When I try to use the python code example from github (GitHub - alpacahq/alpaca-trade-api-python: Python client for Alpaca's trade API) for fetching quotes, I get the following error:
‘REST’ object has no attribute ‘get_quotes’
I literally copied and pasted into a Jupyter notebook. Only change I made was to add my keys.
I may have partially figured it out. I just upgraded to the premium data subscription, but I still get rate limit errors (not exceeding 1000 calls/minute). Dumb question, but do I have to do anything different to access the premium subscription?
For anyone encountering this issue in the future, I was having some sort of dependency issue with PyYAML that was preventing my alpaca package from updating. Had to uninstall PyYAML, uninstall alpaca_trade_api, reinstall PyYAML, then reinstall alpaca_trade_api in that exact order to resolve.
hello do you have more detail on how you managed to debug that? i am using Docker to try out the Alpaca_trade_api but i also runs into this problem, however i didnt have PyYAML in my environment which means that some other package i am using have installed PyYAML as their dependence.
