> Trading APIs and brokerage infrastructure for developers

Alpaca provides trading APIs and brokerage infrastructure for developers building investment tools. Its Trading API lets users connect their own software to supported markets, including stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto. Market data feeds and software development kits help developers research ideas, monitor prices, and manage orders without building every connection from scratch.

For businesses, the Broker API supports embedding brokerage accounts and investing features into other applications. Developers can start with paper trading to test order handling and strategy behavior using simulated funds before connecting an eligible live account. The platform serves both individuals writing automated trading software and teams building customer-facing financial products.
