--- title: "Get RFQ Batch" method: GET path: "/communications/rfq_batches/{rfq_batch_id}" tags: ["communications"] --- # Get RFQ Batch `GET /communications/rfq_batches/{rfq_batch_id}` ## Request - Base URL: `https://external-api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2` - URL: `https://external-api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2/communications/rfq_batches/{rfq_batch_id}` - Auth: API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-KEY` and API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-SIGNATURE` and API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP` Endpoint for getting a single RFQ batch, with its child RFQs in request order. ## Path parameters - `rfq_batch_id` string, required ## Response `200` RFQ batch retrieved successfully - GetRFQBatchResponse - `rfq_batch` RFQBatch, required - `id` string, required: UUID of the RFQ batch. Preserve the exact returned string. - `creator_id` string, required: Public communications ID of the batch creator, obscured for other users like RFQ.creator_id when obscure_creator_id was set. It is revealed once a child RFQ executes. - `status` 'open' | 'accepted' | 'closed', required: Status of an RFQ batch. An open batch takes batch quotes; an accepted batch is waiting for its winning makers to confirm or is executing; a closed batch is finished. - `created_ts` string, date-time, required: Timestamp when the RFQ batch was created - `accepted_ts` string, date-time: Timestamp when a batch quote on the batch was accepted - `closed_ts` string, date-time: Timestamp when the RFQ batch closed - `rfqs` RFQ[], required: The child RFQs, in the order they were requested - `id` string, required: UUID of the RFQ. Preserve the exact returned string. - `creator_id` string, required: Public communications ID of the RFQ creator (pseudonymous). When obscure_creator_id is enabled, other users receive the shared placeholder "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855" (SHA-256 of empty input). The creator sees their normal ID. After successful quote execution, subsequent RFQ responses show the normal public communications ID to all viewers. - `market_ticker` string, required: The ticker of the market this RFQ is for - `contracts_fp` string, required: Fixed-point contract count string (2 decimals, e.g., "10.00"; referred to as "fp" in field names). Requests accept 0-2 decimal places (e.g., "10", "10.0", "10.00"); responses always emit 2 decimals. Fractional contract values (e.g., "2.50") are supported; the minimum granularity is 0.01 contracts. - `target_cost_dollars` string: Fixed-point US dollar string. Most request fields accept 2-4 decimal places (e.g., "0.56", "0.5600"); responses emit up to 6. Valid quote intervals for a given market are constrained by that market's price level structure. - `target_cost_excludes_fees` boolean: True when the target cost is principal-only and quote sizes are computed without reserving taker fees (fees are charged on top). - `status` 'open' | 'closed', required: Current status of the RFQ (open, closed) - `created_ts` string, date-time, required: Timestamp when the RFQ was created - `mve_collection_ticker` string: Ticker of the MVE collection this market belongs to - `mve_selected_legs` MveSelectedLeg[]: Selected legs for the MVE collection - `event_ticker` string: Unique identifier for the selected event - `market_ticker` string: Unique identifier for the selected market - `side` string: The side of the selected market - `yes_settlement_value_dollars` string: Fixed-point US dollar string. Most request fields accept 2-4 decimal places (e.g., "0.56", "0.5600"); responses emit up to 6. Valid quote intervals for a given market are constrained by that market's price level structure. - `rest_remainder` boolean: Whether to rest the remainder of the RFQ after execution - `cancellation_reason` string: Reason for RFQ cancellation if cancelled - `creator_user_id` string: User ID of the RFQ creator (private field) - `creator_subaccount` integer: Subaccount number of the RFQ creator (visible when the caller is the RFQ creator) - `cancelled_ts` string, date-time: Timestamp when the RFQ was cancelled - `updated_ts` string, date-time: Timestamp when the RFQ was last updated - `rfq_batch_id` string: Identifier of the RFQ batch this RFQ is a child of. Omitted for an RFQ outside a batch. A child can be quoted like a single RFQ, with the differences described in [Request for Quote](/getting_started/rfqs#rfq-batch-children). - `updated_ts` string, date-time: Timestamp when the RFQ batch was last updated (visible to the batch creator) - `close_reason` string: Why the RFQ batch closed, for example executed, execution failed, or cancelled. A batch closes partially executed only in the rare case that filling one child cancelled a maker order another child needed (visible to the batch creator) - `client_batch_id` string: The client_batch_id given at creation (visible to the batch creator) - `creator_user_id` string: User ID of the batch creator (private field) - `creator_subaccount` integer: Subaccount number of the batch creator (visible to the batch creator) ## Other responses - `400`: Bad request - invalid input - `401`: Unauthorized - authentication required - `404`: Resource not found - `500`: Internal server error ## Changes - **2026-10-26** `c3b2035a5d57`: 1 info - added the optional property `rfq_batch/rfqs/items/rfq_batch_id` to the response with the `200` status - **2026-10-21** `f060c10fe3ab`: 1 info - endpoint added [Operation history](https://skmtc.dev/kalshi/apis/kalshi-trade-api-manual-endpoints/changes/communications/rfq_batches/:rfq_batch_id/get.md) --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/kalshi/apis/kalshi-trade-api-manual-endpoints.md) - [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/kalshi/apis/kalshi-trade-api-manual-endpoints/llms.txt) - [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/kalshi/apis/kalshi-trade-api-manual-endpoints/revisions/e6691cdd1915?raw)
