Polymarket public data API

Polymarket publishes market metadata, outcome prices and order-book data through public read interfaces. Query filters and rate limits vary by endpoint; authenticated trading and Polymarket US are separate services.

Polymarket / public market-data discovery and retrieval. Authenticated trading and the separate Polymarket US service are excluded.

Authentication and access

The developer quickstart shows an unauthenticated market-list request. Customer wallet authentication, order signing and platform eligibility belong to a separate trading route.

Queries, formats and bulk data

Events group markets, and each outcome has an identifier for price and order-book retrieval. Discovery supports bounded filtering and iterative result pages; there is no customer SQL database interface in this review.

Structured market responses can be downloaded, but comprehensive historical coverage and permitted redistribution are separate questions. SaaS cancellation rights do not map directly to this public route.

Costs and permission to reuse data

The assessed public Gamma read path requires no credentials or subscription. Trading fees, authenticated routes and the separate US exchange are outside this assessment.

Applicable downstream processing, AI and redistribution terms require further review.

Check the source and third-party content rights before building a downstream product (public availability does not guarantee unrestricted reuse). This review covers published data access; authenticated submissions and account operations have different terms.

Refresh, deletions and recovery

The public Gamma API documents separate market and event limits over sliding ten-second windows. Cloudflare queues/delays excess requests; authenticated trading has separate controls.

Changes and deletions

The reviewed refresh documentation does not establish update/deletion identities and complete scoped change capture.
