I am using ccxt library to work with exchange. Struggling with making market order on Bybit. How it can be fixed? The error i've got is TypeError: Exchange.request() takes from 1 to 3 positional arguments but 5 were given

 bybit_spot = ccxt.bybit({
        "apiKey": config.bybit_API_KEY,
        "secret": config.bybit_SECRET_KEY,
        "options": {'defaultType': 'spot' }})
    bybit_spot.private_post_spot_v1_order("GMTUSDT", "buy", "market", amount)

Where are you getting private_post_spot_v1_order method from? It doesn't seem to be a ccxt method as far as I can see. The correct method for place an order is createOrder as defined in the manual.

Here is a working example with binance but it should be the same for bybit:

import ccxt
exchange = ccxt.binance({
    'apiKey': '...',
    'secret': '...',
})

exchange.createOrder('BTC/USDT', 'market', 'sell', 0.1)

Let me know if it doesn't work and I will open an account with bybit to test it there.

Hope this could help:

import ccxt from 'ccxt';

const bybit = new ccxt.bybit();

bybit.apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
bybit.secret = 'YOUR_SECRET';

const symbol = 'BTC/USDT';
const amount = 1;
const side = 'sell';

(async function () {
    try {
        const order = await bybit.createOrder(symbol, 'market', side, amount);
        console.log(order);

        const orderDetails = await bybit.fetchOrder(order.id, symbol);
        console.log(orderDetails);
    } catch (e) {
        console.error(e);
    }
})();
