Swap out Alpaca live data with Polygon API directly?

[interzonez]

I'm not a US citizen and therefore can't access live data from Alpaca within my demo account.

I'm implementing Polygon via seems to work.

def get_polygon_credentials(alpaca_key=None):
    #try:
    #   alpaca_key, _, _ = get_credentials(alpaca_key, 'ignored')
    #except ValueError:
    #    pass

    key_id = '######################'  # os.environ.get('POLYGON_KEY_ID') or alpaca_key

    #if key_id is None:
    #   raise ValueError('Key ID must be given to access Polygon API'
    #                   ' (env: APCA_API_KEY_ID or POLYGON_KEY_ID)')
    return key_id

plus

from polygon import RESTClient
from polygon import WebSocketClient, STOCKS_CLUSTER

I could not get macd to recognise. So using:

from ta import trend

Then:

hist = trend.MACD

Are there any other ways advised to use Polygon data alongside Alpaca and can I therefore trade using ?
