# Place many orders

> Batch order placement on ScripX: submit up to 500 duty credit scrip orders in one call with partial success semantics and per-item results.

Up to 500 orders in one call, with **partial success**: valid orders submit, invalid ones report back per item, and one bad row never sinks the batch. Requires the `orders:write` scope.

### Request example

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl -X POST "https://api.scripxhq.com/v1/orders:batch" \
  -H "X-ScripX-Key: <YOUR_API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"orders": [
        {"side": "sell", "scheme": "RODTEP", "amount_paise": 100000000, "min_pct_bps": 9600},
        {"side": "sell", "scheme": "ROSCTL", "amount_paise": 50000000}
      ]}'
```

### Response example

```json theme={"dark"}
{
  "submitted": 1,
  "rejected": 1,
  "results": [
    {"index": 0, "ok": true, "order_id": "ord_01HZX…"},
    {"index": 1, "ok": false, "status": 422, "error": "amount_paise must be a positive integer"}
  ]
}
```

Walk `results` by `index`; never assume positional success.

### Errors

* `401` / `403` / `429`, the standard [auth errors](/authentication#authentication-errors).
* `422 unprocessable`, a malformed envelope (per-item problems come back in `results` instead).

**Terms used here:** [scheme](/annexure/terminology#scheme), [paise](/annexure/terminology#paise), [bps](/annexure/terminology#basis-point), [price floor](/annexure/terminology#price-floor-and-ceiling), [order](/annexure/terminology#order), [batch](/annexure/terminology#batch), [position](/annexure/terminology#position), [API key](/annexure/terminology#api-key), [scope](/annexure/terminology#scope).
