Still a Work In Progress Not Production Ready. Not Liable for Any Issues. Recommended for Paper Accounts only.
Alpaca is a trading platform for developers and app makers, and they provide various endpoints to access over http. The goal of this package is to provide the bare minimum tools for using the Alpaca API.
- Get Stock Bars
- Get Stock Trades
- Get Positions
- Place Orders
- View Account
- View Activity
To install the Alpaca API Client, you will need Rust installed on your machine. If you don't have Rust installed, you can follow the official guide.
Once Rust is installed, you can install the Alpaca API Client using cargo:
cargo install alpaca_api_client
Add your API keys to an .env file in the root of your directory with these names.
/.env
APCA_API_KEY_ID=<pub_key>
APCA_API_SECRET_KEY=<secret_key>
Get Bars for a single stock
use alpaca_api_client::get_bars;
// Args(symbol, timeframe, query)
let bars = get_bars("BTU", "1Day", Some("start=2023-02-23")).unwrap();
Get Bars for multiple symbols
use alpaca_api_client::{get_multi_bars, MultiBars};
let watchlist: [&str; 3] = ["META", "DIS", "VZ"];
let multiple_bars = get_multi_bars(&watchlist, "1Day", Some("start=2023-01-01")).unwrap();
Place Market order
use alpaca_api_client::{place_market_order, OrderSide};
// Args(symbol, quantity, side)
let order = place_market_order("SO", 3.0, OrderSide::Buy).unwrap();
Place Bracket order
use alpaca_api_client::{place_bracket_order, OrderSide};
// Args(symbol, quantity, side, take_profit, stop_loss)
let order = place_bracket_order("ABBV", 3.0, OrderSide::Buy, 170.00, 120.00).unwrap();
Any and all PR's are welcome. I see a need for this type of Rust client to support Alpaca's v2 API.
