Pylivetrader: HTTPError: unauthorized on alpaca

Alpaca Products Discussion

I am trying to run the simple example on the pylivetrader github page. When I do so, I get an unauthorized message:

raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://data.alpaca.markets/v1/aggs/ticker/AAPL/range/1/minute/1589200080000/1589212140000?unadjusted=False&apiKey=PKC6MPB8R8KMQX2D3UR9

I have already gone into the Polygon REST and changed from api.polygon. io to ‘data.alpaca.markets’. I have also tried with both v1 and v2. I have uninstalled/reinstalled both the pylivetrader and alpaca_trade_api.

If I leave it with V2, then I get the following error message:

In order to access Polygon API, you have to have live brokerage account opened. We are updating pylivetrader to use Alpaca data API by default (with a choice of Polygon)
