# Backend Endpoint Refactor

From the 27th of October 2025, in an effort to reduce the size of payloads returned, the `/trading-variables` endpoint will omit `allTrades`. Please use the new, already available, endpoints to fetch open trades and a leaner version of trading variables.\
\
**TLDR**:

* `GET /trading-variables` <sup><mark style="color:$warning;">partially deprecated<mark style="color:$warning;"></sup>
  * Currently returns the `allTrades` property.
  * <mark style="color:$danger;">`allTrades`</mark> <mark style="color:$danger;"></mark><mark style="color:$danger;">property will be deprecated on 10/27/2025.</mark>
* `GET /trading-variables/all` <sup><mark style="color:$success;">new<mark style="color:$success;"></sup>
  * Returns trading variables with an empty `allTrades` property.
  * Significantly reduces payload size and speeds up request time.
* `GET /open-trades/<?address>` <sup><mark style="color:$success;">new<mark style="color:$success;"></sup>&#x20;
  * Returns an array of open trades. Trade container types remain the same.&#x20;
  * Replaces `allTrades` payload from deprecated `/trading-variables` endpoint.&#x20;
  * *Optional:* provide an address to filter returned trades. Significantly reduces payload size.
    * <mark style="color:$warning;">Important</mark>: If provided, `address` **MUST** be checksummed.
