.NET SDK for Alpaca Markets API

This package contains C#/.NET SDK for Alpaca Trade API. See complete online documentation here.

.NET Core Usage Example

  1. Create a new console application in a new, empty folder by running dotnet new console.
  2. Add a reference for Alpaca .NET SDK with dotnet add package Alpaca.Markets.
  3. Replace content of the auto-generated Program.cs file with this code snippet:
using System;
using Alpaca.Markets;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace AlpacaExample
{
    internal static class Program
    {
        private const String KEY_ID = "";

        private const String SECRET_KEY = "";

        public static async Task Main()
        {
            var client = Environments.Paper
                .GetAlpacaTradingClient(new SecretKey(KEY_ID, SECRET_KEY));

            var clock = await client.GetClockAsync();

            if (clock != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(
                    "Timestamp: {0}, NextOpen: {1}, NextClose: {2}",
                    clock.TimestampUtc, clock.NextOpenUtc, clock.NextCloseUtc);
            }
        }
    }
}
  1. Replace the KEY_ID and SECRET_KEY values with your data from the Alpaca dashboard.
  2. Run the sample application using dotnet run command and check the output. You should see information about the current market timestamp and when the market will open and close next.

See the UsageExamples project for near-to-real-world strategy implementation using this SDK and the Alpaca.Markets.Tests repository for SDK usage examples. The Wiki pages contain a lot of additional information about different aspects of this SDK (environments handling, authentication types, different order placement approaches, streaming client subscriptions handling, etc.).

- BREAKING: The `ICalendar`, `ITimeInterval`, `IInclusiveTimeInterval`, `IExclusiveTimeInterval`, `TimeInterval`, and `IRequestWithTimeInterval<T>` types were removed. Use `IIntervalCalendar` with `ListIntervalCalendarAsync`, and pass `Interval<DateTime>` or `DateOnly` ranges on historical, calendar, and announcement requests.
- BREAKING: Crypto latest/snapshot APIs that used `LatestDataRequest`, `LatestBestBidOfferRequest`, `SnapshotDataRequest`, or `LatestBestBidOfferListRequest` were removed. Use the list-based `LatestDataListRequest` methods for latest bars, trades, and quotes on `IAlpacaCryptoDataClient`; use `SnapshotDataListRequest` with `ListSnapshotsAsync` for snapshots. Exchange filters were removed from historical crypto request types.
- BREAKING: The `IOrder.AssetId`, `IOrder.Symbol`, `IOrder.AssetClass`, and `IOrder.OrderSide` properties are now nullable.
- BREAKING: The `IsDayPatternTrader` and `DayTradeCount` properties were removed from the `IAccount` interface because the corresponding `pattern_day_trader` and `daytrade_count` fields no longer exist in the Alpaca Trading API `Account` response.
- BREAKING: The `DayTradeMarginCallProtection` property was removed from the `IAccountConfiguration` interface, and the `DayTradeMarginCallProtection` enumeration was removed, because the Trading API no longer returns `dtbp_check` on `/v2/account/configurations`.
- BREAKING: The public `UseMessagePack` getter was removed from `StreamingClientConfiguration`.
- BREAKING: The `BaseValue` property in `IPortfolioHistory` is now nullable.
- BREAKING: Remaining fully obsolete members were removed, and obsolete usage is treated as an error.
- Target frameworks are now `netstandard2.0`, `netstandard2.1`, `net462`, `net8.0`, and `net10.0` (`net6.0` was removed).
- Options multi-leg orders are supported.
- The new `IAlpacaOptionsStreamingClient` interface provides real-time options market data streaming.
- The `IAlpacaOptionsDataClient` interface now supports historical option quotes and latest option bars.
- The new `IOrderImbalance` interface and `GetOrderImbalanceSubscription` method were added to `IAlpacaDataStreamingClient`.
- The new `Trail` property was added to the `ChangeOrderRequest` class for updating trailing-stop orders (same unit as the original order).
- The new `MarginRequirementLong` and `MarginRequirementShort` properties were added to the `IAsset` interface. The old `MaintenanceMarginRequirement` property is marked as obsolete.
- The new `DelayedSip`, `Boats`, and `Overnight` values were added to the `MarketDataFeed` enumeration.
- The new `CryptoPerpetual` value was added to the `AssetClass` enumeration (preparatory — Alpaca currently supports spot crypto trading only).
- The new `Ascx` value was added to the `Exchange` enumeration.
- The HTTP User-Agent header now follows the cross-SDK `APCA-DOTNET/<sdk-version> .NET/<runtime-version>` format.
- Fixed `IOrder.OrderClass` so REST orders and trade updates report the real class (`mleg`, `bracket`, and others) instead of always `Simple`. An empty `order_class` from the API maps to `OrderClass.Simple`.
- Fixed a bug where the `NonMarginableBuyingPower` property of the `IAccount` interface was never populated due to a JSON property name typo (`non_maginable_buying_power` instead of `non_marginable_buying_power`).
- Fixed options streaming endpoint construction so the `v1beta1` path is not duplicated.
- All dependencies were updated to the latest stable versions.
