Problem

Summary
When making a POST call to https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders

I get zero results. Note that the other APIs besides this one work fine for me.
I can get a order if I pass the ID of a known order.
However, trying to get all orders, closed orders, active orders, etc. returns zero results.

Paper or Live Trading?
Paper

Example Code

https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders

Headers:
APCA-API-KEY-ID *******************
APCA-API-SECRET-KEY *******************

Body:
{
“status”: “all”
}

Thanks,

The API to get a list of all orders is

GET https://paper-api.alpaca.markets/v2/orders?status=all

You may not have been getting anything (excuse the pun) because you have a POST command? Additionally, the default is to return only open orders. To verify it’s working, perhaps add the status=all parameter to return closed orders too.

Thank you! For some reason I interrupted the documentation that this should be in the body not in the params.
