backtrader-api uses deprecated alpaca-trade-api - will it be migrated to alpaca-py?

[akosmaroy]

I see that backtrader-api uses alpaca-trade-api, which is deprecated by Alpaca. The new Python API is alpaca-py.

Is there a way to backtest using alpaca-py? Will backtrader-api be migrated to alpaca-py?

@akosmaroy It has been a while since your comment, can you share what were the alternatives that you ended up pursuing? Because I have all in backtrader now, however as far as I have seen, there is not a backtrader api that uses alpaca-py yet. So, migrating to paper trading does not seem to be very straightforward.
