• title, subtitle, description – Human-readable market copy.
• categories, tags, market_type, status – Classification and lifecycle hints.
• yes_price, no_price, last_trade_price, volume – Key pricing and liquidity metrics (when available).
• settlement_timing, resolution_source, rules – Details on how the contract resolves.
• listingUrl – Original market URL (for listing runs).
• Timestamps such as created_at, last_traded_at, close_date, and more depending on the market.

Outputs are normalized and deduplicated so you can sort, filter, or pivot immediately.
