Key Takeaways. An application programming interface (API) establishes an online connection between a data provider and an end-user. For financial markets, APIs interface trading algorithms or models and an exchange's and/or broker's platform. An API is essential to implementing an automated trading strategy.
Alpaca offers simple, modern API-first solutions to enable anyone, either individuals or businesses, to connect applications and build algorithms to buy and sell stocks or crypto.
Jerremy Alexander Newsome is considered one of the leading global minds on Stock Market education. He serves as the CEO of Real Life Trading and the Founder of the Non-Profit RL Foundation.
AFAIK, TradeStation is the most famous of the lot. Most other trading softwares provide APIs (NinjaTrader, MetaStock etc). FWIW, there are even competitions of automated trading systems -- see this.
Also, this is something that the exchange has to support and your broker has to allow. Most exchanges I know of, do not allow automated trading without prior permission.
