Trading on Coinbase International Exchange (INTX) is conducted through the Orders API. This guide covers order creation, management, modification, and cancellation workflows.

​
Creating an Order

Use Create Order to place trades. Each order requires an instrument, side, size, type, and time-in-force specification. 
import uuid
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import CreateOrderRequest
from intx_sdk.enums import OrderSide, OrderType, TimeInForce

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

request = CreateOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    client_order_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    instrument="BTC-PERP",
    side=OrderSide.BUY.value,
    size="0.1",
    type=OrderType.LIMIT.value,
    price="50000",
    tif=TimeInForce.GTC.value
)

response = client.orders.create_order(request)
print(response)

​
Limit Order Example

request = CreateOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    client_order_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    instrument="ETH-PERP",
    side=OrderSide.BUY.value,
    size="1.0",
    type=OrderType.LIMIT.value,
    price="3000",
    tif=TimeInForce.GTC.value
)

response = client.orders.create_order(request)

​
Market Order Example

request = CreateOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    client_order_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    instrument="ETH-PERP",
    side=OrderSide.SELL.value,
    size="1.5",
    type=OrderType.MARKET.value,
    tif=TimeInForce.IOC.value
)

response = client.orders.create_order(request)

​
Stop-Limit Order Example

request = CreateOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    client_order_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    instrument="BTC-PERP",
    side=OrderSide.SELL.value,
    size="0.5",
    type=OrderType.STOP_LIMIT.value,
    stop_price="48000",
    stop_limit_price="47500",
    tif=TimeInForce.GTC.value
)

response = client.orders.create_order(request)

​
Listing Open Orders

Retrieve active orders using List Open Orders. Orders can be filtered by instrument, side, order type, and other parameters. 
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import ListOpenOrdersRequest

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

request = ListOpenOrdersRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE"
)

response = client.orders.list_open_orders(request)
print(response)

​
Getting Order Details

Retrieve details for a specific order using Get Order Details. 
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import GetOrderDetailsRequest

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

request = GetOrderDetailsRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    order_id="your-order-id"
)

response = client.orders.get_order_details(request)
print(response)

​
Modifying an Order

Modify open orders using Modify Open Order. You can adjust price, stop price, or size without cancelling and recreating the order. 
import uuid
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import ModifyOpenOrderRequest

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

request = ModifyOpenOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    id="your-order-id",
    client_order_id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
    price="51000"
)

response = client.orders.modify_open_order(request)
print(response)

​
Cancelling an Order

Cancel a single order using Cancel Order. 
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import CancelOrderRequest

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

request = CancelOrderRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    id="your-order-id"
)

response = client.orders.cancel_order(request)
print(response)

​
Cancelling Multiple Orders

Cancel multiple orders at once using Cancel Orders. This can cancel all orders or filter by instrument, side, or type. 
from intx_sdk import IntxServicesClient
from intx_sdk.services.orders import CancelOrdersRequest
from intx_sdk.enums import OrderSide

client = IntxServicesClient.from_env()

# Cancel all BUY orders for BTC-PERP
request = CancelOrdersRequest(
    portfolio="PORTFOLIO_ID_HERE",
    instrument="BTC-PERP",
    side=OrderSide.BUY.value
)

response = client.orders.cancel_orders(request)
print(response)
