Stocks offered by Alpaca

Getting Started with Alpaca
1

I am thinking of opening an account on Alpaca, but the thing is I usually trade small cap stocks (let’s say max 700 million market cap). Are these stocks offered on Alpaca or are they too small? I couldn’t find a list of the securities they offer…

Hi Yannick! You can always retrieve the list of assets we offer via

  1. the GET/v2/assets endpoint which should print out all the assets we offer and whether they are trade-able, fractionable, …
  2. The dashboard by searching for the asset you are interested in (both paper and live)

Hope that helps! Please reach out if you need anything else!
