API Docs don't appear to be working

Getting Started with Alpaca
1

So I’m literally just trying to the very first thing (for reference I’ve built my algo platform using the TDA api but I don’t want to use schwab and also it’s not that good), however with that API I can just get a bid price by inputing a ticker. For this, it seems I should be using the streaming function (which I recognize is a better solution), when I try to test it out by just doing this:

from alpaca.data.live import StockDataStream

wss_client = StockDataStream(key,key)

async def quote_data_handler(data: Any):
print(data)

wss_client.subscribe_quotes(quote_data_handler, “SPY”)

wss_client.run()

which comes directly from these docs: Market Data - Alpaca-py

but it just tells me that “Any” is not defined which is true. Either I’m using an outdated version of python (possible) or I’m missing something else…

Anyone help me get started?

I get the same thing as well and can’t figure out what I need to do.
Only thing I can think of, is that it’s the any() in python.

Maybe this is just a documentation error and it should be any. I tried it and put lower case any and it seems to run. Waiting to get data though.

Hey, did it work for you? I gave up on getting the streaming function to work and opted to just loop on my tickers and check the price that way
