• Easy to use - Minimal setup and no boilerplate.
• Cross-platform - can run on most platforms that Rust can run on, including WebAssembly.
• Interoperable - does not depend on any async runtime, so you can use whatever executor you want, like Tokio, actix-rt, or async-std's own executor.
• Supports all Alpaca APIs - Broker, Trading and Market Data APIs.

Use this command:

cargo add alpaca-rs

Or add this to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
alpaca-rs = "<latest crates.io version>"

Use this command:

cargo add alpaca-rs --git https://github.com/PassivityTrading/alpaca-rs

Or add this to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
# ... other dependencies ...
alpaca-rs.git = "https://github.com/PassivityTrading/alpaca-rs"

Beware that if you use the git version, it may break, it may not even compile, etc. We do not recommend you use this, but if you want the latest changes or there is no suitable crates.io version, this would work.

Create a client:

use alpaca_rs::prelude::*;

let auth: BrokerAuth = BrokerAuth { key: std::env::var("ALPACA_BROKER_KEY").unwrap().into() };
let client = BrokerClient::new_sandbox(auth);

Make an account:

use alpaca_rs::prelude::*;

fn get_contact() -> Contact { todo!() }
fn get_identity() -> Identity { todo!() }

async fn run() -> Result<(), AlpacaError> {
    let client = BrokerClient::new_sandbox(BrokerAuth { key: std::env::var("ALPACA_BROKER_KEY").unwrap().into() });
    let account = client.create_account(get_contact(), get_identity()).execute().await?;
    println!("Created account: {account:#?}");
    Ok(())
}
