  Absolutely! Here's a Python script example that showcases the implementation of the Alpaca trade API for trading cryptocurrencies: ```python import alpaca_trade_api as tradeapi api = tradeapi.REST('<API Key>', '<API Secret>', base_url='https://paper-api.alpaca.markets') # Execute a market order to purchase 1 Bitcoin api.submit_order( symbol='BTC', qty=1, side='buy', type='market', time_in_force='gtc' ) # Place a limit order to sell 1 Ethereum at $2000 api.submit_order( symbol='ETH', qty=1, side='sell', type='limit', time_in_force='gtc', limit_price=2000 ) # Obtain account information account = api.get_account() print(account) ```
