🚧 WARNING 🚧
This SDK is currently in development and not yet stable. The API may change. Please report any issues you find. Thank you! 🙏 When the version number loses the-previewsuffix, the SDK is ready for production use. You can track progress and join the discussion here 😃.
A TypeScript SDK for the https://alpaca.markets REST API and WebSocket streams.
- REST API
- WebSocket Streams
- Built-in Rate Limiting (Token Bucket)
- TypeScript
- Deno
- Node (ESM)
- > 35% Test Coverage (and growing)
- Tree-shakable
- Both ESM and CJS Support
- Zero Dependencies 🤯 (you read that right)
- Community Driven 🚀
Feel free to contribute and PR to your 💖's content.
From NPM:
npm install @alpacahq/typescript-sdk
From Skypack (or any CDN that supports ESM):
import { createClient } from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/@alpacahq/typescript-sdk";First, you'll need to create an API key on the Alpaca website. You can do that here. Once you have an API key, you can use it to create a client.
import { createClient } from "@alpacahq/typescript-sdk";
const client = createClient({
key: "YOUR_API_KEY_ID",
secret: "YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY",
// Or, provide an access token if you're using OAuth.
// accessToken: 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
});By default, the client will make requests to the paper trading environment (https://paper-api.alpaca.markets). This is a safety measure to prevent accidental trades.
You can set the following environment variables to configure the client:
APCA_KEY_ID: Your API key.APCA_KEY_SECRET: Your API secret.APCA_ACCESS_TOKEN: Your access token (if using OAuth).APCA_DEBUG: Enables debug logging.
The client will automatically use these values if they are set. They will not override any credentials explicitly passed to createClient.
You can customize the rate limiting by passing a tokenBucket object to the createClient function. This object should contain the capacity and fillRate for the rate limiter.
tokenBucket: {
// Maximum number of tokens that can be stored
capacity: 200,
// Number of tokens refilled per second
fillRate: 60,
}Bursting is allowed, but the client will block requests if the token bucket is empty. The token bucket is shared across all requests. If you have multiple clients they will not share the same bucket.
