POST /apiv2/order5m

Create a 5-minute energy rental order through Netts internal energy pools.

Endpoint URL

POST https://netts.io/apiv2/order5m

Request Headers

HeaderRequiredDescription
Content-TypeYesapplication/json
X-API-KEYYesYour API key from Netts dashboard
X-Real-IPYesIP address from your whitelist

Request Body

json
{
    "amount": 65000,
    "receiveAddress": "TQn9Y2khEsLJW1ChVWFMSMeRDow5KcbLSE"
}

Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
amountintegerYesEnergy amount to rent (minimum: 61,000, maximum: 650,000)
receiveAddressstringYesTRON address that will receive the energy (TRC-20 format)

Energy Limits

The 5-minute endpoint accepts energy amounts between 61,000 and 650,000 units per order. Requests outside this range will be rejected with HTTP 400.

Provider Information

5-minute energy orders are fulfilled exclusively through Netts internal energy pools. Unlike the 1-hour endpoint, external providers are not used.

Availability & Retry Strategy

Since delegations come only from internal pools, temporary unavailability is possible during high-demand periods. If you receive a 503 error, retry the request after a short delay or fall back to the 1-hour endpoint which has access to multiple external providers.

Response

Success Response (200 OK)

json
{
    "detail": {
        "code": 10000,
        "msg": "Successful, 1.430 TRX deducted",
        "data": {
            "orderId": "5Mb4ee11ef86",
            "paidTRX": 1.43,
            "hash": "3636f97dde244fca17cdc0b2cf7fd157...",

            "energy": 65050
        }
    }
}

Success with Address Activation (200 OK)

When the receiver address has not been activated on the TRON network, Netts activates it automatically. The activation cost is added to the total:

json
{
    "detail": {
        "code": 10000,
        "msg": "Successful, 1.430 TRX for energy + 1.100 TRX for address activation",
        "data": {
            "orderId": "5Mb4ee11ef86",
            "paidTRX": 2.53,
            "hash": "3636f97dde244fca17cdc0b2cf7fd157...",
            "delegateAddress": "TNp5gsJhBmZFXgCdgjMgr8pEZ8fHgXUHDq",
            "energy": 65050,
            "activationHash": "bab38070a64b237acc9110ecf5135acc..."
        }
    }
}

Error Responses

Invalid Energy Amount (400)

json
{
    "code": 1003,
    "msg": "Energy amount must be between 61000 and 650000. Requested: 50000"
}

Authentication Error (401)

json
{
    "detail": "Invalid API key or IP not in whitelist"
}

Insufficient Balance (403)

json
{
    "code": 1004,
    "msg": "Insufficient funds. Required: 1.43 TRX, Available: 0.50 TRX"
}

Service Unavailable (503)

json
{
    "code": 5003,
    "msg": "Service temporarily unavailable. Energy delegation failed after retries."
}

Handling 503 Errors

A 503 response means internal pools are temporarily at capacity. Recommended strategy:

  1. Wait 2-3 seconds and retry the 5-minute order
  2. If still unavailable, fall back to the 1-hour endpoint which uses multiple providers

Internal Server Error (500)

json
{
    "code": 5000,
    "msg": "Internal server error occurred"
}

Idempotency

The API supports idempotency to prevent duplicate order processing. When you send multiple identical requests, the system ensures the order is processed only once.

How Idempotency Works

Request uniqueness is determined by a combination of:

  • Request timestamp (2-second window)
  • Energy amount
  • Receiver address
  • API key

Each request is given a 2-second uniqueness window. Requests with identical parameters within this window are treated as duplicates.

HTTP Status Codes for Duplicate Requests

Duplicate Request - Still Processing (409)

    "error": "duplicate_request_processing",

}

Best Practices

  • Do not send parallel requests with the same parameters - wait for each response
  • Handle 409 responses by waiting, not by immediately retrying
  • Check idempotency.cached field to identify cached responses

Notes

  • Energy is delivered instantly upon successful order (typically within 0.5-2 seconds)
  • API response timeout: Maximum 10 seconds (includes internal retry attempts)
  • Address activation: If receiver address is not activated, Netts activates it at cost price. Activation cost is charged only once per address
  • Duration: Fixed 5 minutes (300 seconds)
  • Minimum energy amount: 61,000 units
  • Maximum energy amount: 650,000 units per order
  • Energy buffer: +50 units added automatically (free of charge)
  • Order ID format: 5M{id} for unified tracking
  • Pricing: Dynamic based on time of day via Pricing API
  • Rate limiting: 50 requests per second per IP address
  • Internal pools only: If pools are at capacity, retry after a short delay or use the 1-hour endpoint as fallback
