GetTradeOffers (v1)

This API gets a list of trade offers (up to a maximum of 500 sent or 1000 received regardless of time_historical_cutoff) for the account associated with the WebAPI key. You cannot call this API for accounts other than your own.

Input

Either get_sent_offers or get_received_offers (or both) must be set. active_only and historical_only are optional, if neither is passed it is equivalent to both being set.

• historical_only - return trade offers that are not in an active state.
• time_historical_cutoff - a unix time value. when active_only is set, inactive offers will be returned if their state was updated since this time. Useful to get delta updates on what has changed. WARNING: If not passed, this will default to the time your account last viewed the trade offers page. To avoid this behavior use a very low or very high date.

Output
