alphameta 2.4.4

IBKR trading + SEC research API gateway

AlphaMeta

AlphaMeta is a REST API gateway for IBKR (Interactive Brokers) — live trading and real-time market data for stocks, options, futures, and crypto via a standardized REST API. Commands run as HTTP endpoints behind a FastAPI gateway, callable via curl or any HTTP client.

Also includes SEC EDGAR research commands — filing listing, 13F investors, insider trades, XBRL financial statements and segment data.

Quick start

pip install alphameta

Requires an IBKR Gateway or TWS instance for trading operations.
