ig-brokers

Unofficial Rust library for the IG REST API

Disclaimer

This is an unofficial implementation, and early in its development. Everything hasn't been fully tested yet, so please use at your own risk. Given the following warning, any financial losses incurred from using this will be your own responsibility.

Usage

Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
ig-brokers = { git = "https://github.com/satnav/ig-brokers.git" }

.env

IG_ACCOUNT_ID=<Your IG Account Id>
IG_API_KEY=<Your IG API KEY>
IG_USERNAME=<Your IG Username>
IG_PASSWORD=<Your IG Password>

Example

use dotenv::dotenv;
use ig_brokers::api::IG;
use ig_brokers::models::*;
use std::env;

fn main() {
	// Load .env file
	dotenv().unwrap();

	// Extract environment variables
	let account_id = env::var("IG_ACCOUNT_ID").unwrap();
	let api_key = env::var("IG_API_KEY").unwrap();
	let username = env::var("IG_USERNAME").unwrap();
	let password = env::var("IG_PASSWORD").unwrap();

	// Switch to IG::live for live account
	let api = IG::demo(account_id, api_key, username, password);

	// Call endpoint, for reference use the IG REST API documentation
	// https://labs.ig.com/rest-trading-api-reference
	match api.get_accounts() {
		Ok(res) => println!("{:?}", res),
		Err(e) => println!("{:?}", e)
	};
}

Tests

Not all tests have been implemented yet, and the ones that have are fairly basic. Becuase the IG Web API has a rate limiter, majority will fail if you try to run them all at one. Unfortunately you will need to test them one by one and wait a minute if you get an error. Additionally you will need to execute the tests during an active trading period (e.g. weekdays) otherwise some may fail as well.
