What it is

Interactive Brokers gives programmatic access to equities, options, futures, FX and bonds on markets worldwide. The APIs are powerful but heavier to integrate than Alpaca's; most Python users go through ib_async or a framework such as LEAN, Lumibot or NautilusTrader.

In the maintainers' words: “Python sync/async framework for Interactive Brokers API (replaces ib_insync)”
