Benoit Chambon
Awesome! @nazim_m check this out! Which data license system are you bound by? What's the difference between you and players like Polygon.io and IEX? Congrats on the launch btw ;)
abel sohajda
@benoit_chambon thank you! We are under the CTA/UTP administration. Alpaca is an API platform that empowers developers to build and execute trading algorithms.
Benoit Chambon
@abel_sohajda1 awesome! What's the interest of being licensed under both CTA and UTP? :)
Girdharee Saran
This is cool! @yokokawa244 One of my routines every morning before stock opens is go through various apps looking for data and news :) Are my funds secure with Alpaca?
Yoshi Yokokawa
@giri thanks for asking :) pls check out the link that talks about SIPC! https://forum.alpaca.markets/t/i...

Congrats on the launch! How do you define "Commercial use" and it's not supported?
Crest
@bogomep We define commercial use as in-app or redistribution. We do support these but need to understand how you plan to use the market data before proceeding. You can find more information about what commercial use might include on our website: https://alpaca.markets/data Thank you for your support and for asking a great question! 💪
Yoshi Yokokawa
@bogomep This means in-app use case. We actually have such pricing plan. Pls let us know at support@alpaca.markets
Leonidas Costas
Hi !! Thanks for the work :) I'm wondering what do you mean by "real-time", as real-time feed a quite expensive for companies, are you relying on Reuter's feed with 15min of delay ?
abel sohajda
@leonidas_costas thanks for the feedback! Real-time as in we provide low latency tick-by-tick data. The data feed is coming as direct feed from exchanges known as SIP.
Stefan Sathianathen
How far are options?
Crest
@stefan_r_s 🌶 question! Good news is that it's definitely on our roadmap and we're working towards it! @yokokawa244 said to check back in with us!

@marmmaz Amazing! Thank you & can't wait for you to build on Alpaca! 🦙

I'd be curious to hear what this adds to the EDGAR feed? Might have a commercial use case, at least in the future.

Does using the API on a trading blog count as commercial use?
abel sohajda
@ken_moo It would depend on how you plan to use it on the blog. Pls reach out to us at support@alpaca.markets to discuss
