macOS arm64

Install

curl -fsSL https://marketlab.sh/install.sh | sh

Install a specific version:

curl -fsSL https://marketlab.sh/install.sh | sh -s -- v0.0.1

MMT Market Data

Get an API key from Market Monkey Terminal

mlab auth set mmt

Market Lab stores the key in the operating system keychain. Use MMT_API_KEY only for CI or other non-interactive environments.

BULK Market Catalog

Inspect the BULK market catalog without credentials or a network request:

mlab markets --provider bulk
mlab markets --provider bulk --symbol BTC/USDT

Public BULK market data also works without credentials:

mlab health --provider bulk
mlab source orderbook --provider bulk --symbol BTC/USDT --depth 20

BULK Agent Wallet

Market Lab can prepare an authorized BULK agent wallet:

mlab auth set bulk

The command generates the agent locally, stores it in the operating system keychain, and asks for the main wallet private key through a hidden prompt to authorize the agent. Market Lab does not store the main wallet private key.

Check both credential integrations:

mlab auth status

Market Lab order execution is not available yet. See BULK Provider for market-data behavior, catalog rules, agent setup, retry, removal, and security behavior.
