When getting results back from a request to Activities…some of the results return with a side=“short_sell”, yet your API documentation clearly says Buy or Sell. Short_Sell is not defined in your API. It’s very hard to program against an inaccurate API documentation. So if “short_sell” is a possible Side type…put it in your documentation.
