Purpose and usage

What this endpoint does

Return a bounded recent execution window for one canonical venue-scoped market with duplicate matching sides collapsed.

When to use it

Call this when a market-data, trading, risk, or reconciliation client needs to reconcile the chronology and current state of market trades so it can understand market, order, trade, position, or collateral state without confusing a read model with execution authority.

OUTCOME · Reconcile

What changes

Read-only projection; it grants no mutation, settlement, traffic, or authority change.

WHY IT MATTERS

Gives people and agents a contract-backed way to reconcile market trades.
Separates decision-support and reconciliation data from the controls that admit, match, publish, or settle an order.

ISOLATION + AUTHORITY

The authenticated owner, market, order, position, matching, risk, publisher, and settlement boundaries remain distinct. Documentation, contract visibility, and read access grant no execution authority; possession of a write scope still cannot bypass market status, risk, admission, allowlist, suspension, matching, publisher, or settlement gates. Current trading, matching, prediction, ingress, publisher, allowlist, suspension, market-status, and traffic controls remain frozen unless separately approved through their controlling process.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Authenticate at the documented boundary: bearer+scope.
Supply the required market_id (path) exactly as defined by the live contract.
Resolve the current market status, owner-specific restrictions, risk posture, and applicable trading freeze before relying on this result.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Re-read the relevant market and owner-specific state before any later order or position decision, and preserve the current trading freeze.
Refresh market trades when its observation time, version, or lifecycle state is no longer adequate for the decision.

AGENT GUIDANCE

Use market trades only for the purpose and lifecycle stage described by this operation; do not treat it as authority for an adjacent action.
Supply the required market_id (path) exactly as defined by the live contract.
Distinguish market data, owner-specific restrictions, order admission, matching, fills, positions, collateral, cancellation, settlement, and finality; no one state implies another.
Use response links and canonical identifiers instead of constructing internal service URLs or scraping the website.

Market availability

Market data and catalog reads may be available while order entry is disabled. Confirm the market’s current state and your permissions before making a trading request; a production-listed route does not change market availability.

INTEGRATION DECISION

CALLER ACTION: Accept the returned representation or receipt, then re-read the relevant market and owner-specific state before any later order or position decision, and preserve the current trading freeze.
RETRY SAFETY: Repeat only when the integration needs a fresher authoritative projection.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Use returned identifiers and versions as the comparison point for later reads. Re-read market status, owner-scoped order or position state, Core collateral reservation, and settlement receipt; never treat shadow NXG evidence as authority.

401Authorization: Bearer is required, or the supplied credential is invalid.Authentication required · JSON RESPONSE+

{
  "code": "missing_credentials",
  "message": "Authorization: Bearer is required, or the supplied credential is invalid."
}

INTEGRATION DECISIONmissing_credentials

CALLER ACTION: Discard the rejected credential, complete the documented authentication or reassertion flow, and rebuild any request signature with fresh timestamps and nonces.
RETRY SAFETY: Retry only with a newly valid credential and fresh replay-protection values. Do not replay an expired signature.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Authentication failed before an authoritative read was returned for market-scoped catalog, order, trade, position, collateral, and settlement projections while Python remains authoritative.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate any ambiguous order or settlement outcome while preserving suspension and Python authority; never enable ingress, publishing, allowlists, markets, or traffic as recovery.

403The credential lacks trading:read authority.Authority or policy denied · JSON RESPONSE+

{
  "code": "insufficient_scope",
  "message": "The credential lacks trading:read authority."
}

INTEGRATION DECISIONinsufficient_scope

CALLER ACTION: Verify the exact scope, tenant or workspace membership, owner boundary, step-up purpose, feature policy, and resource eligibility. Never broaden authority automatically.
RETRY SAFETY: Do not retry until the missing authority or policy condition has been deliberately resolved with least privilege.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Confirm the caller and resource resolve to the same authority boundary for market-scoped catalog, order, trade, position, collateral, and settlement projections while Python remains authoritative.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate any ambiguous order or settlement outcome while preserving suspension and Python authority; never enable ingress, publishing, allowlists, markets, or traffic as recovery.

404The requested canonical market does not exist on the selected venue.Resource not visible · JSON RESPONSE+

{
  "code": "market_not_found",
  "message": "The requested canonical market does not exist on the selected venue."
}

INTEGRATION DECISIONmarket_not_found

CALLER ACTION: Verify the canonical identifier and authenticated owner boundary. A 404 may intentionally conceal a resource outside the caller's authority.
RETRY SAFETY: Do not retry the unchanged identifier repeatedly. Refresh the relevant collection or lookup before choosing another identifier.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Re-read market status, owner-scoped order or position state, Core collateral reservation, and settlement receipt; never treat shadow NXG evidence as authority.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate any ambiguous order or settlement outcome while preserving suspension and Python authority; never enable ingress, publishing, allowlists, markets, or traffic as recovery.

422The path identifier or venue value is not canonical.Request must change · JSON RESPONSE+

{
  "code": "invalid_market_id",
  "message": "The path identifier or venue value is not canonical."
}

INTEGRATION DECISIONinvalid_market_id

CALLER ACTION: Rebuild the request from the live OpenAPI operation and correct the rejected method, media type, header, parameter, or body field.
RETRY SAFETY: Do not retry the same invalid request. A corrected read may be sent as a new attempt.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Compare the submitted values with the documented constraints before another call. Re-read market status, owner-scoped order or position state, Core collateral reservation, and settlement receipt; never treat shadow NXG evidence as authority.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate any ambiguous order or settlement outcome while preserving suspension and Python authority; never enable ingress, publishing, allowlists, markets, or traffic as recovery.

503The authoritative venue catalog is unavailable or has not been configured.Dependency unavailable or outcome uncertain · JSON RESPONSE+

{
  "code": "market_data_unavailable",
  "message": "The authoritative venue catalog is unavailable or has not been configured."
}

INTEGRATION DECISIONmarket_data_unavailable

CALLER ACTION: Treat the failure as transient and preserve the last known good representation without presenting it as fresh.
RETRY SAFETY: Retry with bounded exponential backoff and jitter; stop after the integration's failure budget is exhausted.
STATE RECONCILIATION: Re-read market status, owner-scoped order or position state, Core collateral reservation, and settlement receipt; never treat shadow NXG evidence as authority.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate any ambiguous order or settlement outcome while preserving suspension and Python authority; never enable ingress, publishing, allowlists, markets, or traffic as recovery.

OPERATIONAL NOTES

Security and lifecycle guarantees

This replaces V1 DEX and securities market-history responses with one typed venue-scoped projection.
The matching engine persists both sides of an execution; V2 collapses duplicate maker/taker storage rows by their common engine trade identifier.
Internal costs, fees, margin state, counterparty order identifiers, and raw order objects are never included.
The endpoint returns raw executions, not OHLC candles. Candle aggregation is a separate planned contract so interval semantics and empty buckets remain explicit.
Price and quantity are decimal strings and the response uses Cache-Control: private, max-age=5.

UPGRADING FROM V1

Legacy calls replaced by this operation

If you maintain an older integration, use this map to find the V2 replacement. Do not translate the old request field-for-field: rebuild it from the V2 parameters and schemas above because identity, authorization, replay protection, and response semantics may have changed.
