Polymarket Gamma vs Data vs CLOB API: Which One Does Your Bot Need?
Polymarket API architecture: market discovery, account data and live order-book execution.
Polymarket API architecture: market discovery, account data and live order-book execution.
Gamma API
Use Gamma for market metadata, events, tags and discovery. Cache descriptive data, but do not treat it as the low-latency execution feed.
Data API
Use the public Data API for positions, trades, activity and holder analytics. It is valuable for research, wallet tracking and reconciliation.
CLOB API
Use CLOB endpoints for books, prices, history and authenticated order management. A trading bot must maintain book sequence and separate public data from signed actions.
Architecture
Join APIs through stable condition and token identifiers, timestamp responses and degrade safely when one surface is unavailable.
