propheseer 1.0.0

Official Python SDK for the Propheseer prediction markets API

Propheseer Python SDK

Official Python SDK for the Propheseer prediction markets API. Access normalized data from Polymarket, Kalshi, and Gemini through a single, type-safe interface.

Installation

pip install propheseer

For WebSocket support (real-time market updates):

pip install propheseer[websocket]

Quick Start

from propheseer import Propheseer

client = Propheseer(
    api_key="pk_test_...",  # or set PROPHESEER_API_KEY env var
)

# List prediction markets
page = client.markets.list(source="polymarket", limit=10)
for market in page.data:
    print(f"{market.question}: {market.outcomes[0].probability:.0%}")

# Check your API key usage
result = client.keys.me()
print(f"Plan: {result.data.plan}, Daily usage: {result.data.usage.daily}")

Async Support

import asyncio
from propheseer import AsyncPropheseer

async def main():
    async with AsyncPropheseer(api_key="pk_test_...") as client:
        page = await client.markets.list(source="polymarket")
        for market in page.data:
            print(market.question)

asyncio.run(main())

Configuration

client = Propheseer(
    api_key="pk_test_...",                      # Required (or PROPHESEER_API_KEY env var)
    base_url="https://api.propheseer.com",      # Default
    timeout=30.0,                               # Request timeout in seconds (default: 30)
    max_retries=2,                              # Retries on 429/5xx errors (default: 2)
)

Resources

Markets

# List markets with filters
page = client.markets.list(
    source="polymarket",   # "polymarket" | "kalshi" | "gemini"
    category="politics",   # "politics" | "sports" | "finance" | ...
    status="open",
    q="election",          # search query
    limit=50,
    offset=0,
)

# Get a single market
result = client.markets.get("pm_12345")
market = result.data

# Auto-paginate through all markets
for market in client.markets.list_auto_paginate(source="kalshi"):
    print(market.question)

Categories

result = client.categories.list()
# [Category(id='politics', name='Politics', subcategories=['elections', ...]), ...]

Arbitrage (Pro+)

result = client.arbitrage.find(min_spread=0.05, category="politics")

for opp in result.data:
    print(f"{opp.question}: spread={opp.spread}, return={opp.potential_return}")

Unusual Trades (Pro+)

page = client.unusual_trades.list(
    reason="high_amount",
    since="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    limit=20,
)

for trade in page.data:
    print(f"${trade.trade.usdc_value} {trade.trade.side} on \"{trade.market.question}\"")

# Auto-paginate
for trade in client.unusual_trades.list_auto_paginate():
    print(trade.detection.reason, trade.detection.anomaly_score)

History (Business+)

# Market price history
result = client.history.list(market_id="pm_12345", days=7)

# Available snapshot dates
result = client.history.dates()

Ticker (Public)

# No auth required
result = client.ticker.list(limit=10)

Pagination

Paginated endpoints return a SyncPage[T] (or AsyncPage[T]) object:

page = client.markets.list(limit=50)
print(page.data)          # list[Market]
print(page.meta.total)    # total matching markets
print(page.has_more())    # bool
print(page.next_offset()) # int | None

For automatic pagination:

for market in client.markets.list_auto_paginate(limit=50, max_items=200):
    # yields individual items, fetching new pages as needed
    pass

Error Handling

All API errors are raised as typed exceptions:

from propheseer import PermissionDeniedError, RateLimitError, AuthenticationError

try:
    client.arbitrage.find()
except PermissionDeniedError as err:
    print(f"Upgrade to {err.required_plan} plan")
except RateLimitError as err:
    print(f"Rate limited, retry after {err.retry_after}s")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")

Error Class	Status	When
AuthenticationError	401	Missing or invalid API key
InsufficientCreditsError	402	Not enough credits
PermissionDeniedError	403	Plan upgrade required
NotFoundError	404	Resource not found
RateLimitError	429	Rate limit exceeded
InternalServerError	5xx	Server error
APIConnectionError	-	Network/timeout error

WebSocket (Real-Time Updates)

from propheseer import PropheseerWebSocket

ws = PropheseerWebSocket(
    api_key="pk_test_...",
    reconnect=True,              # Auto-reconnect (default: True)
    max_reconnect_attempts=5,    # Default: 5
    ping_interval=25.0,          # Keepalive interval (default: 25s)
)

@ws.on("connected")
def on_connected(msg):
    print(f"Connected: {msg['sessionId']} ({msg['plan']})")
    ws.subscribe(["pm_12345", "ks_67890"])

@ws.on("market_update")
def on_update(msg):
    print("Market update:", msg["market"])

@ws.on("error")
def on_error(err):
    print("Error:", err)

ws.connect()

# Later:
ws.unsubscribe(["pm_12345"])
ws.close()

Async WebSocket

import asyncio
from propheseer import AsyncPropheseerWebSocket

async def main():
    ws = AsyncPropheseerWebSocket(api_key="pk_test_...")

    ws.on("connected", lambda msg: print(f"Connected: {msg['sessionId']}"))
    ws.on("market_update", lambda msg: print("Update:", msg))

    await ws.connect()
    ws.subscribe(["pm_12345"])

    await asyncio.sleep(60)
    await ws.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Rate Limit Information

Every API response includes rate limit info:

page = client.markets.list()
print(page.rate_limit)
# RateLimitInfo(
#   plan='pro',
#   billing_type='subscription',
#   limit_day=10000,
#   remaining_day=9950,
#   limit_minute=100,
#   remaining_minute=98,
# )

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• httpx >= 0.24.0
• websockets >= 11.0 (optional, for WebSocket support)
