I’m currently working in the QuantConnect Research environment and exploring the possibility of connecting to external LLM services (such as Claude, GPT, etc.) via API keys.

Specifically, I’m interested in making requests from the Research environment to remote LLM endpoints, which would involve internet access and potentially sending data outside the platform.

Before proceeding further, I’d like to clarify:

  • Is it allowed under QuantConnect’s platform rules to connect to external LLM APIs using API keys in the Research environment?
  • Are there any restrictions or limitations regarding outbound internet access or data transmission?

I want to make sure everything stays within the platform’s guidelines before implementing anything.
