Cancel Buy (Self-Trade)

Merchant-facing equivalent of POST /client/trading/withdraw/{tradeId}/cancel. Requests cancellation of every still-cancellable item in one of your own self-trade buys, rather than one item at a time — a single call replaces a loop over POST /secure/buy/{tradeId}/items/{itemId}/cancel. Authentication: Merchant API Key (api-key header) Scope: CORE_ACCESS

CS2 (Assetpay) items only. Rust buys and autoseller-sourced items have no supplier cancel API. If every item in the trade is in one of those lanes the call fails with TRADE_CANCEL_UNSUPPORTED (44); if only some are, they are simply left out of the result. Only self-trade buys (source: "self") are cancellable through this endpoint.

Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`tradeId`	string	Yes	The buy trade’s internal ID, or the `externalId` you supplied at creation.

Best effort, not all-or-nothing

The supplier decides which items still qualify, so a partial result is still a 200. Read the body, not the status code:

requested — how many items the supplier considered cancellable at all
cancelled / failed — how those split
items[] — one row per item the supplier reported on

Items the supplier never considered (already delivered, in Steam hold, Rust, autoseller-sourced) do not appear in items[] at all. An item must also be at least 30 minutes old and not yet terminal; younger items come back as failed with reason: "TRADE_CANCEL_TOO_SOON".

    ]
  }
}

Field	Type	Description
`tradeId`	string (uuid)	The trade’s internal ID.
`requested`	integer	Items the supplier considered cancellable.
`cancelled`	integer	How many it accepted.
`failed`	integer	How many it refused.
`items[].itemId`	string	The item’s AssetPay ID.
`items[].externalId`	string	Your own reference for the item, when you supplied one at buy time. Omitted otherwise.
`items[].status`	string	`"cancelled"` or `"failed"`.
`items[].reason`	string	Stable error key when the cancel was refused — e.g. `TRADE_CANCEL_TOO_SOON`, `TRADE_NOT_CANCELLABLE`. Omitted on success.

A cancelled row only confirms the marketplace accepted the cancellation. AssetPay does not change item state inline — the refund and the transition to canceled arrive asynchronously through the standard trade.* callback. Poll GET /secure/trades/{tradeId} or rely on callbacks for the final state.

A cancel lands on canceled, not reverted. reverted is for a delivered item that came back afterwards.

Errors

Code	Key	When
28	`TRADE_NOT_CANCELLABLE`	The trade is not a withdraw-type buy, or the marketplace refused the request outright.
44	`TRADE_CANCEL_UNSUPPORTED`	Every item in the trade is Rust or autoseller-sourced, so none can be cancelled.
1300	`FORBIDDEN`	The trade is not a self-trade owned by the authenticated merchant.
2201	`ITEM_NOT_FOUND`	No trade matches that `tradeId` or `externalId`.
