types
enum<string>[]

Order types to target. Valid values: "spot" — standard spot orders. "margin" — marginal orders placed on spot markets. Note: the "margin" value is not the same as the collateral account balance; "collateral" in other endpoints refers to the funding account, whereas "margin" here refers specifically to the order type. "futures" — marginal orders placed on futures markets (e.g., BTC_PERP). If omitted, the API targets all order types.

Available options:
spot,
margin,
futures
Example:
["spot", "margin"]
request
string
Example:

"{{request}}"

nonce
string
Example:

"{{nonce}}"

Response
