Trade API covers all order placement and trade management.

Order Status

Below is the list of possible order status values:

  • New
  • Placed
  • Failed
  • Error
  • Cancelled
  • Partially Cancelled
  • Fully Matched
  • Partially Matched

Number Conversion

All numbers, specifically for price and volume, must be converted to an integer for use in Trading API requests. The conversion is 100000000, or 1E8. For strongly typed programming languages, use of integer or long integer variable types is strongly recommended, as decimals will not be accepted by the API.

Create an order

path: /order/create

http post

Please note:

  • The clientRequestId is not currently used but must be specified. Any string is valid.
  • Price of $130 = 13000000000 (i.e x 100000000)
  • Volume of 1 BTC = 100000000 (i.e x 100000000)
  • When passing AUD as currency, maximum 2 decimal points are allowed. In above example, $130 and $130.12 are allowed but $130.123 will return "invalid amount".
  • All parameters are mandatory for this API.
  • In case of placing Market orders, price is still required, however the price is ultimately set by matching engine depending on existing orders in the orderbook at the time of trade execution.

sample request:

{"currency":"AUD","instrument":"BTC","price":13000000000,"volume":10000000,"orderSide":"Bid","ordertype":"Limit","clientRequestId":"abc-cdf-1000"}

sample success response:

{"success":true,"errorCode":null,"errorMessage":null,"id":100,"clientRequestId":"abc-cdf-1000"}

sample error response

{"success":false,"errorCode":3,"errorMessage":"Invalid argument.","id":0,"clientRequestId":"abc-cdf-1000"}

Cancel an order

path: /order/cancel

http post

sample request:

{"orderIds":[6840125478]}

sample response:

{"success":true,"errorCode":null,"errorMessage":null,"responses":[{"success":false,"errorCode":3,"errorMessage":"order does not exist.","id":6840125478}]}

Order history

path: /order/history

http post

since parameter for this api method is the order id.

sample request:

{"currency":"AUD","instrument":"BTC","limit":10,"since":33434568724}

sample response:

{"success":true,"errorCode":null,"errorMessage":null,"orders":[{"id":1003245675,"currency":"AUD","instrument":"BTC","orderSide":"Bid","ordertype":"Limit","creationTime":1378862733366,"status":"Placed","errorMessage":null,"price":13000000000,"volume":10000000,"openVolume":10000000,"clientRequestId":null,"trades":[]},{"id":4345675,"currency":"AUD","instrument":"BTC","orderSide":"Ask","ordertype":"Limit","creationTime":1378636912705,"status":"Fully Matched","errorMessage":null,"price":13000000000,"volume":10000000,"openVolume":0,"clientRequestId":null,"trades":[{"id":5345677,"creationTime":1378636913151,"description":null,"price":13000000000,"volume":10000000,"fee":100000}]}]}

Open Orders

path: /order/open

http post

This is similar to the order history request and response. The only difference is that this method only returns open orders.

Trade History

path: /order/trade/history

http post

since parameter for this api method is the trade id.

sample request:

{"currency":"AUD","instrument":"BTC","limit":10,"since":33434568724}

sample response:

{"success":true,"errorCode":null,"errorMessage":null,"trades":[{"id":374367855,"creationTime":1492232900701,"price":159672000000,"volume":100000,"side":"Ask","fee":1357210,"orderId":374367838},{"id":229485482,"creationTime":1478837751322,"price":94299000000,"volume":100000,"side":"Bid","fee":801540,"orderId":229485469}]}

Order detail

path: /order/detail

http post

sample request:

{"orderIds":[698068, 698771, 698825]}

The value(s) for orderIds must always be in the format of an array, even if only one ID is included.
