Alpaca-API VS yfinance

Is there anyone using Alpaca for long term and passive investing? I am neither a US nor Europe residence, so it is pretty hard to find a decent broker. I came across alpaca.market https://alpaca.markets/ and noticed that there is zero comission for buying and selling stocks. I know that it has pretty good API especially for developers and day traders, but i am particularly interested in long term passive investing, and not interesting in day trading at all. Is it goog for long term passive investing (buying and holding etfs)?

No worries at all! https://alpaca.markets/ is another route for market data. Real time data is cheaper but it is lacking technical analysis. We used to use it and it's pretty good.

Access to historical data from Alpaca and Yahoo Finance, or from your own data provider.

I have been looking at https://alpaca.markets/ and wanted to use it to test out some of my API based trading.

What guarantees or structures are in place to make sure it doesn't end up like FTX?

Market data is an easier one to answer. We currently use https://alpaca.markets/ and they're pretty good, but we're also looking at https://polygon.io/ as they're the industry leader (but also 2k per month for what we require).

I'm trying to make an HTTPS request with an ESP32 to this website alpaca.markets. I have the CA cert and I'm using WiFiClientSecure.h. Here's my code, main.cpp is underneath all that.

Or you can sign up for a free account at Alpaca and use their historical data API. Then you can get data on many tickers with one function call.

If you check the file here - https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance/blob/main/yfinance/base.py - you can see this is communicated via the "raise Exception('%s: %s' % (self.ticker, err_msg))" line. I'm trying to use the following to catch the exception but no luck.

You should give yfinance a try (Github)

This is cool. I’ve been playing around with plotting data as well, though I’ve used other tools, specifically yfinance to download data and gnuplot for the graphs. I think you found the easier to use graph library, but I recommend you check out yfinance for getting the data in the same script.

You might look at the yfinance module. It's done the work for you.

That's where you have APIs FundamentalAnalysis, yfinance and OpenBB for that connect very well with my database.

From the S&P Global rebalancing announcements, I pulled every company that was added and removed from the ASX200 in 2020 and made two separate portfolios of even weighting of all stocks. I then backtested, including dividends, the performance of both across the past two years with yfinance.

Well, it's not a "Yahoo! Finance" issue. yfinance is a 3rd party project and isn't associated with Yahoo!. And it's apparently a known issue that started today: https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance/issues/1246
