Description
I am trying to use api to make request to Alpaca. The Readme.io demo page shows me that I can add Authorization Headers for the API Key & API Secret. When I follow the example, my code crashes with the following message:
Error: Sorry, this operation currently requires multiple forms of authentication which this library doesn't yet support.
Here is the example:
import api from 'api';
const sdk = api('@testalpacadocs/v1#zryj16ll4d1dl0');
sdk.auth(process.env.API_KEY);
sdk.auth(process.env.API_SECRET);
await sdk.postOrder({side: 'buy', type: 'market', time_in_force: 'day'});

Research direction
Reproduce the example using sdk.auth with API_KEY and API_SECRET, then trace the authentication handling reached by sdk.auth and sdk.postOrder. Done means the generated client accepts both credentials as Authorization headers and the Alpaca request no longer fails with the multiple-authentication error.
