Revolut X Orders

Capabilities

• Place market orders (buy/sell by base or quote size)
• Place limit orders (with allow_taker or post_only execution)
• View active and historical orders
• Cancel individual orders or all open orders
• Pre-flight validation (pair constraints + balance check)

Authentication & setup

All endpoints require authentication. See revolut-x-auth for setup.

API versioning

All endpoints use path-based versioning: /api/1.0/. The version is included in every request path.

Common workflows

Place a market order

python scripts/revx_sign.py POST /api/1.0/orders --body '{"client_order_id":"<uuid>","symbol":"BTC-USD","side":"buy","order_configuration":{"market":{"quote_size":"500"}}}'

Place a limit order

python scripts/revx_sign.py POST /api/1.0/orders --body '{"client_order_id":"<uuid>","symbol":"BTC-USD","side":"buy","order_configuration":{"limit":{"price":"95000","base_size":"0.001","execution_instructions":["allow_taker"]}}}'

Execution instructions: allow_taker (default) or post_only (maker only — cancelled if would execute immediately).

Get active orders

python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/orders/active

With filters:

python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/orders/active --query '?symbols=BTC-USD&side=buy'

Get historical orders

python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/orders/historical --query '?start_date=START_MS&end_date=END_MS'

Max date range: 30 days.

Get order by ID

python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/orders/ORDER_UUID

Cancel an order

python scripts/revx_sign.py DELETE /api/1.0/orders/ORDER_UUID

Cancel ALL orders

python scripts/revx_sign.py DELETE /api/1.0/orders

Warning: Cancels every open limit, conditional, and TPSL order.

Pre-flight validation

Before placing any order:

1. Check pair is active and get constraints: python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/configuration/pairs (see revolut-x-configuration)
2. Check sufficient balance: python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/balances (see revolut-x-balance)
3. Verify order size meets min/max constraints

Example 1: Place a market buy

User says: "Buy $500 worth of BTC at market price"

Actions:

1. Check pair constraints: python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/configuration/pairs
2. Check USD balance: python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/balances
3. Present confirmation summary and wait for approval
4. Generate UUID for client_order_id
5. Run python scripts/revx_sign.py POST /api/1.0/orders --body '{"client_order_id":"GENERATED_UUID","symbol":"BTC-USD","side":"buy","order_configuration":{"market":{"quote_size":"500"}}}'

Result: Order placed, venue_order_id returned.

Example 2: Place a post-only limit sell

User says: "Sell 0.1 ETH at $3,500, maker only"

Actions:

1. Validate pair and balance
2. Present confirmation summary
3. Run python scripts/revx_sign.py POST /api/1.0/orders --body '{"client_order_id":"<uuid>","symbol":"ETH-USD","side":"sell","order_configuration":{"limit":{"price":"3500","base_size":"0.1","execution_instructions":["post_only"]}}}'

Result: Post-only limit order placed.

Example 3: Cancel a specific order

User says: "Cancel order abc-123"

Actions:

1. Present cancellation confirmation
2. Run python scripts/revx_sign.py DELETE /api/1.0/orders/abc-123

Result: Order cancelled.

Example 4: Review and cancel all open orders

User says: "Cancel all my orders"

Actions:

1. Run python scripts/revx_sign.py GET /api/1.0/orders/active to show current orders
2. Present the list and warn: "This will cancel ALL open orders"
3. After confirmation: python scripts/revx_sign.py DELETE /api/1.0/orders

Result: All open orders cancelled.

Error handling

Error: 400 Bad Request Cause: Invalid params, insufficient funds, or order rejected Solution: Check pair constraints, verify balance, review order parameters.

Error: 404 Not Found Cause: Invalid venue_order_id Solution: Verify the order ID from active orders or placement response.

Error: 429 Rate Limit Cause: Too many requests (or 1000 limit orders/day exceeded) Solution: Wait for Retry-After header duration, then retry.

Important notes

• NEVER place or cancel orders without explicit user confirmation. These operations move real money. Before executing, present a confirmation summary and wait for approval. Execute only after the user explicitly approves.
• For cancel-all (DELETE /api/1.0/orders), warn that this cancels every open order.
• Required parameters for every order: symbol, side, size (base_size or quote_size), order type (market or limit). If any are missing, ask — never guess.
• Limit order rate limit: 1000 placements per day
• client_order_id is for idempotency — use a unique UUID for each order
• Market orders: specify base_size OR quote_size, not both
• Symbols use dash format (BTC-USD) in requests
