Hi,  
I am really interested in Alpaca’s approach to trading; I am glad an institution is trying to be more open with its API than the other competitors.  
I was wondering, does anyone know if Alpaca has any plans–or thoughts–about including the OTC markets on their platform?  
Thanks

Hey @quinnhammel and @cegfault

We are aware of the interest. If there is not already an open issue for this feature request on the [Alpaca API GitHub Repo](https://github.com/alpacahq/Alpaca-API/issues) please open one there as it is easier to track.

Thank you,  
Jason from Alpaca

Can we PLEASE see otc/pink equities! I’m 100% on board with @Abbey_Road on this one. It would be a GAMECHANGER and I would use Alpaca primarily as soon as that transition occurs. Hey bring me in give me a computer and point me in the right direction and I’ll integrate it for Alpaca free of charge. 🖤 Great service I just want it to expand into the OTC / Pink securities where the real ROI are.
