Polymarket Command Center

Real-time prediction market data for OpenClaw — no API key required.

Commands

odds [slug]

Get detailed odds for a specific market by slug or search term.

odds [slug]
odds [search term]

Examples:

odds will-trump-win-2024 — exact slug match
odds bitcoin — search for markets containing "bitcoin"
odds fed rate cut march — multi-term search

Output:

Full market question
Outcome probabilities with visual bar chart (█ filled, ░ empty)
24h trading volume
Market liquidity
Close date (absolute + days remaining)
Market description (truncated to 200 chars)
Live CLOB midpoint (if available)
Direct link to Polymarket web interface

Search behavior: If exact slug fails, performs client-side text search across market questions, slugs, and descriptions.

search [query]

Search across 100 active markets by text. Client-side filtering for instant results.

search [query]
search [term1] [term2] [term3]

Examples:

search bitcoin — single term
search bitcoin 100k — all terms must match
search fed interest rate — multi-word search
search election 2024 — phrase search

Output:

Up to 8 matching markets
Question, yes probability, volume, slug for each

Search logic: All query terms must appear in the market question, slug, or description (case-insensitive). Searches are cached for 2 minutes.

watchlist

Check odds on your configured watchlist markets.

watchlist

Output:

Current odds for each market on your watchlist
Volume, close date for each

Configuration: Add market slugs to ~/.openclaw/state/polymarket_watchlist.json:

{
  "slugs": [
    "will-trump-win-2024",
    "bitcoin-above-100k",
    "fed-rate-cut-march-2026"
  ]
}

Or via ~/.openclaw/config.yaml:

polymarket:
  watchlist:
    - will-trump-win-2024
    - bitcoin-above-100k
    - fed-rate-cut-march-2026

Data Source & Architecture

No API Key Required

Polymarket Command Center uses only public APIs:

Gamma API (https://gamma-api.polymarket.com) — Market metadata, outcomes, pricing
CLOB API (https://clob.polymarket.com) — Live bid/ask midpoints

Zero authentication. Zero credentials. Pure HTTP.

Thread-Safe Caching

In-memory cache with automatic eviction:

TTL: 120 seconds default (180s for trending, 120s for search)
Max entries: 100 (LRU eviction when full)
Thread-safe: Reentrant locks for concurrent requests
Smart invalidation: Expired entries auto-deleted on next access

CLOB Midpoints

The "Live midpoint" shown in odds details comes from CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) — Polymarket's on-chain order book. This represents the true real-time bid/ask spread. Falls back gracefully if CLOB data is unavailable.

Response Codes

Status	Meaning	Action

💡	Tip	Suggested next action

Cache Behavior

First call: Hits Polymarket API, caches result
Repeated calls (within TTL): Returns cached data instantly
Stale data (past TTL): Cache evicted, fresh API call triggered
Bounded memory: Max 100 entries; oldest evicted when full
Thread-safe: Safe for concurrent requests (e.g., morning brief + user query)

Example timeline:

14:30:00 - User: "trending"
           → API call → cache set (expires 14:32:00)
           → response with 10 markets

14:30:45 - User: "trending"
           → cache hit (28s old)
           → instant response (same data)

14:32:15 - User: "trending"
           → cache miss (expired 15s ago)
           → API call → cache set (expires 14:34:15)
           → response with fresh data

Configuration (Optional)

All commands work without any configuration. Optional settings in ~/.openclaw/config.yaml:

polymarket:
  enabled: true
  watchlist:
    - will-trump-win-2024
    - bitcoin-above-100k
    - fed-rate-cut-march-2026
  categories:
    - politics
    - crypto
    - sports

No config needed — defaults work for all commands.

Supported Market Categories

Gamma API returns markets tagged with these common categories:

politics — Elections, political outcomes
crypto — Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, blockchain
sports — NFL, NBA, Premier League, Olympic Games
entertainment — Movies, award shows, celebrity news
economics — Fed rates, inflation, jobs data
weather — Extreme weather events
science — Space, breakthrough discoveries
business — Tech IPOs, M&A, earnings

Custom tags may appear; Gamma API returns whatever is configured.

Implementation Details

HTTP Client

User-Agent: OpenClaw-Polymarket/1.0
Timeout: 10 seconds per request
Accept: application/json
No cookies; stateless requests

Error Handling

Network timeouts → graceful "couldn't reach Polymarket"
Malformed JSON → ignored, fallback to empty results
Unicode decode errors → handled silently

Outcome Parsing

Polymarket API returns outcomes and prices as JSON-stringified arrays. Command Center auto-detects format (string vs. array) and parses both.

Binary markets: ["Yes", "No"] outcomes with [yes_price, no_price]

Categorical markets: ["Trump", "Harris", "RFK Jr"] with corresponding prices.

Limitations & Notes

Read-only: No trading, no account creation
Public data only: No private market insights
Gamma API limits: ~100 markets per request (used in search)
CLOB midpoints: May be unavailable for some markets (graceful fallback)
Pricing: Outcomes always shown as decimal probabilities (0.68 = 68%)
Closed markets: Excluded from trending/search; archived on Polymarket

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
"Couldn't reach Polymarket"	Retry in 1 minute; check internet
"No markets found for..."	Try broader search term; check spelling
"No watchlist configured"	Add watchlist to config.yaml or create ~/.openclaw/state/polymarket_watchlist.json
Cached data looks stale	Cache TTL is 2 minutes; wait or restart service
CLOB midpoint missing	Market may not have CLOB tokens yet (new markets)
