# Builder Methods

> Methods for querying orders and trades using builder API credentials.

## Client Initialization

Builder methods require the client to initialize with a separate builder config using credentials acquired from [Polymarket.com](https://polymarket.com/settings?tab=builder) and the `@polymarket/builder-signing-sdk` package.

## Methods

***

### getOrder

Get details for a specific order by ID using builder authentication. When called from a builder-configured client, the request authenticates with builder headers and returns orders attributed to the builder.

```typescript Signature theme={null}
async getOrder(orderID: string): Promise<OpenOrder>
```

<Info>
  When a `BuilderConfig` is present, the client automatically sends builder headers. If builder auth is unavailable, it falls back to standard L2 headers.
</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  const order = await clobClient.getOrder("0xb816482a...");
  console.log(order);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  order = clob_client.get_order("0xb816482a...")
  print(order)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

***

### getOpenOrders

Get all open orders attributed to the builder. When called from a builder-configured client, returns orders placed through the builder rather than orders owned by the authenticated user.

```typescript Signature theme={null}
async getOpenOrders(
  params?: OpenOrderParams,
  only_first_page?: boolean,
): Promise<OpenOrder[]>
```

**Params**

<ResponseField name="id" type="string">
  Optional. Filter by order ID.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="market" type="string">
  Optional. Filter by market condition ID.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="asset_id" type="string">
  Optional. Filter by token ID.
</ResponseField>

```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
// All open orders for this builder
const orders = await clobClient.getOpenOrders();

// Filtered by market
const marketOrders = await clobClient.getOpenOrders({
  market: "0xbd31dc8a...",
});
```

***

### getBuilderTrades

Retrieves all trades attributed to your builder account. Use this to track which trades were routed through your platform.

```typescript Signature theme={null}
