Congrats on the launch! How do you define "Commercial use" and it's not supported?
Crest
Maker
@bogomep We define commercial use as in-app or redistribution. We do support these but need to understand how you plan to use the market data before proceeding. You can find more information about what commercial use might include on our website: https://alpaca.markets/data Thank you for your support and for asking a great question! 💪

@bogomep This means in-app use case. We actually have such pricing plan. Pls let us know at support@alpaca.markets

Awesome! @nazim_m check this out! Which data license system are you bound by? What's the difference between you and players like Polygon.io and IEX? Congrats on the launch btw ;)

Does using the API on a trading blog count as commercial use?

Leonidas Costas
Hi !! Thanks for the work :) I'm wondering what do you mean by "real-time", as real-time feed a quite expensive for companies, are you relying on Reuter's feed with 15min of delay ?
abel sohajda
Maker
@leonidas_costas thanks for the feedback! Real-time as in we provide low latency tick-by-tick data. The data feed is coming as direct feed from exchanges known as SIP.
