Is it possible to build application for buying and selling stocks (like robinhood) with alpaca api? if so, what would be the requirements? is there anything i need to do before start building? i have same question for crypto

Hi Tesla_Solution,

  1. To start build your application, you just need to register an Aplaca account (verify it), get the API key & secret, and you are good to go!
  2. You should also spend some time to look at the Alpaca - Disclosures and Agreements Library docs.

Hi Tesla_Solution, we have lifted the $30,000 minimum deposit… now all non-US users to fund their accounts with as little as $1.
