Polymarket Leaderboard Scraper

Extract top Polymarket traders from the public leaderboard with rank, profit, volume, wallet, profile, X/Twitter, category, and time-window metadata.

What does Polymarket Leaderboard Scraper do?

Polymarket Leaderboard Scraper collects public trader leaderboard rows from Polymarket. It uses Polymarket's public data API, so it is fast, lightweight, and does not need a login. You can scrape the overall leaderboard or focus on categories such as crypto, sports, politics, finance, economics, tech, weather, culture, mentions, and esports. You can rank traders by profit or by volume. You can run one leaderboard URL or many category/time-range/rank combinations in the same Actor run.

Who is it for?

Prediction-market traders use it to monitor the accounts currently winning on Polymarket. Crypto analysts use it to connect Polymarket profiles with proxy wallet addresses. Wallet intelligence teams use it to build recurring watchlists of high-volume or high-PnL traders. Market researchers use it to compare category-level performance across politics, sports, crypto, finance, and more. Data teams use it to feed dashboards, spreadsheets, alerts, and enrichment pipelines.

Why use this scraper?

✅ It returns typed rows instead of screenshots or unstructured HTML. ✅ It supports profit and volume rankings. ✅ It supports Polymarket's public category and time-range filters. ✅ It includes source URLs so every row is traceable. ✅ It can save hundreds of leaderboard rows in a small HTTP-only run. ✅ It does not require cookies, private accounts, browser automation, or residential proxies.

How to run it on Apify

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Choose URL mode or selector mode.
3. Keep maxItemsPerCombination small for a quick first run.
4. Click Start.
5. Download results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML table.

Tips for better results

Start with overall + monthly + profit if you want a broad snapshot. Use all + volume to find historically active wallets. Use crypto or sports categories for category-specific trading intelligence. Use multiple categories in one run when you want a dashboard-ready dataset. Increase maxItemsPerCombination only when you need deeper ranks.

Integrations

Send results to Google Sheets for analyst review. Push wallet addresses into a Polygon wallet enrichment pipeline. Join the output with market, trade, or event datasets from related Polymarket workflows. Trigger a webhook when a known wallet enters a top rank. Store daily snapshots in a database to track leaderboard movements over time.

Legality and responsible use

This Actor extracts public leaderboard data from Polymarket. It does not bypass login-only content. It does not place trades. It does not access private user accounts. You are responsible for using the output in accordance with applicable laws, platform terms, and privacy obligations.

Troubleshooting

If a run returns fewer rows than requested, Polymarket may not expose more rows for that filter. Try a broader category such as overall or a broader time range such as all.

If a pasted URL is ignored, make sure it contains /leaderboard/ and follows the Polymarket pattern /leaderboard/{category}/{timeRange}/{rankType}.

If you need historical rank changes, schedule this Actor daily and compare snapshots by proxyWallet, category, timeRange, and rankType.

FAQ

Do I need a Polymarket account?

No. The Actor reads public leaderboard data.

Can I scrape both profit and volume in one run?

Can I scrape several categories at once?

Yes. Add multiple values to categories.

Does it expose wallet addresses?

It returns the public proxy wallet address when Polymarket exposes it on the leaderboard API.

Is this a trading bot?

No. It only extracts public leaderboard data.
