Connect Alpha Vantage

In Xpander Chat, open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and search for Alpha Vantage. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the Organization (one shared account) or Personal (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person’s own sign-in; see whose credential a shared agent uses. Alpha Vantage connects with Sign in with Alpha Vantage: you authorize in the browser and xpander stores the OAuth token; the agent never sees it, and the token is attached at the moment a skill is called. Calls go to https://functions.xpander.ai/alpha_vantage.

​
Give an agent the Alpha Vantage skill

Once Alpha Vantage is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent’s settings, click Add skill, and choose Alpha Vantage. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person’s sign-off under These actions need approval. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see Skills.
