Cancel all the open orders using Python API

How can I close all the open orders using python API? A Python equivalent of this link!

If using the python alpaca-trade-api-python SDK one can cancel all orders with the cancel_all_orders method something like this

# Imports we need. 
import alpaca_trade_api as alpacaapi

# Set endpoints for either live or paper trading
ALPACA_API_ENDPOINT = 'https://paper-api.alpaca.markets'
ALPACA_API_KEY_ID = 'XXXXX'
ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY = 'XXXXXXX'

# Get a reference to a a rest object
api = alpacaapi.REST(ALPACA_API_KEY_ID, ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY, ALPACA_API_ENDPOINT)

# Cancel all orders.
api.cancel_all_orders()

One can check if the orders actually canceled by listing all open orders. The result should be an empty list.

open_orders_list = api.list_orders(status='open')

@dan_whitnable
We have stop_price which is an input parameter for the stopping condition. Is there a way to get the closing price on the closed orders?

is it possible to cancel all outstanding orders and/or all positions at a specific time?
like at 1630hrs., at the very last minute of the trade?
