oanda-rs
An async, provider-native Rust client for the OANDA REST-v20 API.
The Cargo package and import name are oanda-client and oanda_client; -rs belongs to the
repository name. This is an independent, unofficial client, unaffiliated with OANDA. It is designed
as an inner provider client that SharurPlatform can later consume through its own adapter. The
adapter is outside this repository.
The project is licensed under MIT No Attribution (MIT-0). The minimum supported Rust version is 1.95.0.
Version 1 follows Semantic Versioning. Public API changes that require downstream source changes will be released under a new major version; additive APIs and fixes use minor and patch releases. Provider contract changes can still require callers to update operational behavior, so review the changelog before upgrading and keep recovery around ambiguous money-moving outcomes.
Status
The six OANDA v20 endpoint pages and their linked definitions, reviewed on 2026-09-25, are the contract authority. The pinned official OpenAPI revision is a cross-check; documented differences are recorded rather than silently adopting older operations.
| Capability | Current surface |
|---|---|
| Documented operations | 32/32 callable: 32 REST methods and 2 HTTP streams |
| Documented definitions | 168/168 typed contracts |
| Variants | 503 scalar enum values and 55 tagged order, request, and transaction variants tested locally |
| Environments | Paired Practice and Live REST and stream hosts |
| Runtime and credentials | Caller-owned Tokio runtime and injected bearer token |
| Authenticated validation | Three read-only Practice probes and one temporary limit-order creation/cancellation probe passed on 2026-09-25; no Live environment testing |
The exhaustive coverage ledger names each operation and definition, its source URL, public method or type, and local test. The coverage notes explain the website/OpenAPI differences, the offline CI check, and the rejection-evidence contract. The LAW-INVARIANT audit records the semantic review of fabricated fallbacks and swallowed failures, with a disposition for every candidate.
Installation
Or add the current major release directly:

= "1"
The complete public API is available on docs.rs.
The crate uses Rust edition 2024 and exposes capability modules for accounts, orders, trades, positions, transactions, pricing, instruments, transport, and primitives.
Quick start
The caller obtains and stores the token. The library does not read .env files or discover
credentials from ambient process state.
use ;
async
This is the runnable read-only Practice example. With those two
environment variables set, run cargo run --example practice_account. Select
Environment::Live only after validating the application and its account reconciliation flow.
API and transport
- Account details, summary, instruments, configuration, and changes are available alongside order, trade, position, transaction, candle, and pricing methods. Responses include typed provider fields, typed rejection bodies, request IDs, and pagination metadata where documented.
- A definitive rejection reports only what OANDA sent. Its
codeandmessageareNonewhen OANDA supplied no readable reason, and its typedbodyis aSupplied<T>that separates a body OANDA did not send from one that arrived and could not be decoded. The client never invents a reason. Upgrading from an earlier build:Rejected::messageandError::Provider::messageare nowOption<String>,Rejected::bodyisSupplied<R>, andacknowledge_reconciliationreturnsResult— match arms and acknowledgement call sites need updating. A response'srequest_idandnext_pageare likewiseSupplied:Undecodedmeans OANDA offered a value this client could not read, which is a different fact from no value being offered. - Prices, units, balances, and other financial values use exact
rust_decimal::Decimalvalues parsed from OANDA decimal strings. Price-bucket liquidity also accepts JSON numbers exactly. Required and optional financial fields reject nonrepresentable coefficient/scale values during deserialization rather than rounding them. Provider IDs and timestamps have dedicated types. - REST response bodies are bounded. Clients built with the same
Admissionowner share local rate admission and provider cooldown, which honours bothRetry-Afterforms RFC 9110 defines. Clones also share that owner. Requests are single-attempt; a mutation is never automatically retried. - An ambiguous mutation fences further mutations for its account across client clones. Read OANDA
account and transaction state before calling
acknowledge_reconciliation, which reports whether it released the fence. - Pricing and transaction streams use HTTP/1.1, including when a consumer enables HTTP/2 on reqwest through Cargo feature unification. REST protocol negotiation is independent. The streams are incremental and newline-delimited, with typed heartbeats. Records are bounded individually by a local hostile-input limit of 1 MiB, and the buffered backlog by a local cap of 16 MiB that ends the generation explicitly rather than evicting records already accepted. HTTP chunk segmentation is a transport read, not a provider record boundary, so a large chunk carrying many valid records is processed in order rather than rejected, and buffered records are never evicted for a slow caller. Malformed or oversized records, timeouts, and connection loss end that stream generation and require caller-owned recovery. The library does not reconnect or maintain account and price projections.
- OANDA's pricing stream is sampled at most four prices per second per instrument. It does not carry every price update.
Read SECURITY.md before handling credentials or mutations. The behaviour guide explains OANDA and SDK behaviour that matters when wrapping this client: account modes, limits, stream recovery, closes and stated PnL.
Optional exit reserve
The outer wrapper opts in and sizes the reserve for its workload. The default is zero.
ClientBuilder::exit_reserve(R) sets the initial policy for a private owner;
Client::set_exit_reserve(R) or Admission::set_exit_reserve(R)
replaces it at runtime, and zero releases the reserve. It keeps R requests inside the local
120-request rolling one-second REST window: ordinary requests enter below 120 - R, and eligible exits
enter below 120. R must be less than 120. OANDA's Development Guide
states a hard 120 REST requests/s limit per requesting IP; its Best Practices
separately recommend 100 requests/s on an established connection. The owner admits the full
documented limit; a caller can choose additional pacing when following that recommendation.
| Operation | Admission |
|---|---|
cancel_order, close_trade, close_position |
Can consume reserved request capacity |
| Reads, placement, replacement, account configuration and other REST mutations | Ordinary capacity |
| All REST requests | Same aggregate window and provider cooldown across clients sharing an owner |
| Stream starts | Independent of the REST window; require an active stream lease and connector admission |
For example, a wrapper can pass its chosen reserve when constructing its shared client:
use ;
The configuration and runtime changes are exercised by the credential-free
configuration example: cargo run --example exit_reserve.
The example's number is illustrative, not a sizing recommendation. Share clones for reads and
exits. To share admission across separately built credentials using the same caller-selected egress
scope, pass one credential-free owner to both builders:
use ;
An explicit builder reserve must equal the injected owner's current reserve or construction fails; omitting it preserves that policy and all spent capacity. One outer coordinator owns this shared policy: serialized updates replace the previous value, with the last update winning; they are not additive leases or promised permits. Every REST admission attempt reads the current policy. A change wakes waiting reads so they can reconsider capacity immediately. Changes never refund requests, reset timestamps, clear cooldowns or revoke admitted attempts. Raising the reserve after the aggregate budget is spent creates no new exit capacity; releasing it restores ordinary access only to unspent capacity. Each owner also shares 20 active or opening stream leases, following the Development Guide's per-IP stream limit. There is no extra stream-start gap and streams do not consume REST request capacity. Dropping or canceling a stream releases its lease. Independently constructed owners and separate processes do not share these counters; the caller chooses which traffic shares an egress scope.
Both REST and stream transports use one owner-scoped connector-start budget: at most two connector invocations begin in any rolling second. The budget records each start without waiting for the connection to complete; failure or cancellation after a start does not refund it. Cancellation before a start consumes none. Reusing an established HTTP connection does not enter the gate. OANDA's Development Guide limits new connections to 2/s; the Best Practices page also recommends 2/s. This is local pacing of connector operations, not a hard limit on raw TCP attempts: DNS address fallback and connection racing inside a connector can make more than one attempt. REST admission occurs before any connector wait, so it does not claim exact wire-arrival pacing or prevent every possible HTTP 429. The caller remains responsible for coordinating other processes and traffic on the same egress address.
[!IMPORTANT] This is finite shared capacity, not an exclusive or unlimited Flatten allowance. Provider cooldown, the aggregate limit, account reconciliation fences and in-flight mutation exclusion still apply to exits. A mutation refused by local request-budget admission returns
Error::RateLimitedimmediately without a wire attempt. An admitted mutation may wait for bounded transport establishment, then makes one send with no automatic retry. An uncertain post-send result fences that account until caller-acknowledged reconciliation. Reads and stream starts can wait for connector capacity. Stream leases and connector pacing are shared only within one owner. Trading state, reserve sizing, account selection and recovery remain the outer wrapper's work.
Testing status
The badges distinguish deterministic test results, documented API coverage, and dated
Practice observations. The successful CI run on 2026-10-15
at commit 4f2109b
passed 78 Rust tests and left 3 live probes ignored. The current
local suite passes 78 credential-free Rust tests with 3 live probes ignored. The static
test-count badge records the local suite; it is not a count of operations or authenticated venue
tests.
| Evidence | Verified scope | Result and date |
|---|---|---|
| Credential-free Rust tests | Unit and synthetic loopback tests, including the checks below | 78 passed locally on 2026-10-15; 3 live probes ignored. The linked 2026-10-15 CI run passed the same 78 tests. |
| Coverage ledger | 32 REST operations, 2 streams and 168 named definitions | 32/32 operations and 168/168 definitions marked tested by the offline ledger check in that run |
| Authenticated read-only Practice probes | Account list and summary, EUR/USD pricing, and one record from each stream | 3 passed on 2026-09-25, as recorded in the probe notes |
| Practice observations while building an integration | Order fills in both account modes, stream open behaviour and timing, transaction-stream fill and replace events, P/L precision | Recorded October 2026 with per-fact source tags in the behaviour guide; small-sample observations, untested on Live |
| One-off Practice mutation probe | One-unit EUR/USD limit-order creation, pending state and cancellation, with stream updates | Passed on 2026-09-25; temporary probe source removed |
| Live environment | Authenticated Live requests and trading | Not tested |
The deterministic tests exercise these SDK behaviors without credentials:
| Behavior | Evidence |
|---|---|
| REST success and rejection contracts | Operation matrix: method, path, query, headers and mutation bodies for all 32 REST operations |
| Provider definitions and variants | Definition fixtures, scalar enums and tagged variants: 168 definitions, 503 enum values and 55 tagged variants |
| Financial precision | Decimal fixtures: exact strings and numeric liquidity, with nonrepresentable values refused |
| Stream delivery and failure | Client contract tests and stream unit tests: fragmentation, heartbeats, malformed and oversized records, backlog bounds and HTTP/1.1 |
| Exit reserve and runtime changes | Client contract tests and client unit tests: shared-clone admission, cancel/trade-close/position-close capacity, runtime replacement and release, spent capacity and provider cooldown |
| Cross-client transport admission | Admission scope tests and admission unit tests: different credentials share stream leases, connector pacing and cooldown; established socket reuse, cancellation and independent owners |
| Mutation uncertainty and rejection evidence | Client contract tests: single-attempt exits, account fences after ambiguous replies or timeouts, and supplied versus absent or undecodable provider evidence |
These local checks do not extend the dated Practice results to all operations, runtime reserve changes, or Live trading. The SDK leaves account projections, reconciliation decisions and stream recovery to its caller.
Normal CI needs no OANDA credentials. It runs formatting, Clippy, tests, documentation, package verification, dependency and license checks, full-history secret scanning, and the offline coverage check on Rust 1.95. Clippy uses pedantic warnings as errors. The manual release-readiness workflow repeats the Rust, coverage, and supply-chain checks, checks the requested version, and runs a crates.io publish dry run; it does not publish a release. Dependabot checks Cargo and GitHub Actions updates weekly. The 32 REST methods have deterministic loopback success and rejection fixtures, including method, URL, query, header, and mutation-body checks. Both streams have local framing, heartbeat, error, and gap tests. These tests establish the documented wire surface; they do not establish behavior against an authenticated OANDA account.
Weekly and manually dispatched CI also check the public OANDA release notes for versions beyond
the last reviewed baseline, initially 3.0.25. Newer versions and
fetch/parsing failures fail the dedicated job with an actionable summary. PR and push runs test
the checker offline. See release-note monitoring
for the review and baseline-update procedure.
Ignored, explicitly armed read-only Practice probes cover representative REST queries and both streams:
OANDA_READ_ONLY_PROBE=I_ACCEPT_READ_ONLY_PRACTICE \
OANDA_TOKEN=... OANDA_ACCOUNT_ID=... \
All three read-only Practice probes passed on 2026-09-25. A separate, temporary probe placed a
one-unit EUR/USD limit order well below the current bid, observed a price and heartbeat on the
pricing stream, received creation and cancellation updates on the transaction stream, and verified
the order's final state was CANCELLED. The temporary probe was removed; no mutation probe runs in
CI or remains in this repository. See coverage and contract drift for the
reviewed source and verification details.
Contributor build cache
Kache is optional for local builds. Use the pinned version 1.0.0. GitHub-hosted CI uses the repository's Rust cache setup without Kache. Start with the official Kache quick start, configuration reference and CI guide.
From the repository root, enable it for the current shell:
Run the repository's usual Cargo quality commands after this setup. .kache.toml defines the reviewed policy:
| Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
local_only = true |
Disable Kache remote backends and the planner |
deferred_discovery = false |
Hash discovered inputs before compilation |
modified_input_guard = true |
Reject inputs newer than the build start |
key_salt |
Isolate entries under this discovery policy |
gc_max_age_hours = 48 |
Use Kache GC for age retention |
KACHE_VERIFY_RESTORES=always |
Verify restored blob checksums |
[!IMPORTANT] Keep source files unchanged while a build runs; use a separate checkout for concurrent edits. The input guard and checksum verification do not establish cache-key correctness for arbitrary edits during compilation. Cargo can reuse already-fresh outputs without calling Kache, so investigate a suspect result in a fresh target directory with the wrapper disabled:
CARGO_TARGET_DIR="" RUSTC_WRAPPER=
Inspect reuse with kache stats --last-build, kache explain and kache doctor.
For persistent local setup, kache init --check previews Cargo configuration
changes before kache init applies them. Environment variables take precedence
over the repository file; retain the policy above and restart any existing daemon
when changing its environment, as described in the configuration reference.
CI build cache
GitHub-hosted Rust jobs use Swatinem/rust-cache to persist Cargo build outputs
and downloaded dependencies. Kache is used only when a contributor opts into
local builds with the setup above. CI retains its existing quality gates and
runner selections.
