JSON properties in TradersPost are case sensitive. Users should copy property names directly from the documentation to ensure correct formatting and avoid execution errors.
Yes, JSON properties in TradersPost are case sensitive. For example, a property like limitPrice must have a capital “P” in the JSON payload. If the property is written incorrectly, such as limitprice with a lowercase “p”, the system may not interpret it as intended, potentially leading to the wrong type of order being executed.
Best Practices
To avoid errors with case-sensitive properties, it's recommended to copy and paste the property names directly from the TradersPost documentation to ensure correct formatting. Double-check that properties like limitPrice use the exact capitalization shown in the API reference.
