Orders

Introduction

Read out the orders of a live algorithm.

Request

Fetch the orders of a live algorithm for the project Id and steps provided. The /live/orders/read API accepts requests in the following format:

ReadLiveOrdersRequest Model - Request to read orders from a live algorithm.
start integer
Starting index of the orders to be fetched. Required if end > 100.
end integer
Last index of the orders to be fetched. Note that end - start must be less than 100.
projectId integer
Id of the project from which to read the live algorithm.
Example 
{
  "start": 0,
  "end": 0,
  "projectId": 0
}

Responses

The /live/orders/read API provides a response in the following format:

200 Success
