SSE Events Streaming
Alpaca Broker API provides replayable and real-time event streams via Server-Sent Event (SSE). The SSE protocol is a simple yet powerful protocol to satisfy a lot of your needs to build flawless user experience. Each endpoint can be queried by the event timestamp or monotonically incremental integer ID to seamlessly subscribe from the past point-in-time event to the real-time pushes with a simple HTTP request. While all SSE endpoints follow the same JSON object model as other REST endpoints, SSE protocol is a lightweight addition on top of the basic HTTP protocol which is a bit different from REST protocol. Please make sure your client program handles the SSE protocol correctly.
Currently, Events API supports various events such as account, trade, journal and activity events.
