## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Prediction Market Intelligence Engine 🔮 v3.0

**Cross-platform prediction market aggregator producing actionable trading signals — not just raw data.**

Aggregates **Polymarket**, **Kalshi**, **Manifold**, and **PredictIt** (US political markets). Runs AI-powered intelligence briefs via DeepSeek.

### Why Traders Use This

Existing scrapers dump raw JSON. This Actor gives you **signals you can trade on**:

| Signal | What It Detects | Trader Action |
|--------|----------------|---------------|
| **Arbitrage** | Same event, different odds (cross-platform) | Risk-free spread capture |
| **Whale Alerts** | $10K+ volume on contested markets | Follow the smart money |
| **Volume Anomalies** | 30%+ of total volume in past 24h | Front-run breaking events |
| **Momentum Leaders** | Strongest directional conviction | Trend-following entries |
| **Dead Cat Bounces** | Extreme price + sudden volume | Avoid traps / short the bounce |
| **Price Surgers** | 4%+ move in 1h or 8%+ in 24h | Momentum trading |
| **Expiry Urgency** | Markets resolving within 7 days | Last-minute positioning |
| **Risk Rankings** | Composite risk score (price + volume + expiry) | Position sizing |

### What's New in v3.0

- **PredictIt** — largest US political prediction market added
- **Smart filtering** — removes dead markets (zero volume/liquidity)
- **Risk scoring** — composite risk per market (price extremity × volume × expiry)
- **Expiry urgency** — flag markets resolving this week
- **Upgraded AI brief** — bolder, more actionable, no hedging

| `maxMarketsPerPlatform` | integer | `200` | Results per platform (50-500) |
| `includeRawData` | boolean | `false` | Include full raw market listings |
| `includeSignals` | boolean | `true` | Compute trading signals |
| `kalshiApiKey` | string | — | Kalshi API key (optional) |
