02Data
What you can sync.
- Bars
- Trades
- Quotes
- Orders
- Positions
Join Alpaca bars with your own figures, so plans and reports carry the market context they need.
Need more? Name any other Alpaca data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An API key
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
Alpaca uses an API key or OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in AlpacaDB if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Alpaca.
Open Lake, pick Alpaca in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Alpaca API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Alpaca documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example bars and trades), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Alpaca data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
