description: Ally Invest is an online brokerage platform offering commission-free self-directed trading of US stocks, ETFs,
  and options with no account minimums. The platform provides REST APIs (originally developed from the TradeKing acquisition)
  for managing self-directed investment accounts, placing trades, accessing streaming real-time market data, retrieving account
  balances and holdings, managing watchlists, and querying market quotes and news. Authentication uses OAuth 1.0 with consumer
  and token credentials. Responses are available in JSON and XML formats.
