## Why polyws?
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
Polymarket has two APIs, no official Python streaming library, and a multi-step lookup just to get real-time prices. polyws solves all of that.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
### The problem
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
To stream live Polymarket data in Python today, you need to:
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
1. Query the **Gamma API** to discover markets and extract `clobTokenIds`
|
|
49
|
+
2. Connect to the **CLOB WebSocket** with a handshake protocol
|
|
50
|
+
3. Manage subscriptions, reconnections, and ping/pong keepalive
|
|
51
|
+
4. Maintain an order book cache to compute display prices
|
|
52
|
+
5. Implement Polymarket's [price calculation logic](https://docs.polymarket.com/polymarket-learn/trading/how-are-prices-calculated#future-price) (midpoint when spread ≤ $0.10, last trade price otherwise)
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
That's ~500 lines of async boilerplate before you write a single line of business logic.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
### What polyws gives you
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+
```python
|
|
59
|
+
stream = WSSubscriptionManager(handlers)
|
|
60
|
+
await stream.add_subscriptions(asset_ids)
|
|
61
|
+
# Done. Events flow to your handlers.
|
|
62
|
+
```
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
- Automatic WebSocket connection, reconnection, and keepalive
|
|
65
|
+
- Subscription batching with event-driven flush (no polling)
|
|
66
|
+
- Order book cache with sorted bid/ask levels
|
|
67
|
+
- Derived display prices matching the Polymarket UI
|
|
68
|
+
- CLI for discovery and streaming without writing code
|
|
69
|
+
- JSON Lines output for piping into other tools and agents
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+

**polyws is not a trading client.** It does one thing — real-time data streaming — and does it well. Use it alongside `py-clob-client` for a complete Python trading stack.

|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
### Browse markets
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
```bash
|
|
96
|
+
# Top 20 markets by volume
|
|
97
|
+
polyws markets
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
# Search
|
|
100
|
+
polyws markets --search "bitcoin" --limit 5
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
# Sort options: volume (default), liquidity, newest
|
|
103
|
+
polyws markets --sort liquidity --limit 10
|
|
104
|
+
```
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
### Stream real-time data
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
```bash
|
|
109
|
+
# Stream top 10 markets
|
|
110
|
+
polyws stream --markets 10
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
# Stream specific assets
|
|
113
|
+
polyws stream --asset-id 4655345557056451798919...
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
# Search and stream
|
|
116
|
+
polyws stream --search "election"
|
|
117
|
+
```
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
### Output format
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
polyws auto-detects the output context:
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
- **Terminal (TTY):** Human-readable, formatted, colored
|
|
124
|
+
- **Piped / redirected:** JSON Lines — one JSON object per line
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
```bash
|
|
127
|
+
# Human output
|
|
128
|
+
polyws markets --limit 3
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
# 99.7% $58.7M Will there be no change in Fed rates... [10255981...]
|
|
131
|
+
# 0.2% $53.5M Will the Fed decrease rates by 25... [62938043...]
|
|
132
|
+
# 0.1% $48.3M Will the Fed decrease rates by 50+... [46553455...]
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
# Machine output (piped)
|
|
135
|
+
polyws markets --limit 1 | jq .
|
|
136
|
+
# {"asset_id": "102559...", "question": "Will there be...", "volume": 58739675, "price": "0.9965"}
|
|
137
|
+
```
|
|
138
|
+
|
|
139
|
+
This makes polyws natively usable by AI agents — pipe the output, parse the JSON, act on it.

### WSSubscriptionManager
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
```python
|
|
148
|
+
from polyws import WSSubscriptionManager, WebSocketHandlers
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
handlers = WebSocketHandlers(
|
|
151
|
+
on_book=my_book_handler,
|
|
152
|
+
on_price_change=my_change_handler,
|
|
153
|
+
on_last_trade_price=my_trade_handler,
|
|
154
|
+
on_tick_size_change=my_tick_handler,
|
|
155
|
+
on_polymarket_price_update=my_price_handler, # Derived display price
|
|
156
|
+
on_error=my_error_handler,
|
|
157
|
+
on_ws_open=my_open_handler,
|
|
158
|
+
on_ws_close=my_close_handler,
|
|
159
|
+
)
|
|
160
|
+
|
|
161
|
+
manager = WSSubscriptionManager(handlers, reconnect_interval_s=5.0)
|
|
162
|
+
```
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
All handlers are `async`, optional, and receive a list of typed events.

|
177
|
+
from polyws import fetch_markets, extract_asset_ids

markets = fetch_markets(limit=10, sort="volume", search="crypto")
|
|
180
|
+
assets = extract_asset_ids(markets) # {asset_id: question, ...}
|
|
181
|
+
```
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
### Event Types
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
| Event | When | Key Fields |
|
|
186
|
+
|-------|------|------------|
|
|
187
|
+
| `BookEvent` | Full order book snapshot on subscribe | `bids`, `asks`, `asset_id` |
|
|
188
|
+
| `PriceChangeEvent` | Order book level added/removed/updated | `price_changes[].side`, `price`, `size` |
|
|
189
|
+
| `LastTradePriceEvent` | A trade executes | `price`, `side`, `size` |
|
|
190
|
+
| `TickSizeChangeEvent` | Tick size changes | `old_tick_size`, `new_tick_size` |
|
|
191
|
+
| `PolymarketPriceUpdateEvent` | Derived display price changes | `price`, `midpoint`, `spread`, `triggering_event` |
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
### How display prices work
|
|
194
|
+
|
|
195
|
+
Polymarket doesn't show raw bid/ask prices. It shows a **derived price**:
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
- If bid-ask spread ≤ $0.10 → display the **midpoint**
|
|
198
|
+
- If bid-ask spread > $0.10 → display the **last trade price**
|
|
199
|
+
|
|
200
|
+
`on_polymarket_price_update` fires whenever this derived price changes. This matches what you see on polymarket.com.

## For AI Agents
|
|
205
|
+
|
|
206
|
+
polyws is designed as a tool for AI agents that need real-time market intelligence.
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
**As a CLI tool:**
|
|
209
|
+
```bash
|
|
210
|
+
# Agent discovers markets about a topic
|
|
211
|
+
polyws markets --search "AI" --limit 5 | jq -r '.question'
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
# Agent monitors prices and acts on thresholds
|
|
214
|
+
polyws stream --search "bitcoin" | while read line; do
|
|
215
|
+
price=$(echo "$line" | jq -r 'select(.event=="price_update") | .price')
|
|
216
|
+
# ... agent logic ...
|
|
217
|
+
done
|
|
218
|
+
```
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
**As a Python library:**
|
|
221
|
+
```python
|
|
222
|
+
# Agent builds a real-time market monitor
|
|
223
|
+
from polyws import WSSubscriptionManager, WebSocketHandlers, fetch_markets, extract_asset_ids
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
markets = fetch_markets(search="election", limit=20)
|
|
226
|
+
assets = extract_asset_ids(markets)
|
|
227
|
+
|
|
228
|
+
async def on_update(events):
|
|
229
|
+
for e in events:
|
|
230
|
+
if float(e.price) > 0.9:
|
|
231
|
+
await alert(f"High confidence: {assets[e.asset_id]} at {e.price}")
|
|
232
|
+
|
|
233
|
+
mgr = WSSubscriptionManager(WebSocketHandlers(on_polymarket_price_update=on_update))
|
|
234
|
+
await mgr.add_subscriptions(list(assets.keys()))
|
|
235
|
+
```
|
|
236
|
+
|
|
237
|
+
**Why agents prefer polyws over alternatives:**
|
|
238
|
+
- JSON Lines output — no parsing HTML or tables
|
|
239
|
+
- Zero config — no API keys needed for read-only streaming
|
|
240
|
+
- Predictable schema — every event is typed and documented
|
|
241
|
+
- Instant — WebSocket, not polling REST endpoints
|
|
242
|
+
- Composable — pipe into `jq`, `grep`, other tools, or import as a library
|
|

|
|
286
|
+
[poly-websockets](https://github.com/nevuamarkets/poly-websockets) by Nevua Markets — the TypeScript library that pioneered this approach. polyws is a Python rewrite with performance improvements (event-driven flush, bisect-based order book) and a CLI layer for agents and humans.

## Why polyws?
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
Polymarket has two APIs, no official Python streaming library, and a multi-step lookup just to get real-time prices. polyws solves all of that.
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
### The problem
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
To stream live Polymarket data in Python today, you need to:
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
1. Query the **Gamma API** to discover markets and extract `clobTokenIds`
|
|
35
|
+
2. Connect to the **CLOB WebSocket** with a handshake protocol
|
|
36
|
+
3. Manage subscriptions, reconnections, and ping/pong keepalive
|
|
37
|
+
4. Maintain an order book cache to compute display prices
|
|
38
|
+
5. Implement Polymarket's [price calculation logic](https://docs.polymarket.com/polymarket-learn/trading/how-are-prices-calculated#future-price) (midpoint when spread ≤ $0.10, last trade price otherwise)
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
That's ~500 lines of async boilerplate before you write a single line of business logic.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
### What polyws gives you
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
```python
|
|
45
|
+
stream = WSSubscriptionManager(handlers)
|
|
46
|
+
await stream.add_subscriptions(asset_ids)
|
|
47
|
+
# Done. Events flow to your handlers.
|
|
48
|
+
```
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
- Automatic WebSocket connection, reconnection, and keepalive
|
|
51
|
+
- Subscription batching with event-driven flush (no polling)
|
|
52
|
+
- Order book cache with sorted bid/ask levels
|
|
53
|
+
- Derived display prices matching the Polymarket UI
|
|
54
|
+
- CLI for discovery and streaming without writing code
|
|
55
|
+
- JSON Lines output for piping into other tools and agents
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+

## CLI
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
### Browse markets
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
```bash
|
|
82
|
+
# Top 20 markets by volume
|
|
83
|
+
polyws markets
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
# Search
|
|
86
|
+
polyws markets --search "bitcoin" --limit 5
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
# Sort options: volume (default), liquidity, newest
|
|
89
|
+
polyws markets --sort liquidity --limit 10
|
|
90
|
+
```
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
### Stream real-time data
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
```bash
|
|
95
|
+
# Stream top 10 markets
|
|
96
|
+
polyws stream --markets 10
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
# Stream specific assets
|
|
99
|
+
polyws stream --asset-id 4655345557056451798919...
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
# Search and stream
|
|
102
|
+
polyws stream --search "election"
|
|
103
|
+
```
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
### Output format
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
polyws auto-detects the output context:
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
- **Terminal (TTY):** Human-readable, formatted, colored
|
|
110
|
+
- **Piped / redirected:** JSON Lines — one JSON object per line
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
```bash
|
|
113
|
+
# Human output
|
|
114
|
+
polyws markets --limit 3
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
# 99.7% $58.7M Will there be no change in Fed rates... [10255981...]
|
|
117
|
+
# 0.2% $53.5M Will the Fed decrease rates by 25... [62938043...]
|
|
118
|
+
# 0.1% $48.3M Will the Fed decrease rates by 50+... [46553455...]
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
# Machine output (piped)
|
|
121
|
+
polyws markets --limit 1 | jq .
|
|
122
|
+
# {"asset_id": "102559...", "question": "Will there be...", "volume": 58739675, "price": "0.9965"}
|
|
123
|
+
```
|
|
124
|
+
|
|
125
|
+
This makes polyws natively usable by AI agents — pipe the output, parse the JSON, act on it.

### WSSubscriptionManager
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
```python
|
|
134
|
+
from polyws import WSSubscriptionManager, WebSocketHandlers
|
|
135
|
+
|
|
136
|
+
handlers = WebSocketHandlers(
|
|
137
|
+
on_book=my_book_handler,
|
|
138
|
+
on_price_change=my_change_handler,
|
|
139
|
+
on_last_trade_price=my_trade_handler,
|
|
140
|
+
on_tick_size_change=my_tick_handler,
|
|
141
|
+
on_polymarket_price_update=my_price_handler, # Derived display price
|
|
142
|
+
on_error=my_error_handler,
|
|
143
|
+
on_ws_open=my_open_handler,
|
|
144
|
+
on_ws_close=my_close_handler,
|
|
145
|
+
)
|
|
146
|
+
|
|
147
|
+
manager = WSSubscriptionManager(handlers, reconnect_interval_s=5.0)
|
|
148
|
+
```
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
All handlers are `async`, optional, and receive a list of typed events.
|
|
151

|
+
| Method | Description |
|
|
153
|
+
|--------|-------------|
|
|
154
|
+
| `await add_subscriptions(ids)` | Subscribe to assets. Connects automatically. |
|
|
155
|
+
| `await remove_subscriptions(ids)` | Unsubscribe from assets. |
|
|
156
|
+
| `get_asset_ids()` | List all monitored assets. |
|
|
157
|
+
| `get_statistics()` | Connection stats (`open_websockets`, `asset_ids`, `pending_subscribe`, `pending_unsubscribe`). |
|
|
158
|
+
| `await clear_state()` | Full teardown. Manager is reusable after. |
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
### Market Discovery
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+
```python
|
|
163
|
+
from polyws import fetch_markets, extract_asset_ids
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
markets = fetch_markets(limit=10, sort="volume", search="crypto")
|
|
166
|
+
assets = extract_asset_ids(markets) # {asset_id: question, ...}
|
|
167
|
+
```
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
### Event Types
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
| Event | When | Key Fields |
|
|
172
|
+
|-------|------|------------|
|
|
173
|
+
| `BookEvent` | Full order book snapshot on subscribe | `bids`, `asks`, `asset_id` |
|
|
174
|
+
| `PriceChangeEvent` | Order book level added/removed/updated | `price_changes[].side`, `price`, `size` |
|
|
175
|
+
| `LastTradePriceEvent` | A trade executes | `price`, `side`, `size` |
|
|
176
|
+
| `TickSizeChangeEvent` | Tick size changes | `old_tick_size`, `new_tick_size` |
|
|
177
|
+
| `PolymarketPriceUpdateEvent` | Derived display price changes | `price`, `midpoint`, `spread`, `triggering_event` |
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
### How display prices work
|
|
180
|
+
|
|
181
|
+
Polymarket doesn't show raw bid/ask prices. It shows a **derived price**:
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
- If bid-ask spread ≤ $0.10 → display the **midpoint**
|
|
184
|
+
- If bid-ask spread > $0.10 → display the **last trade price**
|
|
185
|
+
|
|
186
|
+
`on_polymarket_price_update` fires whenever this derived price changes. This matches what you see on polymarket.com.

## For AI Agents
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
polyws is designed as a tool for AI agents that need real-time market intelligence.
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
**As a CLI tool:**
|
|
195
|
+
```bash
|
|
196
|
+
# Agent discovers markets about a topic
|
|
197
|
+
polyws markets --search "AI" --limit 5 | jq -r '.question'
|
|
198
|
+
|
|
199
|
+
# Agent monitors prices and acts on thresholds
|
|
200
|
+
polyws stream --search "bitcoin" | while read line; do
|
|
201
|
+
price=$(echo "$line" | jq -r 'select(.event=="price_update") | .price')
|
|
202
|
+
# ... agent logic ...
|
|
203
|
+
done
|
|
204
|

|

**As a Python library:**
|
|
207
|
+
```python
|
|
208
|
+
# Agent builds a real-time market monitor
|
|
209
|
+
from polyws import WSSubscriptionManager, WebSocketHandlers, fetch_markets, extract_asset_ids
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
markets = fetch_markets(search="election", limit=20)
|
|
212
|
+
assets = extract_asset_ids(markets)
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
async def on_update(events):
|
|
215
|
+
for e in events:
|
|
216
|
+
if float(e.price) > 0.9:
|
|
217
|
+
await alert(f"High confidence: {assets[e.asset_id]} at {e.price}")
|
|
218
|
+
|
|
219
|
+
mgr = WSSubscriptionManager(WebSocketHandlers(on_polymarket_price_update=on_update))
|
|
220
|
+
await mgr.add_subscriptions(list(assets.keys()))
|
|
221
|
+
```
|
|
222
|
+
|
|
223
|
+
**Why agents prefer polyws over alternatives:**
|
|
224
|
+
- JSON Lines output — no parsing HTML or tables
|
|
225
|
+
- Zero config — no API keys needed for read-only streaming
|
|
226
|
+
- Predictable schema — every event is typed and documented
|
|
227
|
+
- Instant — WebSocket, not polling REST endpoints
|
|
228
|
+
- Composable — pipe into `jq`, `grep`, other tools, or import as a library

## Inspired by
|
|
271
|
+
|
|
272
|
+
[poly-websockets](https://github.com/nevuamarkets/poly-websockets) by Nevua Markets — the TypeScript library that pioneered this approach. polyws is a Python rewrite with performance improvements (event-driven flush, bisect-based order book) and a CLI layer for agents and humans.
