OandaAPI

Gem Version Code Climate Test Coverage Build Status

Access Oanda FX accounts, get market data, trade, build trading strategies using Ruby.

Synopsis

OandaAPI is a simple Ruby wrapper for the Oanda REST API.

This style of API wrapper is typically called a fluent interface. The wrapper translates native Ruby objects to and from JSON representations that the API understands.

For example,

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, "practice_account_token")
account = client.account(12345).get

returns an OandaAPI::Resource::Account, with method accessors for all of the Account attributes defined by the Oanda API.

Features

A simple native Ruby reflection of the underlying REST API using Ruby idioms where appropriate.

Enable Oanda's Best Practices recommendations for accessing the API including:

  • Secure connections over SSL with always verified certificates
  • Persistent connections
  • Response compression
  • Request rate limiting

Some Examples

Getting price quotes

require 'oanda_api'

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))

prices = client.prices(instruments: %w(EUR_USD USD_JPY)).get

prices.each do |p|
  p.instrument       # => "EUR_USD"
  p.ask              # => 1.13781
  p.bid              # => 1.13759
  p.time             # => 2015-01-27 21:01:13 UTC
end

Getting candle information

require 'oanda_api'

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))

candles = client.candles( instrument: "EUR_USD",
                         granularity: "M1",
                       candle_format: "midpoint",
                               start: (Time.now - 3600).utc.to_datetime.rfc3339)
                .get

candles.size         # => 57
candles.granularity  # => "M1"
candles.instrument   # => "EUR_USD"

candles.each do |c|
  c.complete?        # => true
  c.open_mid         # => 1.137155
  c.close_mid        # => 1.137185
  c.high_mid         # => 1.13729
  c.low_mid          # => 1.137155
  c.time             # => 2015-01-27 20:26:00 UTC
  c.volume           # => 25
end

Creating a market order

require 'oanda_api'

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))

order = client.account(12345)
              .order(instrument: "USD_JPY",
                           type: "market",
                           side: "buy",
                          units: 10_000)
              .create

order.price            # => 114.887
order.time             # => 2014-12-20 21:25:57 UTC
order.trade_opened.id  # => 175491416

Closing a position

require 'oanda_api'

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))

account = client.account(12345)             # => OandaAPI::NamespaceProxy
position = account.position("USD_JPY").get  # => OandaAPI::Resource::Position

position.ave_price  # => 114.898
position.side       # => "buy"
position.units      # => 30_000

# Close out the 30_000 long position
closed_position = account.position("USD_JPY").close  # => OandaAPI::Resource::Position

closed_position.price        # => 114.858
closed_position.total_units  # => 30_000
closed_position.ids          # => [175490804, 175491421, 175491416]

transaction = account.transaction(175490804).get    # => OandaAPI::Resource::Transaction
transaction.instrument  # => "USD_JPY"
transaction.time        # => 2014-12-19 03:29:48 UTC
transaction.type        # => "MARKET_ORDER_CREATE"

Getting Economic Calendar Information

require 'oanda_api'

# If you want to use sugar like: 1.day, 1.hour, 1.week, etc.
require 'active_support/core_ext/numeric/time'

client = OandaAPI::Client::TokenClient.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))

client.calendar(period: 1.day).get.each do |event|
  event.class     # => OandaAPI::Resource::CalendarEvent
  event.title     # => "Industrial Production"
  event.currency  # => "EUR"
  event.region    # => "europe"
  event.forecast  # => "-0.3"
  event.previous  # => "-0.3"
  event.actual    # => "3.3"
  event.impact    # => "2"
  event.unit      # => "% m/m"
  event.timestamp # => 1457420400
  event.time      # => 2016-03-08 07:00:00 UTC
end

##Streaming OandaAPI also supports the Oanda realtime streaming API.

For example to stream live prices,

client = OandaAPI::Streaming::Client.new(:practice, ENV.fetch("OANDA_PRACTICE_TOKEN"))
prices = client.prices(account_id: 1234, instruments: %w[AUD_CAD AUD_CHF])
prices.stream do |price|
  # Note: The code in this block should handle the price
  #       as efficiently as possible, otherwise the connection could timeout.
  #       For example, you could publish the tick on a queue to be handled
  #       by some other thread or process.
  price  # => OandaAPI::Resource::Price
end
