IBKR-API-Rust

Port of Interactive Broker's trading API written in Rust (API_Version=9.76.01)

Please see the latest IB Tws Api documentation here: .

The documentation has information regarding configuring Trader WorkStation and IB Gateway to enable API access.

For usage of this library, please see the example implementation in src/examples/testhelpers/manualtests.rs

The main structs and traits that clients will use are EClient , a struct that is responsible for connecting to TWS or IB Gateway and sending requests, and Wrapper, a trait that clients will implement that declares callback functions that get called when the application receives messages from TWS/IB Gateway.

Example

In the example below, TWS will send the next valid order ID when the sample application connects. This will cause the Wrapper callback method nextvalidid to be called, which will start sending test requests to TWS (see the startrequests method in TestWrapper which is called by nextvalid_id).

, no_run
use twsapi::core::errors::IBKRApiLibError;
use twsapi::core::client::EClient;
use std::time::Duration;
use twsapi::examples::test_helpers::TestWrapper;
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
use std::thread;
fn main() -> Result<(), IBKRApiLibError> {     let wrapper = Arc::new(Mutex::new(TestWrapper::new()));     let app = Arc::new(Mutex::new(EClient::new(wrapper.clone())));
println!("getting connection...");
wrapper.lock().expect("Wrapper mutex was poisoned").client = Option::from(app.clone());
app.lock()         .expect("EClient mutex was poisoned")         .connect("127.0.0.1", 4002, 0)?;
thread::sleep(Duration::new(18600, 0));
Ok(()) }

TODO

[X] Expand documentation - Done
[ ] Write automated tests - in progress
[ ] Write an async function in TestWrapper that checks when nextvalidid has been populated by the callback
[ ] Publish to crates.io
