/v1/order/new

If you wish orders to be automatically cancelled when your session ends, see the require heartbeat section, or manually send the cancel all session orders message.

Master API keys do not support cancelation on disconnect via heartbeat.

Enabled for perpetuals accounts from July 10th, 0100hrs ET onwards.

Roles

The API key you use to access this endpoint must have the Trader role assigned. See Roles for more information.

The OAuth scope must have orders:create assigned to access this endpoint. See OAuth Scopes for more information.

Margin Orders

Set margin_order: true to place an order using borrowed funds on a margin-enabled account. This allows you to trade with leverage beyond your available balance.

Important: Margin trading amplifies both gains and losses. Monitor your account using the Margin Account Summary endpoint and preview order impacts with Order Preview before placing margin orders.

Stop-Limit Orders

A Stop-Limit order is an order type that allows for order placement when a price reaches a specified level. Stop-Limit orders take in both a price and and a stop_price as parameters. The stop_price is the price that triggers the order to be placed on the continous live order book at the price. For buy orders, the stop_price must be below the price while sell orders require the stop_price to be greater than the price.

What about market orders?

The API doesn't directly support market orders because they provide you with no price protection.

Instead, use the “immediate-or-cancel” order execution option, coupled with an aggressive limit price (i.e. very high for a buy order or very low for a sell order), to achieve the same result.

Order execution options

Note that options is an array. If you omit options or provide an empty array, your order will be a standard limit order - it will immediately fill against any open orders at an equal or better price, then the remainder of the order will be posted to the order book.

If you specify more than one option (or an unsupported option) in the options array, the exchange will reject your order.

No options can be applied to stop-limit orders at this time.

The available limit order options are:

Option	Description
`"maker-or-cancel"`	This order will only add liquidity to the order book. If any part of the order could be filled immediately, the whole order will instead be canceled before any execution occurs. If that happens, the response back from the API will indicate that the order has already been canceled (`"is_cancelled": true` in JSON). Note: some other exchanges call this option "post-only".
`"immediate-or-cancel"`	This order will only remove liquidity from the order book. It will fill whatever part of the order it can immediately, then cancel any remaining amount so that no part of the order is added to the order book. If the order doesn't fully fill immediately, the response back from the API will indicate that the order has already been canceled (`"is_cancelled": true` in JSON).
`"fill-or-kill"`	This order will only remove liquidity from the order book. It will fill the entire order immediately or cancel. If the order doesn't fully fill immediately, the response back from the API will indicate that the order has already been canceled (`"is_cancelled": true` in JSON).

Cancel Order

POST

https://api.gemini.com

/v1/order/cancel

This will cancel an order. If the order is already canceled, the message will succeed but have no effect.

Enabled for perpetuals accounts from July 10th, 0100hrs ET onwards.

Roles

The API key you use to access this endpoint must have the Trader role assigned. See Roles for more information.

The OAuth scope must have orders:create assigned to access this endpoint. See OAuth Scopes for more information.

All Cancellation Reasons

Under unique circumstances, orders may be automatically cancelled by the exchange. These scenarios are detailed in the table below:

Cancel Reason	Description
`MakerOrCancelWouldTake`	Occurs when the "maker-or-cancel" execution option is included in the order request and any part of the requested order could be filled immediately.
`ExceedsPriceLimits`	Occurs when there is not sufficient liquidity on the order book to support the entered trade. Orders will be automatically cancelled when liquidity conditions are such that the order would move price +/- 5%.
`SelfCrossPrevented`	Occurs when a user enters a bid that is higher than that user's lowest open ask or enters an ask that is lower than their highest open bid on the same pair.
`ImmediateOrCancelWouldPost`	Occurs when the "immediate-or-cancel" execution option is included in the order request and the requested order cannot be fully filled immediately. This type of cancellation will only cancel the unfulfilled part of any impacted order.
`FillOrKillWouldNotFill`	Occurs when the "fill-or-kill" execution option is included in the new order request and the entire order cannot be filled immediately. Unlike "immediate-or-cancel" orders, this execution option will result in the entire order being cancelled rather than just the unfulfilled portion.
`Requested`	Cancelled via user request to /v1/order/cancel endpoint.
`MarketClosed`	Occurs when an order is placed for a trading pair that is currently closed.
`TradingClosed`	Occurs when an order is placed while the exchange is closed for trading.

POST

https://api.gemini.com

/v1/orders/history

This API retrieves (closed) orders history for an account.

Roles

The API key you use to access this endpoint must have the Trader or Auditor role assigned. See Roles for more information.

The OAuth scope must have history:read assigned to access this endpoint. See OAuth Scopes for more information.

How to retrieve your order history

To retrieve your full order history walking backwards,

Initial request: POST to https://api.gemini.com/v1/orders/history with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value 0 and a limit_orders key with value 500
When you receive the list of orders, it will be sorted by timestamp descending - so the first element in the list will have the highest timestamp value. For this example, say that value is X.
Create a second POST request with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value X+1 and a limit_orders key with value 500.
Take the first element of the list returned with highest timestamp value Y and create a third POST request with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value Y+1 and a limit_orders key with value 500.
Continue creating POST requests and retrieving orders until an empty list is returned.

Break Types

In the rare event that a trade has been reversed (broken), the trade that is broken will have this flag set. The field will contain one of these values

Value	Description
manual	The trade was reversed manually. This means that all fees, proceeds, and debits associated with the trade have been credited or debited to the account seperately. That means that this reported trade must be included for order for the account balance to be correct.
full	The trade was fully broken. The reported trade should not be accounted for. It will be as though the transfer of fund associated with the trade had simply not happened.

/v1/mytrades

Gemini recommends using our WebSocket Order Events API to be notified when a trade executes on your account instead of polling this endpoint.

Under the terms of the Gemini API Agreement, polling this endpoint may be subject to rate limiting.

Enabled for perpetuals accounts from July 10th, 0100hrs ET onwards. Trade info for all perpetuals orders submitted prior to this timing, will not be available through this API.

Roles

The API key you use to access this endpoint must have the Trader or Auditor role assigned. See Roles for more information.

The OAuth scope must have history:read assigned to access this endpoint. See OAuth Scopes for more information.

How to retrieve your trade history

To retrieve your full trade history walking backwards,

Initial request: POST to https://api.gemini.com/v1/mytrades with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value 0 and a limit_trades key with value 500
When you receive the list of trades, it will be sorted by timestamp descending - so the first element in the list will have the highest timestamp value. For this example, say that value is X.
Create a second POST request with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value X+1 and a limit_trades key with value 500.
Take the first element of the list returned with highest timestamp value Y and create a third POST request with a JSON payload including a timestamp key with value Y+1 and a limit_trades key with value 500.
Continue creating POST requests and retrieving trades until an empty list is returned.

Break Types

In the rare event that a trade has been reversed (broken), the trade that is broken will have this flag set. The field will contain one of these values

Value	Description
manual	The trade was reversed manually. This means that all fees, proceeds, and debits associated with the trade have been credited or debited to the account seperately. That means that this reported trade must be included for order for the account balance to be correct.
full	The trade was fully broken. The reported trade should not be accounted for. It will be as though the transfer of fund associated with the trade had simply not happened.
