Alpaca.jl
is an unofficial SDK for the online brokerage Alpaca.
Alpaca.jl
sources credentials for all API calls from ENV
. You can set your credentials
by adding the following to lines to your ~/.julia/config/startup.jl
:
ENV["APCA-API-KEY-ID"] = "YOUR_API_KEY"
ENV["APCA-API-SECRET-KEY"] = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
The above will allow you full functionality for your paper-trading account. Once you're
ready to use Alpaca.jl
for live trading, you can set your live-trading keys using:
ENV["APCA-LIVE-API-KEY-ID"] = "YOUR_LIVE_API_KEY"
ENV["APCA-LIVE-API-SECRET-KEY"] = "YOUR_LIVE_SECRET_KEY"
and calling the Alpaca.jl
functions with the key-word parameter live = true
