search_trades() calls dead endpoint GET /trades/search — should use POST /Trade/search #84

Description

@olivier-babelcast

Summary

client.search_trades() hits GET /trades/search which returns 404 (Resource not found). TopstepX moved this endpoint to POST /Trade/search — same response format, different path and HTTP method.

Current behavior

This fails with: ProjectXDataError: Resource not found: /trades/search

trades = await client.search_trades(start_date=start, end_date=end, limit=100)

Working endpoint

POST /Trade/search works and returns the same data

payload = {
"accountId": client.account_info.id,
"startDate": start_date.isoformat(),
"endDate": end_date.isoformat(),
}
resp = await client._make_request("POST", "/Trade/search", data=payload)

resp = {"trades": [...], "success": true, "errorCode": 0, "errorMessage": null}

Response format

Each trade in resp["trades"] matches the existing Trade model:

{
"id": 2190247222,
"accountId": 19330536,
"contractId": "CON.F.US.MNQ.H26",
"creationTimestamp": "2026-02-26T14:30:05.16776+00:00",
"price": 25330.75,
"profitAndLoss": -5.5,
"fees": 0.37,
"side": 0,
"size": 1,
"voided": false,
"orderId": 2531040395
}

Suggested fix

In src/project_x_py/client/trading.py, change search_trades():

  •    response = await self._make_request("GET", "/trades/search", params=params)
    
  •    payload = {
    
  •        "accountId": account_id,
    
  •        "startDate": start_date.isoformat(),
    
  •        "endDate": end_date.isoformat(),
    
  •    }
    
  •    if contract_id:
    
  •        payload["contractId"] = contract_id
    
  •    response = await self._make_request("POST", "/Trade/search", data=payload)
    
  •    if not response or not isinstance(response, list):
    
  •    if not response or not isinstance(response, dict) or not response.get("success", False):
           return []
    
  •    return [Trade(**trade) for trade in response]
    
  •    return [Trade(**trade) for trade in response.get("trades", [])[:limit]]
    

Also noted

The docs reference get_orders(), get_recent_orders(), and position_history but none of these exist in the SDK (v3.5.9).
