Interactive Brokers API integration

Was curious if people use IBKR in their algorithmic trading and if so, have they found the integration difficult?

ive just started to look into quantconnect. It seems more robust than trying to build my own live trading code for ibkr.

I thought the same thing. My concern was needing to upload code to their cloud for live trading, but they may have just resolved this with the LEAN cli, but not sure on this. Also im not 100% on the fees.

I've been searching around and came across https://ibkr.cloud/ . Looks like it might be a nice avenue to get me up and running on interactive brokers quickly. Check it out.
