Limitless Exchange Rust SDK

v1.0.9 | Rust SDK parity with the existing Limitless SDK surface

Rust SDK for interacting with the Limitless Exchange API.

This crate is a parity-driven Rust port of the existing Limitless SDK surface. The current implementation includes:

  • shared HTTP client with API key, identity-header, and HMAC auth support
  • typed API errors and retry helpers
  • root Client
  • markets, portfolio, and market-pages services
  • partner api-token, partner-account, and server-wallet services
  • order builder, validator, EIP-712 signer, and order client
  • delegated-order service
  • websocket types and socket.io client surface

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

This SDK is provided "as-is" without any warranties or guarantees. Trading on prediction markets involves financial risk. By using this SDK, you acknowledge that:

  • You are responsible for testing the SDK thoroughly before using it in production
  • The SDK authors are not liable for any financial losses or damages
  • You should review and understand the code before executing any trades
  • It is recommended to test all functionality on testnet or with small amounts first
  • The SDK may contain bugs or unexpected behavior despite best efforts

ALWAYS TEST BEFORE USING IN PRODUCTION WITH REAL FUNDS

For production use, we strongly recommend:

  1. Running comprehensive tests with your specific use case
  2. Starting with small transaction amounts
  3. Monitoring all transactions carefully
  4. Having proper error handling and recovery mechanisms

Geographic Restrictions

Important: Limitless restricts order placement from US locations due to regulatory requirements and compliance with international sanctions. Before placing orders, builders should verify their location complies with applicable regulations.

Status

This is the first full-surface parity pass. The crate is implemented against the Go SDK shape and verified locally with:

  • cargo fmt
  • cargo check --examples
  • cargo test

Installation

[dependencies]
limitless-exchange-rust-sdk = "1.0.9"

Authentication Modes

  • Public read-only endpoints: no authentication required. Use these for active markets, market pages, and orderbooks.
  • API key authentication: required for portfolio and standard order-placement flows.
  • HMAC-scoped authentication: used for partner/delegated/server-wallet flows and can also authenticate websocket position streams.

The SDK reads LIMITLESS_API_KEY automatically when present, or you can configure credentials explicitly with Client::builder().

Quick Start

Public Market Data

use limitless_exchange_rust_sdk::{ActiveMarketsParams, ActiveMarketsSortBy, Client};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let sdk = Client::new()?;

    let markets = sdk
        .markets
        .get_active_markets(Some(&ActiveMarketsParams {
            limit: Some(5),
            page: None,
            sort_by: Some(ActiveMarketsSortBy::Newest),
        }))
        .await?;

    println!("Found {} markets", markets.data.len());
    Ok(())
}

Authenticated Portfolio Access

use std::env;

use limitless_exchange_rust_sdk::Client;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let sdk = Client::from_http_client(
        Client::builder()
            .api_key(env::var("LIMITLESS_API_KEY")?)
            .build()?,
    )?;

    let positions = sdk.portfolio.get_positions().await?;
    println!("CLOB positions: {}", positions.clob.len());

    let history = sdk.portfolio.get_user_history(None, Some(20)).await?;
    println!("History entries: {}", history.data.len());

    if let Some(next_cursor) = history.next_cursor.as_deref() {
        let next_page = sdk
            .portfolio
            .get_user_history(Some(next_cursor), Some(20))
            .await?;
        println!("Next page entries: {}", next_page.data.len());
    }

    Ok(())
}

Signed Order Placement

use std::env;

use limitless_exchange_rust_sdk::{Client, OrderArgs, OrderType, Side, GtcOrderArgs};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::from_http_client(
        Client::builder()
            .api_key(env::var("LIMITLESS_API_KEY")?)
            .build()?
    )?;

    let market = client.markets.get_market("btc-above-150k-by-jun-2026").await?;
    println!("market: {}", market.title);

    let private_key = env::var("PRIVATE_KEY")?;
    let order_client = client.new_order_client(
        &private_key,
        None,
    )?;

    let order = order_client
        .create_order(limitless_exchange_rust_sdk::CreateOrderParams {
            order_type: OrderType::Gtc,
            market_slug: market.slug.clone(),
            args: OrderArgs::from(GtcOrderArgs {
                token_id: market.outcomes[0].token_id.clone(),
                side: Side::Buy,
                price: 0.51,
                size: 10.0,
                expiration: None,
                nonce: None,
                taker: None,
                post_only: false,
            }),
        })
        .await?;

    println!("order id: {}", order.order.id);
    Ok(())
}

Workflow Guide

Partner Server-Wallet Allowances

Use partner_accounts.check_allowances(profile_id) and partner_accounts.retry_allowances(profile_id) only for partner child profiles created with create_server_wallet = true. These endpoints require scoped HMAC credentials derived with SCOPE_ACCOUNT_CREATION and SCOPE_DELEGATED_SIGNING.

use limitless_exchange_rust_sdk::{Client, HmacCredentials};

let sdk = Client::from_http_client(
    Client::builder()
        .hmac_credentials(HmacCredentials {
            token_id: std::env::var("LIMITLESS_API_TOKEN_ID")?,
            secret: std::env::var("LIMITLESS_API_TOKEN_SECRET")?,
        })
        .build()?,
)?;

let profile_id = 12345;
let mut allowances = sdk.partner_accounts.check_allowances(profile_id).await?;
if !allowances.ready {
    // Retry re-checks live chain state and submits only targets still missing.
    // A returned "submitted" status means this request submitted a sponsored tx/user operation.
    allowances = sdk.partner_accounts.retry_allowances(profile_id).await?;
}

println!("allowance ready: {}", allowances.ready);

Poll check_allowances first. If ready is false and one or more targets are missing or failed with retryable = true, call retry_allowances, then poll check_allowances again after a short delay. Retry 429 and 409 responses are returned as LimitlessError::Api; inspect err.status, and for 429 read retryAfterSeconds from err.data.
