### Cancel Order Request Examples

Source: https://docs.limitless.exchange/api-reference/trading/cancel-order

Examples of how to send a DELETE request to the orders endpoint using different programming languages. All examples require the 'lmts-api-key' header for authentication.

```curl
curl --request DELETE \
  --url https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId} \
  --header 'lmts-api-key: <api-key>'
```

```python
import requests

url = "https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}"

headers = {"lmts-api-key": "<api-key>"}

response = requests.delete(url, headers=headers)

print(response.text)
```

```javascript
const options = {method: 'DELETE', headers: {'lmts-api-key': '<api-key>'}};

fetch('https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}', options)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(res => console.log(res))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
```

```php
<?php

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
  CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}",
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "DELETE",
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
    "lmts-api-key: <api-key>"
  ],
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}
```

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"io"
)

func main() {

	url := "https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}"

	req, _ := http.NewRequest("DELETE", url, nil)

	req.Header.Add("lmts-api-key", "<api-key>")

	res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	defer res.Body.Close()
	body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body)

	fmt.Println(string(body))

}
```

```java
HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest.delete("https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}")
  .header("lmts-api-key", "<api-key>")
  .asString();
```

```ruby
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

url = URI("https://api.limitless.exchange/orders/{orderId}")

http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true

request = Net::HTTP::Delete.new(url)
request["lmts-api-key"] = '<api-key>'

response = http.request(request)
puts response.read_body
```

import asyncio
import os
from eth_account import Account
from limitless_sdk.api import HttpClient
from limitless_sdk import HMACCredentials
from limitless_sdk.markets import MarketFetcher
from limitless_sdk.orders import OrderClient
from limitless_sdk.types import Side, OrderType

# Authenticate with a scoped API token (token ID + secret)
http_client = HttpClient(
    hmac_credentials=HMACCredentials(
        token_id=os.environ["LMTS_TOKEN_ID"],
        secret=os.environ["LMTS_TOKEN_SECRET"],
    ),
)
account = Account.from_key("0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY")
market_fetcher = MarketFetcher(http_client)
