How do we check the fill status of a resting order?

[jeremytanjianle]

If we send a limit order, and track the orderId, can we use the orderId to check on the status of this order?
ie, Is there a way to programmatically get fill price and quantity of this resting order after a few days later?

I've looked at ib.reqExecutions but it seems to only work for the current session.

Thanks

You are correct the API executions history is cleared by IBKR every 1-2 days. The current primary use is just for verifying how orders and trades actually executed. The only way to get full historical reports is with the IBKR FLEX reporting API service or the standard web interface for account management.

I think I saw somewhere IBKR is going to enable more trade history through "normal" APIs eventually, but I don't remember any specific timeframes or implementation details from when it was mentioned.
