Orders

alpaca-trade::Client::orders() exposes order lifecycle endpoints.

Implemented Methods​

  • list
  • create
  • cancel_all
  • get
  • replace
  • cancel
  • get_by_client_order_id

Typical Request​

use rust_decimal::Decimal;
use alpaca_trade::{
    Client,
    orders::{CreateRequest, OrderSide, OrderType, TimeInForce},
};

let client = Client::from_env()?;
let order = client
    .orders()
    .create(CreateRequest {
        symbol: Some("AAPL".into()),
        qty: Some(Decimal::ONE),
        side: Some(OrderSide::Buy),
        r#type: Some(OrderType::Market),
        time_in_force: Some(TimeInForce::Day),
        ..CreateRequest::default()
    })
    .await?;
# let _ = order;
# Ok::<(), alpaca_trade::Error>(())

Request Notes​

  • path identifiers are validated to reject empty strings and /
  • symbol-like text fields reject empty or whitespace-only values
  • the public API mirrors the official request shape instead of inventing higher-level workflow helpers

Not Implemented Here​

  • order strategy orchestration
  • smart defaults based on account state
  • complex execution policy engines outside the official request contract
