Engineering · CLOB API

Wire Polymarket directly into your trading stack.

If you have an existing quant system and you want Polymarket as a venue alongside your other markets, we build native CLOB API integrations. EIP-712 order signing, proxy-wallet support, websocket book streams, rate-limit handling. Technically: we wrap the CLOB REST + WS endpoints in a typed client compatible with your existing OMS, with retry/back-off and order lifecycle telemetry.

How it works

What an integration looks like.

Four layers, each independently testable and swappable. New to the topic? See the CLOB API glossary entry and our guide on how to make a Polymarket bot.

01 · AUTH

Proxy-wallet model with optional EOA mode. We handle the L1/L2 funding flow, USDC approvals, and key rotation policies.

02 · DATA

Markets metadata, orderbook snapshots, fills, and resolutions - REST + WS streams normalized into your event bus. Reconnect/replay built-in.

03 · ORDERS

Limit, FOK, IOC, market - all signed and submitted via EIP-712. Includes order lifecycle (placed/filled/canceled/expired) emitted to your telemetry.

04 · OPS

Rate-limit accounting, backoff, dead-letter for failed requests, structured logs. The kind of work nobody wants to write but everybody needs.

Config

Drop-in client - Python example.

Typed wrapper, async streams, normalized events. Same API surface for Polymarket and Kalshi in our SDK.

client.py config
# Python - typed CLOB client wrapper
from predikted.clob import ClobClient, OrderType

client = ClobClient(
    host="https://clob.polymarket.com",
    chain_id=137,                # Polygon mainnet
    proxy_wallet=True,
)

# Book snapshot
book = client.get_orderbook(token_id="0xabc…")
mid = (book.best_bid + book.best_ask) / 2

# Place a signed limit order
order = client.place_order(
    token_id="0xabc…",
    side="BUY",
    price=0.49,
    size_usdc=500,
    order_type=OrderType.GTC,
)

# Subscribe to your fills
async for event in client.stream_fills(wallet=client.account):
    metrics.observe(event)
Honest framing

Things to know before you wire funds.

i
Rate limits are conservative for a reason.

Polymarket's 100 req/min public endpoint is shared. If you're polling, you'll hit it. We default to websocket streams for book data and rate-account your authenticated calls.

i
Proxy wallets vs EOA - pick one.

Proxy wallets give a smoother UX but add an indirection layer to debug. EOAs are simpler but cost more per setup. We default to proxy unless you have a specific reason otherwise.

!
USDC approvals expire (sort of).

USDC is approved per spender. We surface the approval state in your dashboard so you don't get a surprise 'transfer failed' at 3am.

Don't share private keys with us. Ever.

Our integration runs on infra you own. We deliver code; you deploy with your keys. If someone says 'just send the seed', they're an arnaque.

Starting points

Stacks we've integrated with.

Where Polymarket CLOB plugs into your existing system.

In-house OMS / EMS Direct event bus integration

Most common: you have a Kafka/RabbitMQ event bus

Most common: you have a Kafka/RabbitMQ event bus. We hook the CLOB client into it as a venue.

NautilusTrader / Hummingbot Strategy framework adapter

Open-source quant frameworks

Open-source quant frameworks. We ship adapters that expose Polymarket as a venue inside the framework's abstractions.

Spreadsheet / notebook desk REST wrapper for analysts

Quant analysts driving execution from notebooks

Quant analysts driving execution from notebooks. We ship a thin REST wrapper they can call from Python directly.
