Alpaca's Broker API is the best in the business. We wouldn't have been able to launch by now if not for their amazing new rebalancing API.

This is a scam. I used them for many months without issues. Then I needed to withdraw funds as markets started falling. They have flat out refused to allow me to withdraw my funds for over a week. No apology, no explanation. No one picks up the phone when I call. This is a scam, not a real brokerage. Run away!

Crypto Buyer's Guide

From the moment I used the product years and years ago, I knew this would become a massive product with a huge userbase and reached out to get involved. API saves you a lot of time and it's designed for developers in mind. Easy onboarding.

Well-documented, awesome Python SDK, and fast trading API.

I love Alpaca, not only for its outstanding APIs and platform, but also for Alpaca's dedication to enable trading globally. It's fantastic to see how Alpaca's constantly broadening its product offerings, and the recent introduction of Options adds another layer of excitement to its already impressive lineup. It would be wonderful if Alpaca could expand its crypto offering to Lebanon as well!
