alpaca.getBarsV2 is not a function

following the Documentation:

getBarsV2(
  symbol,
  
  {
    limit: number,
    start: date isoformat string yyyy-mm-ddThh:MM:ss-04:00,
    end: date isoformat string yyyy-mm-ddThh:MM:ss-04:00,
    timeframe: "1Min" | "1Hour" | "1Day"
  }
) => Promise<BarsObject>

Here is my code:

const alpaca = new Alpaca({
    keyId: process.env.ALPACA_API_KEY_ID,
    secretKey: process.env.ALPACA_API_SECRET_KEY,
    paper: true,
    usePolygon: false
  })

alpaca.getBarsV2('GME', {
    limit: 100,
    start: new Date(Date.now() - 30 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 1000).toISOString(), // 30 days ago
    end: new Date().toISOString(),
    timeframe: '1Day',
})

Expected to get Bars. Got alpaca.getBarsV2 is not a function

For the time being if you’re using node.js. Here is my current solution. I decided to do the call manually.

const getHistoricalTradeData = async (symbol) => {
    
    // This gets the date time from wherever the server is located
    const { startDate, endDate } = getDateForHistoricalData(30);
    console.log("Start: ", startDate)
    console.log("End: ", endDate);
    const url = `https://data.alpaca.markets/v2/stocks/${symbol}/trades`
    const options = {
        headers: {
           'APCA-API-KEY-ID': process.env.API_KEY,
           'APCA-API-SECRET-KEY': process.env.API_SECRET
        },
        params: {
            start: startDate,
            end: endDate,
            limit: 1000,
        }
    }
    return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
        await axios.get(url, options)
        .then((response) => {
            // Map response to my data format
            const result = response.data.trades.map((asset, idx) => [Date.parse(asset.t), asset.p])
            resolve(result);
        })
        .catch((err) => {
            console.log("err: ", err);
            reject([]);
        });
    })
}

an example value for startDate would be ‘2021-05-23’

It still doesn’t appear to work properly (or as documented). Certainly doesn’t work close to the V1. I had to solve it via a direct API call to your V2 endpoint and then parse the response data accordingly.

Call to API endpoint (V2):

const stocks = ["AAPL", "TSL"];
let until = new Date()
let start = new Date();
    await fetch(
      "https://data.alpaca.markets/v2/stocks/bars?symbols=" +
        stocks.toString() +
        "&start=" +
        start.toISOString().split('T')[0] +
        "T00:00:00Z&end=" +
        until.toISOString().split("T")[0] +
        "T11:59:00Z&timeframe=1Min",
      {
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
          "Apca-Api-Key-Id": process.env.API_KEY,
          "Apca-Api-Secret-Key": process.env.SECRET_API_KEY,
        },
      }
    )
      .then((response) => {
        if (response.status >= 400) {
          console.log("ERROR: AlpacaMarketDataV2");
        }
        return response.json();
      })
      .then(async (response) => {
        if (response) {
          // do something with response and parse the response data to how you need it
        }
      })
      .catch(function (err) {
        console.log("ERROR: AlpacaMarketDataV2");
        console.error(err);
      });

Example of how to parse the response data:

const stocks = ["AAPL", "TSL"];
let stockData = [];
  let openValues = [];
  let closeValues = [];
  let highValues = [];
  let lowValues = [];
  let volumeValues = [];

  _.forOwn(stocks, (stock) => {
    if (!isBacktest) {
      openValues = _.map(response.bars[stock], (bar) => bar.o);
      closeValues = _.map(response.bars[stock], (bar) => bar.c);
      highValues = _.map(response.bars[stock], (bar) => bar.h);
      lowValues = _.map(response.bars[stock], (bar) => bar.l);
      volumeValues = _.map(response.bars[stock], (bar) => bar.v);
    }

    stockData.push({
      symbol: stock,
      subject: stock,
      lastOrder: lastOrder,
      signals: [], // list of signals (buy/sell) based on algos
      closeValues: closeValues,
      openValues: openValues,
      highValues: highValues,
      lowValues: lowValues,
      volumeValues: volumeValues,
      price: 0,
    });
  });
