This repository contains a PHP SDK for use with the [Alpaca](https://alpaca.markets?ref_by=858915e73e) API.

**DISCLAIMER:** This is **NOT** an official SDK, it is not affiliated with nor endorsed by Alpaca in any way.

Release Notes
-------------

[](#release-notes)

#### v3.0.0

[](#v300)

With the release of `v3.0.0` of this library we use the Alpaca Data API v2. The `getLastTrade` and `getLastQuote` methods are backwards compatible and require no changes to your codebase.

⚠️ The `getBars` method is NOT backwards compatible so you will need to update your codebase to use the new method signature found in the Market Data section below.

#### v2.0.0

[](#v200)

With the release of `v2.0.0` of this library we use v2 of the Alpaca API. However, the methods are all backwards compatible with v1.0.0 of this library and v1 of the Alpaca API so upgrading should be as simple as updating the package version in your `composer.json` file and installing. Everything should work as it did before but now you'll have access to the new methods and new method parameters.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

**NOTE**: This package currently requires PHP >= 7.2.5

Usage
