Paper API trade_updates stream

I noticed the Paper API websockets is not working. My live key authenticates to AlpacaStream, but I get the error below when I try to connect with my paper key:

Error: There was an error in authorizing your websocket connection. Object received: { "stream": "authorization", "data": { "action": "authenticate", "message": "access key verification failed", "status": "unauthorized" } }

I checked the urls.js in your code, the paper websockets endpoint is not there, so I figured either paper websockets trade_updates is probably not implemented or Alpaca made one of their confusing changes again. Paper and live accounts share the same wss endpoint for data (wss://data.alpaca.markets/stream), but the trade_updates for paper accounts is at this wss endpoint:

wss://paper-api.alpaca.markets/stream

I will appreciate if this can be integrated.

I’ve gone ahead and pushed a new version which has support for paper. You can now specify whether or not the credentials are paper when creating the AlpacaStream like below:

let stream = new AlpacaStream({
  credentials: {
    key: '***',
    secret: '******',
  },
  paper: true,
  stream: 'account',
})

stream.on('authenticated', () =>
  stream.subscribe(['trade_updates'])
)

stream.on('trade_updates', (data) => console.log(data))

Hope this helps! Just make sure you are on version 2.2.4.

Thank you for letting me know, I’ll attempt to integrate this today. 😎
