Setup

Add the dependency:

libraryDependencies += "com.cynance" %% "alpaca-scala" % "3.0.0"

The library requires configuration that consists of these 3 properties

• accountKey - The account key from the alpaca account.
• accountSecret - The account secret from the alpaca account.
• isPaper - Determines whether an account is a paper trading account.

The order the configuration properties are read are :

• Class Instantiation - When the Alpaca class is instantiated, it can have the arguments of accountKey, accountSecret and isPaper.
• Config File - This library will automatically pick up from an application.conf for example:

  alpaccaauth {
   accountKey : 'blah',
   accountSecret : 'asdfv',
   isPaper : 'true'
  }
  

• Env Variables - You can also pass in system environment variables and it will pick those up.
