Response example

{
  "success": true,
  "data": "201710041710516537"
}

The order is accepted immediately, the method returns assigned id. The order is still validated with exactly same logic as in [validate] (#validate-an-order) method and is sent to market on successful validation pass. Otherwise, the order will reject asynchronously and you can query its status by calling the [details] (#get-order-details) method.

Response

name	value
success	true
data	the id assigned to the order
