Alpaca Data API mentions (8)

• Why is trading info so slow?

  Have you looked at Alpaca's Market Data API or Polygon.io. Both premium options are reasonably priced and give you access to both historical and real time trades. Source: over 1 year ago

• Algo trading for dissertation

  I think https://alpaca.markets/data still offers free api keys for research purposes. Source: over 1 year ago

• Costs for Algo Traders

  Https://alpaca.markets/data - As you see you get 100% market coverage for all US exchanges and unlimited API / WebSocket access. They also have 1min bar historical data (I do not know about the tick level). I can not speak to the quality of the API Access as I have a TotalView subscription. Source: almost 2 years ago

• API for Fund Analysis

  Free tier for researchers, now $99/month for the algotrading access (link: https://alpaca.markets/data). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Question about (somewhat) live market volume data

  Https://alpaca.markets/data free plan has 200 calls/minute limit which is what you want anyway. Source: about 2 years ago

  I'd suggest Twelve Data for the financial data feed, if you have a budget for this: https://twelvedata.com/. Source: 6 months ago

• Weekend Discussion Thread for the Weekend of May 06, 2022

  Twelve Data has a free one but don't know how good it is. u/flarmster that's the one I was talking about. Do you know a better one? Source: about 2 years ago

• An ePaper ticker for PM spot prices. Code on github.

  I looked into the code and found that it uses twelvedata.com for the api. I registered there to test it out but with the free api key you can not get the price for silver it seems? "**symbol** XAG is not available with your plan." Anyone knows a free api where I can access silver charts for free? Source: about 2 years ago
