Positions whose markets were archived before `market_positions_last_updated_ts` on `GET /historical/cutoff` are available via this endpoint. Positions are archived per whole event: a settled event's positions move here together and are never split between this endpoint and `GET /portfolio/positions`. Unsettled positions are always available via `GET /portfolio/positions`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml get /historical/positions openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Kalshi Trade API Manual Endpoints version: 3.26.0 description: >- Manually defined OpenAPI spec for endpoints being migrated to spec-first approach servers: - url: https://external-api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2 description: Production Trade API server - url: https://api.elections.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2 description: Production shared API server, also supported - url: https://external-api.demo.kalshi.co/trade-api/v2 description: Demo Trade API server - url: https://demo-api.kalshi.co/trade-api/v2 description: Demo shared API server, also supported security: [] tags: - name: api-keys description: API key management endpoints - name: orders description: Order management endpoints - name: order-groups description: Order group management endpoints - name: portfolio description: Portfolio and balance information endpoints - name: communications description: Request-for-quote (RFQ) endpoints - name: multivariate description: Multivariate event collection endpoints - name: exchange description: Exchange status and information endpoints - name: live-data description: Live data endpoints - name: markets description: Market data endpoints - name: milestone description: Milestone endpoints - name: search description: Search and filtering endpoints - name: incentive-programs description: Incentive program endpoints - name: fcm description: FCM member specific endpoints - name: events description: Event endpoints - name: structured-targets description: Structured targets endpoints paths: /historical/positions: get: tags: - historical summary: Get Historical Positions description: ' Endpoint for getting settled market positions that have been archived to the historical database.
