polyoxide 0.18.1

Python SDK for Polymarket APIs (CLOB, Gamma, Data) — powered by Rust

Polyoxide

Python SDK for Polymarket APIs, powered by Rust via PyO3 and maturin.

Every client comes in async and sync variants. Async methods return Python awaitables; sync methods block via an internal Tokio runtime and release the GIL while waiting.

Async	Sync	API	Description
Gamma	GammaSync	Gamma	Market data, events, series, tags, comments, sports, search, users
ClobClient	ClobClientSync	CLOB	Order book, prices, spreads, trade history, fee rates
DataApi	DataApiSync	Data	User positions/trades/activity, leaderboard, holders, volume, open interest

Installation

pip install polyoxide

Wheels are published for Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (x86_64, aarch64), and Windows (x86_64).

Quick Start

Async (Gamma -- market data)

import asyncio
from polyoxide import Gamma

async def main():
    gamma = Gamma()
    markets = await gamma.markets().list(limit=5, open=True)
    for m in markets:
        print(f"{m.question}  --  {m.slug}")

asyncio.run(main())

Sync (Gamma)

from polyoxide import GammaSync

gamma = GammaSync()
markets = gamma.markets().list(limit=5, open=True)
for m in markets:
    print(f"{m.question}  --  {m.slug}")

CLOB (order book data)

from polyoxide import ClobClientSync

clob = ClobClientSync()
book = clob.markets().order_book("TOKEN_ID")
print(book.bids, book.asks)

spread = clob.markets().spread("TOKEN_ID")
print(spread)

Data API (user positions and leaderboard)

import asyncio
from polyoxide import DataApi

async def main():
    data = DataApi()

    # Leaderboard
    leaders = await data.leaderboard().get(limit=10, time_period="WEEK")
    for t in leaders:
        print(t.user_name, t.pnl)

    # User positions
    positions = await data.user("0xADDRESS").list_positions(limit=5)
    for p in positions:
        print(p.title, p.size)

asyncio.run(main())

Client API Reference

Gamma / GammaSync

Constructed with optional base_url, timeout_ms, and pool_size keyword arguments.

Namespace	Methods
.markets()	get(id), get_by_slug(slug), list(...), tags(id)
.events()	get(id), get_by_slug(slug), list(...), tags(id), tweet_count(id), comment_count(id)
.series()	get(id), list(...)
.tags()	get(id), get_by_slug(slug), list(...), get_related(id), get_related_by_slug(slug)
.comments()	get(id), list(...), by_user(address)
.sports()	list(), market_types(), list_teams(...)
.search()	public_search(query, ...)
.user()	get(address)
.health()	ping()

ClobClient / ClobClientSync

No arguments required (uses public/unauthenticated endpoints).

Namespace	Methods
.markets()	get(condition_id), get_by_token_ids(token_ids), list(), order_book(token_id), price(token_id, side), midpoint(token_id), prices_history(token_id), neg_risk(token_id), fee_rate(token_id), tick_size(token_id), spread(token_id), last_trade_price(token_id), live_activity(condition_id), simplified(), sampling(), sampling_simplified(), calculate_price(token_id, side, amount)
.health()	ping(), server_time()

DataApi / DataApiSync

Constructed with optional base_url, timeout_ms, and pool_size keyword arguments.

Namespace	Methods
.user(address)	list_positions(...), positions_value(...), closed_positions(...), trades(...), activity(...), traded()
.trades()	list(...)
.holders()	list(markets, ...)
.open_interest()	get(...)
.live_volume()	get(event_id)
.leaderboard()	get(...)
.builders()	leaderboard(...), volume(...)
.health()	ping()

Result Objects

All response objects expose named properties matching the upstream JSON fields, plus:

• .to_dict() -- convert to a plain Python dict
• str(obj) -- JSON string representation
• repr(obj) -- type-annotated representation

Error Handling

All exceptions inherit from PolyoxideError:

from polyoxide import PolyoxideError, ApiError, RateLimitError

try:
    markets = gamma.markets().list()
except RateLimitError:
    print("slow down")
except ApiError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")
except PolyoxideError as e:
    print(f"something else: {e}")

Exception	When
ApiError	API returned an error response
AuthenticationError	Invalid or missing credentials
ValidationError	Request parameters failed validation
RateLimitError	Rate limit exceeded (HTTP 429)
NetworkError	Connection failure
TimeoutError	Request timed out

Async Support

Async clients (Gamma, ClobClient, DataApi) use pyo3-async-runtimes to bridge Rust futures into Python awaitables. They work with asyncio.run(), await, and any asyncio-compatible event loop.

Sync clients (GammaSync, ClobClientSync, DataApiSync) execute on a shared background Tokio runtime and release the GIL while blocking, so they are safe to use from threaded Python code.

Type Stubs

A .pyi stub file is included at python/polyoxide/__init__.pyi for editor autocomplete and type checking.

Building from Source

Requires Rust and Python 3.9+.

pip install maturin
maturin develop --release
