🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libsimdjson-dev libssl-dev libgtest-dev

# macOS
brew install boost simdjson openssl googletest

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S boost simdjson openssl gtest

Installation

git clone https://github.com/your-org/oqdTradierpp.git
cd oqdTradierpp
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
sudo cmake --install build

Basic Usage

#include <oqdTradierpp/oqdTradierpp.hpp>
using namespace oqd;

int main() {
    // Initialize the library
    initialize_library();
    
    // Create client
    auto client = create_client(Environment::Sandbox);
    client->set_access_token("your_token_here");
    auto api = create_api_methods(client);
    
    // Get account information
    auto profile = api->get_user_profile();
    std::cout << "User: " << profile.name << " (ID: " << profile.id << ")" << std::endl;
    
    // Get real-time quotes
    auto quotes = api->get_quotes({"AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOGL"});
    for (const auto& quote : quotes) {
        std::cout << quote.symbol << " - Last: $" << quote.last 
                  << " Bid/Ask: $" << quote.bid << "/$" << quote.ask << std::endl;
    }
    
    cleanup_library();
    return 0;
}

Real-time Streaming

#include <oqdTradierpp/oqdTradierpp.hpp>
using namespace oqd;

int main() {
    initialize_library();
    
    auto client = create_client(Environment::Production);
    client->set_access_token("your_production_token");
    
    // Create streaming session
    auto streaming = std::make_shared<StreamingSession>(client);
    
    // Set up data callback
    auto data_callback = [](const simdjson::dom::element& data) {
        auto type = StreamingSession::determine_data_type_static(data);
        if (type == StreamingDataType::Quote) {
            auto quote = Quote::from_json(data);
            std::cout << quote.symbol << " - Bid: $" << quote.bid 
                      << " Ask: $" << quote.ask << std::endl;
        } else if (type == StreamingDataType::Trade) {
            auto trade = Trade::from_json(data);
            std::cout << trade.symbol << " - Price: $" << trade.last 
                      << " Volume: " << trade.volume << std::endl;
        }
    };
    
    auto error_callback = [](const std::string& error) {
        std::cerr << "Streaming error: " << error << std::endl;
    };
    
    // Start WebSocket stream for quotes and trades
    std::vector<std::string> symbols = {"AAPL", "TSLA", "SPY"};
    streaming->start_market_websocket_stream(symbols, data_callback, error_callback);
    
    // Keep running...
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::minutes(5));
    
    streaming->stop_stream();
    cleanup_library();
    return 0;
}
