alpaca-rust

alpaca-rust is the public documentation home for the Rust workspace that publishes:

  • alpaca-core
  • alpaca-rest-http
  • alpaca-data
  • alpaca-trade
  • alpaca-mock
  • alpaca-time
  • alpaca-option
  • alpaca-facade

The public Rust surface is split into three layers:

  • Foundation SDK: direct Alpaca HTTP clients plus shared transport
  • Semantic core: reusable market-time and option-domain semantics
  • Convenience facade: higher-level composition on top of the lower layers

Primary application entry points:

  • alpaca-data
  • alpaca-trade
  • alpaca-time
  • alpaca-option
  • alpaca-facade

Optional TypeScript companions exist inside the workspace, but they are plus features rather than the primary published system surface:

  • @alpaca/time (packages/alpaca-time)
  • @alpaca/option (packages/alpaca-option)
  • @alpaca/trade (packages/alpaca-trade) — execution model companion only

Coverage Snapshot​

  • alpaca-data covers the adopted Alpaca Market Data HTTP scope for stocks, options, news, and corporate actions
  • alpaca-trade covers the adopted Alpaca Trading HTTP scope for account, activities, assets, calendar/clock, options contracts, orders, portfolio history, positions, and watchlists
  • alpaca-time, alpaca-option, and alpaca-facade provide the shared semantic and convenience layers used above those HTTP crates

Explicitly Out Of Scope​

The current published Rust release line does not implement:

  • market-data crypto, forex, fixed income, logos, or screener APIs
  • trading crypto, fixed income, broker, FIX, websocket, or stream APIs
  • strategy orchestration, provider fallback systems, or application singletons
