API for buying/selling in NZ

Hi there,

It seems living on the other side of the world can prove to have some repercussions in the stock trading scene.

I am in the process of writing a stock trading program and am looking for an API to buy/sell shares with. Ideally, I'd like to buy and sell in the NASDAQ market, however, I cannot seem to find any APIs that work in NZ for the US market with low/zero commissions.

Interactive brokers have a very high commission of 6AUD per share and Alpaca only works for US residents.

I have both German and UK citizenship so other markets are not out of the question.

My questions:

• Are there any APIs that would let me trade in the US market under my circumstances with low/zero commisions?
• What API would you otherwise suggest for Germany/UK?

Thank you for your time 🙂
