The key id issued for your signing keypair.
Unix seconds at signing, valid within 30 seconds of the server clock.
Ed25519 signature of the request
Hex SHA-256 of the request body, or the SHA-256 of the empty string when there is no body.
Idempotency key for this request. Re-sending the same key with the same body returns the original result and creates no duplicate; re-sending it with a different body is rejected with 422.
1"2f1a8c4e-0b3d-4a9c-8e7f-1a2b3c4d5e6f"
Body
Kalshi market ticker that identifies the market to trade. Uppercase alphanumeric segments joined by -, with . permitted inside a segment for a decimal strike (e.g. KXBTCD-26AUG0607-T64599.99). Case-sensitive: a lowercase ticker is rejected rather than upcased, because changing it would name a different instrument than the caller asked for.
1^[A-Z0-9]+([.-][A-Z0-9]+)*$"KXPRES-2028"
Which side of the Kalshi market the contract represents.
YES, NO "YES"
Order direction against the chosen side.
BUY, SELL "BUY"
Order size in whole contracts.
x > 010
Limit price in whole cents from 1 to 99, in the traded side's own frame.
1 <= x <= 9938
Execution policy; defaults to GTC.
