Hey I was wondering how you ingest stock market data. What source do you use, and do you use a connector, or did you write one yourself?


I use Alpaca[1], specifically the Node.js `websocket.onStockTrades` method and a bit of custom JavaScript code.

Very cool! I haven't been able to find a more real-time data source yet. Thanks for sharing!
