Polymarket Market Importer

Auto-discover and import Polymarket markets matching your keywords, tags, and volume criteria. Runs on a schedule so you never miss a new market worth trading. Set your filters once — the skill handles the rest.

This is a template. The keywords, categories, and volume filters are yours to set. The skill handles the hunting — searching Polymarket on a schedule, filtering by your criteria, skipping what you've already seen, and importing the rest into Simmer. You configure the net, it catches the fish.

Setup

1. Install the SDK:

   bash

   pip install simmer-sdk
   

2. Set your API key:

   bash

   export SIMMER_API_KEY="sk_live_..."
   

3. Set your filters:

   bash

   python market_importer.py --set keywords=bitcoin,ethereum,solana
   python market_importer.py --set min_volume=25000
   

4. Dry run to verify:

   bash

   python market_importer.py
   

5. Go live:

   bash

   python market_importer.py --live

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
"No importable markets found"	Broaden your keywords or lower min_volume
"Import failed"	Daily quota may be hit (10/day free, 50/day Pro). Try next run.
"SIMMER_API_KEY not set"	Get your key from simmer.markets/dashboard → SDK tab
Markets not matching categories	Category filter checks question text and tags. Try different terms.

Schedule

Runs every 6 hours via cron (0 */6 * * *). Adjust in clawhub.json if needed.
