fxoanda

This is an unofficial Oanda API client. This client is still an experimental work in progress however it is reasonably functional.

The client is generated from the Oanda V20 API definitions. The current state of the client API is low-level but usable however I would like to see a more ergonomic layer developed on top.

Installation

 cargo add fxoanda

Example usage

# in your Cargo.toml
reqwest = {version = "0.12.2", features = ["json"]}
tokio = { version = "1.37.0", features = ["macros", "time", "rt-multi-thread"] }
use std::env;
use fxoanda::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let api_key = env::var("OANDA_KEY").expect("expected OANDA_KEY environment variable to be set");
    let api_host = env::var("OANDA_HOST").expect("expected OANDA_HOST environment variable to be set");

    let client = fxoanda::Client {
        host: String::from(api_host),
        reqwest: reqwest::Client::new(),
        authentication: String::from(api_key),
    };
    match fxoanda::GetInstrumentCandlesRequest::new()
        .with_instrument("EUR_USD".to_string())
        .with_granularity(CandlestickGranularity::H4)
        .remote(&client).await
    {
        Ok(x) => println!("OK: {:#?}", x),
        Err(e) => eprintln!("ERR: {:#?}", e),
    };
}
