name polymarket description Comprehensive Polymarket skill covering prediction markets, API, trading, market data, and real-time WebSocket data streaming. Build applications with Polymarket services, monitor live trades, and integrate market predictions. Polymarket Comprehensive Skill Complete assistance with Polymarket development - covering the full platform (API, trading, market data) and the real-time data streaming client (WebSocket subscriptions for live market activity). When to Use This Skill This skill should be triggered when: Platform & API: Working with Polymarket prediction markets Using Polymarket API for market data Implementing trading strategies Building applications with Polymarket services Learning Polymarket best practices Real-Time Data Streaming: Connecting to Polymarket's WebSocket service Building prediction market monitoring tools Processing live trades, orders, and market updates Monitoring market comments and social reactions Tracking RFQ (Request for Quote) activity Integrating crypto price feeds Quick Reference Real-Time Data Client Setup Installation: npm install @polymarket/real-time-data-client Basic Usage: import { RealTimeDataClient } from "@polymarket/real-time-data-client" ; const onMessage = ( message : Message ): void => { console . log (message. topic , message. type , message. payload ); }; const onConnect = ( client : RealTimeDataClient ): void => { client. subscribe ({ subscriptions : [{ topic : "activity" , type : "trades" }] }); }; new RealTimeDataClient ({ onMessage, onConnect }). connect (); Supported WebSocket Topics 1. Activity ( activity ) trades - Completed trades orders_matched - Order matching events Filters: {"event_slug":"string"} OR {"market_slug":"string"} 2. Comments ( comments ) comment_created , comment_removed reaction_created , reaction_removed Filters: {"parentEntityID":number,"parentEntityType":"Event"} 3. RFQ ( rfq ) Request/Quote lifecycle events No filters, no auth required 4. Crypto Prices ( crypto_prices , crypto_prices_chainlink ) update - Real-time price feeds Filters: {"symbol":"BTC"} (optional) 5. CLOB User ( clob_user ) ⚠️ Requires Auth order - User's order updates trade - User's trade executions 6. CLOB Market ( clob_market ) price_change - Price movements agg_orderbook - Aggregated order book last_trade_price - Latest prices market_created , market_resolved Authentication for User Data client. subscribe ({ subscriptions : [{ topic : "clob_user" , type : "*" , clob_auth : { key : "your-api-key" , secret : "your-api-secret" , passphrase : "your-passphrase" } }] }); Common Use Cases Monitor Specific Market: client. subscribe ({ subscriptions : [{ topic : "activity" , type : "trades" , filters : `{"market_slug":"btc-above-100k-2024"}` }] }); Track Multiple Markets: client. subscribe ({ subscriptions : [{ topic : "clob_market" , type : "price_change" , filters : `["100","101","102"]` }] }); Monitor Event Comments: client. subscribe ({ subscriptions : [{ topic : "comments" , type : "*" , filters : `{"parentEntityID":12345,"parentEntityType":"Event"}` }] }); Reference Files This skill includes comprehensive documentation in references/ : Platform Documentation: api.md - Polymarket API documentation getting_started.md - Getting started guide guides.md - Development guides learn.md - Learning resources trading.md - Trading documentation other.md - Additional resources Real-Time Client: README.md - WebSocket client API and examples llms.md - LLM integration guide llms-full.md - Complete LLM documentation Use view to read specific reference files for detailed information. Key Features Platform Capabilities: ✅ Prediction market creation and resolution ✅ Trading API (REST & WebSocket) ✅ Market data queries ✅ User portfolio management ✅ Event and market discovery Real-Time Streaming: ✅ WebSocket-based persistent connections ✅ Topic-based subscriptions ✅ Dynamic subscription management ✅ Filter support for targeted data ✅ User authentication for private data ✅ TypeScript with full type safety ✅ Initial data dumps on connection Best Practices WebSocket Connection Management Use onConnect callback for subscriptions Implement reconnection logic for production Clean up with disconnect() when done Handle authentication errors gracefully Subscription Strategy Use wildcards ( "*" ) sparingly Apply filters to reduce data volume Unsubscribe from unused streams Process messages asynchronously Performance Consider batching high-frequency data Use filters to minimize client processing Validate message payloads before use Requirements Node.js : 14+ recommended TypeScript : Optional but recommended Package Manager : npm or yarn Resources Official Links Polymarket Platform : https://polymarket.com Real-Time Client Repo : https://github.com/Polymarket/real-time-data-client API Documentation : See references/api.md Working with This Skill For Beginners: Start with getting_started.md for foundational concepts. For API Integration: Use api.md and trading.md for REST API details. For Real-Time Data: Use README.md for WebSocket client implementation. For LLM Integration: Use llms.md and llms-full.md for AI/ML use cases. Notes Real-Time Client is TypeScript/JavaScript (not Python) Some WebSocket topics require authentication Use filters to manage message volume effectively All timestamps are Unix timestamps Market IDs are strings (e.g., "100", "101") Platform documentation covers both REST API and WebSocket usage This comprehensive skill combines Polymarket platform expertise with real-time data streaming capabilities!
