Alpaca
Alpaca is a developer-first financial API platform that provides commission-free stock, options, and crypto trading capabilities alongside real-time and historical market data. Designed for algorithmic traders, fintech developers, and financial applications, Alpaca offers a REST API for programmatic order management, portfolio tracking, and market data access across U.S. equities, options contracts, and cryptocurrency assets. The platform supports both paper (simulated) and live trading environments, making it easy to test strategies before deploying them in production.
