How to connect
Ironbeam.
Ironbeam documents token authentication, symbol search, entitled exchanges and streams for quotes, depth and trades. It offers distinct demo and live services.
Alpharch still needs an implemented, tested adapter and any required provider approval. Having an account alone does not enable this connection.
Before you start
- API-enabled account access from Ironbeam and exchange permissions.
- An implemented and tested Alpharch integration.
Prepare your connection
Confirm account API access
Ask Ironbeam whether the intended account is enabled for the API and requested environment.
Check symbols and entitled exchanges
Use the account’s actual instruments and data permissions; a successful login alone is insufficient.
Connect once released
Alpharch’s Ironbeam adapter is not available. A future local connection must authenticate against the correct demo or live service.
If something is missing
Account connects but the symbol is unknown
Check the provider’s symbol search and contract expiry.
No depth stream
Verify exchange entitlement and a separate depth subscription.
