getting below response:  
{‘meta’: {‘after’: None, ‘before’: None, ‘limit’: 10, ‘total\_count’: 0}, ‘result’: , ‘success’: True}

but an active order was already there..  
pls help me in this code, if I’m approaching in right way.

[https://docs.delta.exchange/#get-active-orders](https://docs.delta.exchange/#get-active-orders)

This is documentation for getting open orders endpoint.  
In the below table for parameters:  
‘states’ (not ‘status’) param can have values like - open,pending.  
Currently you have sending params = {‘status’: ‘ACTIVE’}.  
You can send {‘states’: ‘open’}
