Prediction Market Odds

Prediction Market Odds

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Get current odds, prices, and market data from prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi.

When to Use

• User asks about prediction market odds
• User wants to know probability of an event
• User asks "what are the odds of [event]?"
• Research on market sentiment
• Election or event probability checks

Understanding Odds

• Prices are shown as decimals (0.65 = 65% probability)
• "Yes" price = probability market thinks event will happen
• Higher volume = more confidence/liquidity
• Prices change based on trading activity

Error Handling

• 400 - search requires status parameter (open or closed) — always include both
• 401 - Invalid API key
• 429 - Rate limit — wait and retry
• Empty markets array means no markets match the search term
• Activity endpoint returns recent trades globally — no filters required

Tips

• Check multiple markets for the same event
• Volume indicates market confidence
• Recent activity shows sentiment shifts
• Polymarket focuses on politics/world events, Kalshi on finance/weather
