# List orders

`GET /v0/clients/orders`

> **Authentication:** every request must send `X-ConfidentLims-APIKey`, `X-ConfidentLims-Timestamp` (unix seconds) and `X-ConfidentLims-Signature`, an HMAC-SHA256 signature of the request. The examples below call `sign_request()` from the [Request Signing guide](https://api.confidentcannabis.com/v0/docs/request-signing.md) — read it first. Request bodies are form-encoded, never JSON.

Return every order your client has placed, ordered by order date descending so the newest orders come first.

Use `start` and `limit` to page through the results (maximum 100 per page). When more results are available beyond the current page, `more_results` is true. Combine `modified_since_time` with paging to poll for changes.

## Query parameters

- `start` (integer, optional, default `0`) — Zero-based offset of the first result.
- `limit` (integer, optional, default `100`) — Maximum results per page (max 100).
- `status_id` (integer, optional) — Only return orders in this order status. See the order statuses endpoint for available IDs.
- `modified_since_time` (string, optional) — Only return orders modified after this timestamp.
- `client_id` (integer, optional) — Only return orders placed with this lab.
