IPv6 Support for Alpaca-API

Open MartinLPetrauskas opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

It appears that the Alpaca API only supports IPv4 at this time. I am in the process of updating/migrating my software to utilize IPv6, but the Alpaca API does not seem to support it at this time.

ubuntu@server:~$ dig -6 api.alpaca.markets

I would like the Alpaca API to support IPv6.
