Polymarket Data API: Smart Money Tracking and Cross-Market Arbitrage

Polymarket Data API: Smart Money Tracking and Cross-Market Arbitrage

If you're a prediction market trader looking to integrate data from Polymarket into your applications for smart money tracking or cross-market arbitrage, you'll need access to the Polymarket Data API. This article will show you how to interact with the api.verilexdata.com/api/v1/pm/stats endpoint using Python.

Tracking Smart Money Signals

To get a sense of market sentiment and potential trading signals, let's start by fetching some data from Polymarkets. Here’s a simple example in Python that retrieves statistics for all active markets:

import requests

def fetch_polymarket_data():
    response = requests.get('https://api.verilexdata.com/api/v1/pm/stats')

    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
    else:
        raise Exception("Failed to fetch data from Polymarkets. Status code: ", response.status_code)

fetch_polymarket_data()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This script sends a GET request to the api.verilexdata.com/api/v1/pm/stats endpoint, which should return JSON containing various statistics about active prediction markets on Polymarket.

Cross-Market Arbitrage

Polymarkets often offer similar bets across different exchanges. By leveraging this API
