Alpaca Broker API — Account Onboarding & KYC

Create and manage end-user brokerage accounts under your firm. This is the first step of any Broker API integration: no funding, journaling, or trading can happen until an account reaches ACTIVE.

Read alpaca-broker-integration first for base URLs, auth, and conventions. This skill assumes Broker API + HTTP Basic auth.
