​
Overview

Sets the user agent timestamp for the authenticated user, indicating that a bot is actively running. This causes your listings and buy orders to show as “automated” for 10 minutes (600 seconds).
Call this endpoint every 5-9 minutes from your bot to maintain automated status (expires after 10 minutes).

How It Works

1

Your listings/buy orders show a lightning icon (⚡) for 10 minutes
3

Refresh before expiry

Call again before refresh_at timestamp to maintain status

​
Linked Accounts

When multiaccounts is provided:
  • The user agent is set for those linked accounts in addition to the main account
  • Listings/buy orders created with a multiaccount_proxy will check that linked account’s user agent status
  • For buy orders, automation status can be triggered by either the linked account’s user agent OR the main account’s autoaccept feature
The lightning icon indicates automated listings/buy orders, helping users know they’ll receive instant trade offers.
