Cancel every LIVE order owned by the authenticated profile for a market or market group. The required slug path parameter accepts either a market slug or a group slug. For a group, cancellation fans out across all child markets and combines their results.

Authentication and delegation

Use a scoped API token with HMAC signing and the trading scope. To cancel for a partner sub-account, add ?onBehalfOf=<subProfileId>; the target must belong to the authenticated partner and the token must also have delegated_signing. Include the query string in the HMAC-signed path.

Results

The operation is idempotent. If there are no LIVE orders to cancel, it returns 200 OK with { "message": "Orders canceled successfully" } and omits canceled.

200 OK means all matching orders were cancelled, or there were no matching LIVE orders.
207 Multi-Status returns both cancelled IDs and normalized failures across the market or group.
400 Bad Request with Failed to cancel any orders means every attempted cancellation failed.
404 No entity found by slug means the slug matches neither a market nor a group.

Cancellation failures use ORDER_NOT_FOUND with Order not found or already canceled, or UNKNOWN_ERROR with Failed to cancel order. Cancellation remains available in normal, post_only, and cancel_only; disabled returns 425 Too Early.
