Sell Position

Sells an existing position in a Polymarket market. This endpoint allows users to exit their positions by selling their outcome tokens using market orders (FOK/FAK).

Proceeds default to the caller's evmEoa. To deliver them to a different wallet or token, set dstWalletAddress and/or dstToken; when dstWalletAddress is present the request must be signed — see the Polymarket Signing Guide.

⚠️ Upcoming change: signatureByEvmEoa + expiration will soon be required on every sellPosition request, regardless of whether dstWalletAddress is set. The signature is currently optional when dstWalletAddress is omitted, but partners should plan to sign every call ahead of the cutover.
