Getting Assets via Broker API

[YannickFuereder]

I am trying to do this

client := alpaca.NewClient(alpaca.ClientOpts{
		BrokerKey:    os.Getenv("APCA_BROKER_KEY_ID"),
		BrokerSecret: os.Getenv("APCA_BROKER_SECRET_KEY"),
		BaseURL:      "https://broker-api.sandbox.alpaca.markets",
})

assets, err := client.GetAssets(alpaca.GetAssetsRequest{})

Response:

Error fetching assets: endpoint not found. (HTTP 404)

This is because the client makes a request to the v2 endpoint which the Broker Api currently doesnt
support

Am i missing something or is there is currently no way to set the version of the client?

@YannickFuereder The Go SDK currently doesn't support the Broker API whatsoever. The broker key/secret authentication was added so that the market-data endpoints can be used with them.

do you mind me adding them?

You mean adding them all? That would be a gigantic change. Or do you mean adding just the broker assets endpoint? In either case, we should really think it through how we'd want to add them exactly.

i will be adding them all but this will take a while. Should i also add a way to override the default version of the client?

I really don't recommend adding everything. It's a lot of work and is going to be hard to get merged. If you'd like to work on this, let's start with something small, e.g. just the assets endpoint. And let's think it through how we want to add this. At this moment I'm thinking about adding a whole new package for the broker API (e.g. broker). But we will probably need to refactor some stuff, too.
