Orders

All order endpoints require authentication. See Authentication.

Rate limit: v1-auth: 120 req / 60 s per IP

Sell-order inversion. Internally, a YES sell at price P is stored as a NO buy at price 100 - P. The API always returns orders in the user-facing form you submitted: side and price reflect what you intended, not what is stored.

GET /api/v1/orders

Lists your orders. Up to 200 orders are returned per call (no pagination cursor; use status to narrow the result).

Auth: Required

Field	Type	Description
`id`	UUID string	Order identifier
`userId`	UUID string	Your user id
`marketId`	UUID string	Market the order is on
`marketTitle`	string	Market title (for display)
`side`	`"yes"` \| `"no"`	Side you are buying or selling
`price`	integer	Your order price (1–99) in user-facing form
`quantity`	integer	Total shares ordered
`filledQuantity`	integer	Shares already matched
`status`	string	`scheduled` \| `open` \| `partially_filled` \| `filled` \| `cancelled`
`orderType`	`"buy"` \| `"sell"`	Order type
`cancelReason`	string \| null	Why it was cancelled; null if not cancelled
`expiresAt`	ISO 8601 \| null	Expiry time; null = Good Until Cancelled
`releaseAt`	ISO 8601 \| null	When a `scheduled` live order becomes eligible for matching; null for orders that were never scheduled
`releaseInMs`	integer \| null	Remaining live delay computed by the server. Use this duration for countdowns instead of subtracting client wall-clock time from `releaseAt`
`budgetCents`	integer \| null	Persisted budget for a scheduled budget buy; null for quantity orders and after release
`createdAt`	ISO 8601	When the order was placed
`sharesAhead`	integer	Shares ahead of this order in the queue

POST /api/v1/orders

Places a new order. On a non-live market, the matching engine runs before the response. On a live event market, the server accepts the order as scheduled and delays matching by the configured live-order delay (normally 3 seconds).

Field	Type	Required	Description
`marketId`	UUID	Yes	Target market
`side`	`"yes"` \| `"no"`	Yes	Side to buy or sell
`price`	integer 1–99 \| null	Conditional	Limit price. Required for buy orders without `budgetCents`. For market-sell orders set to `null`.
`quantity`	integer 1–10000	Conditional	Shares to trade. Required for sell orders and buy orders without `budgetCents`.
`budgetCents`	integer > 0	Conditional	EUR-cent budget for market-buy orders. Mutually exclusive with `quantity`.
`orderType`	`"buy"` \| `"sell"`	No	Default `"buy"`
`idempotencyKey`	UUID	No	Supply the same UUID to safely retry without double-placing. Valid for 24 hours.
`expiresAt`	ISO 8601 datetime	No	When the order auto-cancels. Must be in the future. Omit for Good Till Cancelled.
`postOnly`	boolean	No	Default `false`. When `true`, reject rather than execute as a taker if the order would cross at matching time. Incompatible with budget buys and market sells.

Buy orders: supply exactly one of quantity or budgetCents.
Sell orders: supply quantity. Set price = null for a market sell (fills at any available bid).

Field	Type	Description
`order`	object	The placed order in user-facing form
`fills`	array	Trades generated by this order (may be empty if no matching liquidity)
`cancelledOrders`	array	Orders cancelled as a side effect of this match (e.g. resting orders cancelled due to insufficient funds, expired orders, or overextended sell positions)
`balance.total`	integer	Your EUR-cent balance after the transaction
`balance.available`	integer	Currently always equal to `total`; reserved for a future margin model
`feeCents`	integer \| null	Taker fee charged for this order, in EUR-cents. `0` if nothing filled. `null` on idempotent replay. See Fees.

balance.total already reflects the fee, so for a buy: spent = price × quantity + feeCents.

Live-market scheduled response

On a live event market, 201 means the order was accepted, not filled. The response has no fills or fee, the balance is unchanged, and the pending order is not visible in public depth:


{
  "order": {
    "id": "d4e5f6a7-b8c9-0123-def0-234567890123",
    "userId": "e5f6a7b8-c9d0-1234-ef01-345678901234",
    "marketId": "b2c3d4e5-f6a7-8901-bcde-f12345678901",
    "side": "yes",
    "price": 55,
    "quantity": 100,
    "filledQuantity": 0,
    "status": "scheduled",
    "orderType": "buy",
    "cancelReason": null,
    "expiresAt": null,
    "releaseAt": "2026-01-15T14:32:03.000Z",
    "releaseInMs": 3000,

  "balance": {

  },
  "feeCents": null
}

At releaseAt, the engine validates the order again and matches it against the current book, not the submission-time snapshot. Limit-price protection still applies. The final status may be open, partially_filled, filled, or cancelled; release-time cancellation reasons include changed funds/position, market closure, trading pause, self-trade, post-only crossing, responsible-gaming limits, and insufficient liquidity for a budget buy.

Connect to GET /api/v1/user/stream for order_pending and order_released events, or poll this endpoint with status=scheduled/status=all. Cancelling a scheduled order is immediate.

An idempotent retry returns the original order’s authoritative current status. While it is still scheduled, releaseInMs is the actual remaining time; retrying does not restart the delay or emit another order_pending event.

Status code: 201 on new order, 200 on idempotent replay.

Errors

Status	Body	When
`400`	`{ "error": "...", "code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE" }`	Not enough balance or position
`400`	`{ "error": "...", "code": "INSUFFICIENT_LIQUIDITY" }`	Budget buy with no matching liquidity
`400`	`{ "error": "...", "code": "SELF_TRADE_BLOCKED" }`	The order would match your own resting order on the opposite side. Cancel or amend that order first.
`400`	`{ "error": "Market is not open for trading" }`	Market status is not `open`
`400`	`{ "error": "Market not found" }`	Unknown `marketId`
`503`	`{ "error": "...", "code": "CONFLICT_RETRY" }`	Transient lock conflict. Safe to retry.

PATCH /api/v1/orders/:id

Amends a scheduled, open, or partially-filled order. You can change price, quantity, or both.

Auth: Required

Path parameters

Param	Type	Description
`id`	UUID	Order to amend (must belong to you)

Request body

Supply at least one field:


{
  "price": 60,
  "quantity": 80
}

Field	Type	Description
`price`	integer 1–99	New limit price in user-facing form
`quantity`	integer 1–10000	New total quantity (must be ≥ filled quantity)

Amendment rules:

Quantity decrease only: amended in place, queue position preserved.
Price change or quantity increase: cancel-replace: the resting order is cancelled and a new order is placed at the new price/quantity. Queue position is lost; outside the live-delay path, the new order is re-matched immediately.
Any change to a scheduled order: cancel-replace and start a fresh live-delay window.
Live-market reprice or quantity increase: the replacement becomes scheduled; it is not matched immediately.

Response

Quantity decrease only (in-place, queue position preserved):

DELETE /api/v1/orders/:id

Cancels a resting or scheduled order. Cancellation is immediate and never waits for the live-order delay. Open buy orders do not reserve balance, so the cancel leaves your balance unchanged. Balance changes only when an order fills.
