Polymarket Bot Skill

Overview

This skill enables the creation and operation of a Polymarket bot for tasks such as fetching active markets, monitoring prices, placing orders, and running strategies. It's designed for users involved in cryptocurrency prediction markets, helping automate interactions via the Polymarket APIs while minimizing risks.

Quick Start

To get started, use the scripts in this skill to initialize and run a basic bot. For example, execute scripts/fetch_markets.py to retrieve active markets, then use scripts/bot_strategy.py for arbitrage checks.

Task-Based Structure

This skill is organized by tasks from the SOP, providing modular components for bot development.

Step 1: Research and Setup Prerequisites

Review Polymarket APIs (Gamma, CLOB, Data) as outlined in the SOP.
Ensure tools like Python and Web3.py are installed.
Reference references/api_guide.md for detailed API usage.

Step 2: Define Bot Functionality and Strategy

Implement core features like data fetching and trade execution.
Use prompts in references/prompts.md to generate code for strategies.
Example: Run scripts/strategy_logic.py for arbitrage detection.

Step 3: Development Phases

Data Fetching Module: Use scripts/fetch_markets.py to query markets.
Authentication and Trading Setup: Handle in scripts/auth_setup.py.
Testing and Deployment: Test with scripts/test_bot.py and deploy via references.

Step 4: Potential Challenges and Mitigations

Reference references/challenges.md for rate limits, fees, and security tips.

Step 5: Resources

See below for scripts and references based on the SOP.

Resources

scripts/

fetch_markets.py: Script to fetch and parse market data from Polymarket APIs.
auth_setup.py: Handles authentication and deriving API keys.
strategy_logic.py: Implements bot strategies like arbitrage.
bot_integration.py: Combines phases into a full bot script.

references/

api_guide.md: Documentation on Polymarket APIs and setup.
strategy_examples.md: Examples of prompts for code generation.
challenges.md: Common issues and mitigations for bot development.
