alpaca-mock

alpaca-mock is an executable mock server for alpaca-rust trade flows.

Install:

cargo install alpaca-mock

Run locally:

cargo run -p alpaca-mock

From the workspace repository root, install and start it as a local user service on macOS or Ubuntu:

./scripts/install-alpaca-mock-service.sh

Runtime configuration:

• ALPACA_MOCK_LISTEN_ADDR defaults to 127.0.0.1:3847
• market-data-backed flows require ALPACA_DATA_API_KEY and ALPACA_DATA_SECRET_KEY

The crate also exposes a thin library surface for test-server bootstrapping and mock state wiring.

Current mock coverage is intentionally focused on the trade mainline:

• account
• orders
• positions
• activities

What alpaca-mock is not:

• a generic Alpaca simulator
• a replacement for live API verification
• a fake market-data generator with invented prices
