Kalshi order execution

Place orders on Kalshi directly using your personal API key pair. All signing happens locally — your private key never leaves your machine.

1. Install trade dependencies

pip install veynor[trade]

This adds cryptography (for RSA signing) on top of the base install.

2. Generate a key pair and register it

# Generate RSA key pair
openssl genrsa -out kalshi_key.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in kalshi_key.pem -pubout   # copy this output

Paste the public key at kalshi.com/profile/api-keys and copy the resulting Key ID (a UUID).

3. Set credentials

export KALSHI_API_KEY_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
export KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/path/to/kalshi_key.pem

Or pass the PEM text directly:

export KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n..."

4. Trade

from veynor import KalshiTrader

trader = KalshiTrader()   # reads env vars automatically

# Account
print(trader.get_balance())    # { cash_usd, cash_cents, ... }
print(trader.get_positions())  # open positions

# Market buy — spend $50 on YES
result = trader.market_buy("KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", side="YES", amount_usd=50.0)
print(result["order_id"], result["status"])

# Limit buy — 100 contracts at 65¢
result = trader.limit_buy("KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", side="YES", price=0.65, count=100)

# Buy NO side
result = trader.limit_buy("KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", side="NO", price=0.40, count=50)

# Market sell
result = trader.market_sell("KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", side="YES", count=100)

# Limit sell
result = trader.limit_sell("KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", side="YES", price=0.72, count=100)

# Cancel an open order
trader.cancel_order(order_id)

# Open orders
orders = trader.get_open_orders()
orders = trader.get_open_orders(ticker="KXNBA-25JUL05-T204")

Via the REST API

Register credentials once (encrypted at rest — never returned in any response):

curl -X POST https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/credentials/kalshi \
  -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "kalshi_key_id": "your-uuid",
    "private_key": "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n..."
  }'

# Check status
curl -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/credentials/kalshi

# Remove stored credentials
curl -X DELETE -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/credentials/kalshi

Then place orders against your own Kalshi account:

# Limit buy — 100 YES contracts at 65¢
curl -X POST https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/trade/kalshi \
  -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"ticker": "KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", "action": "buy", "side": "YES", "count": 100, "price": 0.65}'

# Market sell
curl -X POST https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/trade/kalshi \
  -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  -d '{"ticker": "KXNBA-25JUL05-T204", "action": "sell", "side": "YES", "count": 100, "order_type": "market"}'

Each user's trades execute on their own Kalshi account. Credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest and scoped to your Veynor API key.

Errors and troubleshooting

Error	Fix
No Kalshi credentials registered	Call POST /v1/credentials/kalshi or set env vars
cryptography package not installed	Run pip install veynor[trade]
Kalshi API error (401)	Check that your Key ID matches the registered public key
Kalshi API error (403)	API key may be read-only — enable trading in Kalshi dashboard

---

Polymarket order execution

Place orders on Polymarket directly from Python. All signing happens locally — your private key never leaves your machine and is never sent to Veynor's servers.

Supports Polymarket V2 (live April 28, 2026): native EIP-712 signing, pUSD collateral, proxy wallet and plain EOA flows.

1. Install trade dependencies

pip install veynor[trade]

2. Set credentials

export POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...   # required — your EOA private key
export POLYMARKET_ADDRESS=0x...       # optional — proxy wallet address (Magic users)

If you set POLYMARKET_ADDRESS, orders are placed via your proxy wallet (signatureType 1). Without it, your EOA signs directly (signatureType 0).

3. Trade

# Check pUSD balance
veynor trade balance

# Open positions
veynor trade positions

# Market buy $50 of YES shares
veynor trade buy <token_id> --amount 50

# Neg-risk market (most multi-outcome markets)
veynor trade buy <token_id> --amount 50 --neg-risk

# Sell 100 shares
veynor trade sell <token_id> --shares 100

# Copy the latest whale trade
veynor trade copy
veynor trade copy --min-notional 50000 --amount 200 --yes

Python API

from veynor import PolymarketTrader

trader = PolymarketTrader()
print(trader.get_balance())

result = trader.market_buy(token_id, amount_usdc=50.0, neg_risk=True)
result = trader.limit_buy(token_id, price=0.72, size=10.0)
result = trader.market_sell(token_id, amount_shares=10.0)
result = trader.limit_sell(token_id, price=0.80, size=10.0)
orders = trader.get_open_orders()
trader.cancel_order(order_id)

Via the REST API (no-custody relay)

Sign the order with your wallet, pass the signature to Veynor. Your private key never touches our servers:

curl -X POST https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/trade/submit \
  -H "X-API-Key: vey_sk_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "order":     { ...eip712_order_fields... },
    "signature": "0x...",
    "wallet":    "0x...",
    "order_type": "GTC"
  }'

Errors and troubleshooting

Error	Fix
No private key found	Set POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY
Failed to derive API credentials	Key must be a valid hex string starting with 0x
Trading requires extra packages	Run pip install veynor[trade]
Trading restricted in your region	Polymarket geo-blocks certain IPs — use a non-restricted server
Order status unmatched	Insufficient liquidity — try a smaller amount

---

Whale following

veynor follow polls the whale feed on an interval and mirrors large trades directly to your Polymarket and/or Kalshi account.

Setup

Polymarket credentials (required):

export POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...
export POLYMARKET_ADDRESS=0x...

Kalshi credentials (optional — auto-detected if set):

export KALSHI_API_KEY_ID=<uuid>
export KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/path/to/key.pem
# or inline:
export KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\n..."

Usage

# Start with a dry run first — see what would trade without spending anything
veynor follow --amount 2 --dry-run

# Follow with $5 per copied trade, minimum $15k whale size
veynor follow --amount 5 --min-notional 15000

# Use 2% of balance per trade, $50/day cap, Politics markets only
veynor follow --pct 2 --max-daily 50 --category Politics

# Follow both YES and NO sides, poll every 15 seconds
veynor follow --amount 10 --sides ALL --interval 15

# Explicit venue list (default: auto-detect from env)
veynor follow --amount 3 --venues polymarket --venues kalshi

How it works

1. On startup, seeds all current whale trades as seen so no historical trades fire.
2. Every --interval seconds, fetches fresh whale trades from all active venues.
3. New trades (not seen before) are fingerprinted by (platform, market, side, notional) and persisted to ~/.veynor_seen_trades.json so restarts don't re-fire.
4. Polymarket trades: looks up the market by name to resolve token_id and neg_risk flag, then executes a market buy.
5. Kalshi trades: extracts the ticker from the market URL, maps the side (handles team names like "NO KANSAS CITY"), and executes a market buy.
6. Daily spend is tracked in memory and resets at midnight. Use --max-daily to cap total exposure.

Options

Flag	Default	Description
--amount	2.0	Fixed USDC per copied trade
--pct	—	% of balance per copied trade (mutually exclusive with --amount)
--min-notional	10000	Only copy trades at or above this size
--category	All	Filter to Sports, Politics, or Other
--sides	YES	YES, NO, or ALL
--max-daily	0	Daily USDC spend cap (0 = no cap)
--interval	30	Poll interval in seconds
--venues	auto	polymarket, kalshi, or both (repeat flag)
--dry-run	false	Log trades without executing
--verbose	false	Log every poll cycle, not just new trades

What's new in v1.4.7

• veynor portfolio — unified cross-venue portfolio view. Shows live balances and open positions across Kalshi and Polymarket in a single command. Auto-detects credentials; shows whichever venues are configured. Polymarket positions include avg price, current price, current value, and unrealized P&L. Kalshi positions show contract count and realized P&L.
• veynor positions — copy-trading journal for positions opened via veynor follow. Tracks entry price, exit price, and realized P&L per trade.
• Position tracking in veynor follow — every executed trade is now recorded. Supports automatic exits via --take-profit, --stop-loss, and --max-hold-hours. Positions persist across restarts.

What's new in v1.4.6

• Internal: position store and exit logic foundation (shipped as part of v1.4.7).

What's new in v1.4.5

• Kalshi-only following — veynor follow --venues kalshi no longer requires Polymarket credentials. Traders are now initialized only for the venues actually requested. Clear error messages guide Kalshi-only users to set KALSHI_API_KEY_ID and KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH instead of showing an irrelevant Polymarket key error.

What's new in v1.4.4

• Kalshi hotfix — corrects API base URL to external-api.kalshi.com, fixes RSA auth signing (query params excluded from signature path), fixes get_balance() response parsing, and adds find_ticker_by_slug() with team-suffix matching for sports markets. v1.4.3 had broken Kalshi support; upgrade to 1.4.4.

What's new in v1.4.3

• Whale following — veynor follow daemon mirrors large whale trades to your Polymarket and/or Kalshi account. Persistent dedup, daily spend cap, dry-run mode. Kalshi is auto-detected from env vars.
• Polymarket minimum contracts — market_buy now enforces the Polymarket minimum of 5 contracts per order, adjusting size up automatically when needed.
• Multi-venue following — a single follower instance can watch both Polymarket and Kalshi simultaneously. Use --venues to configure explicitly or let it auto-detect from credentials.

What's new in v1.4.2

• Market pulse — client.pulse() and veynor pulse CLI command. AI-synthesized plain-English briefing covering top markets, whale flow, price movers, volume spikes, and wide spreads. Powered by Claude Haiku on the server. 5 credits.
• Stale market filtering — pulse and signals automatically exclude markets past their close time so no expired data surfaces as actionable.
• Data freshness tracking — pulse response includes meta.data_freshness so you always know how old the underlying scanner data is.

What's new in v1.4.1

• Kalshi trading — KalshiTrader with market/limit orders on YES and NO, cancel, positions, balance. RSA key pair auth, non-custodial.
• Price history endpoint — GET /v1/markets/:venue/:id/history returns rolling ~1h of 60-second price snapshots with computed 5m/15m/1h moves.
• Market index enriched — search results now include end_date, spread_cents, and liquidity on every market.
• Polymarket signed-order relay — POST /v1/trade/submit for agents that sign locally and route through Veynor for builder attribution.
• Per-user credential storage — Kalshi keys stored AES-256-GCM encrypted per Veynor API key. Each user trades their own account.
