## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Polymarket Markets Scraper

Scrapes markets and events from Polymarket's public Gamma API with pagination and filtering. It can also fetch public price history (Yes/No odds over time) for each market outcome.

Example input:

```json
{
  "status": "open",
  "maxMarkets": 250,
  "searchTerm": "election",
  "includeEvents": true,
  "includePriceHistory": false
}
````

Advanced input (optional): `minVolume` / `minLiquidity` (USD filters), `priceHistoryInterval` (Hourly / Every 6 hours / Daily / Weekly), `historyStartDate` / `historyEndDate` (`YYYY-MM-DD`), `marketSlugs` (keep only these slugs), `outcomeTokenIds` (fetch history for specific outcome tokens), and `discoverMarkets` (turn off to only pull price history for `outcomeTokenIds`).

Operational notes:

- No authentication required — uses the public Gamma API at `https://gamma-api.polymarket.com`.
- `searchTerm` keeps markets whose question or slug contains the text; `minVolume` / `minLiquidity` filter by USD size.
- Markets include parsed outcomes, outcome prices, volume, liquidity, and outcome token IDs.
- Events include nested market IDs and tags.
- Price history uses the public CLOB `/prices-history` endpoint.
- Pagination stops when a short page is returned or `maxMarkets` is reached.

# Actor input Schema

## `status` (type: `string`):

Which markets to include.

## `maxMarkets` (type: `integer`):

How many markets (and events) to collect.

## `searchTerm` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only keep markets whose question or slug contains this text (for example "election" or "bitcoin").

## `includeEvents` (type: `boolean`):

Also collect events (groups of related markets, with their tags).

## `includePriceHistory` (type: `boolean`):

Also collect the price chart over time for each market outcome (Yes/No odds history).

## `minVolume` (type: `number`):

Only keep markets with at least this much total traded volume in USD.

## `minLiquidity` (type: `number`):

Only keep markets with at least this much liquidity in USD.

## `priceHistoryInterval` (type: `string`):

How often to sample the price chart when "Include price history" is on.

## `historyStartDate` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only fetch price history on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `historyEndDate` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only fetch price history on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

## `marketSlugs` (type: `array`):

Optional. Keep only markets with these exact slugs (from the market's Polymarket URL).

## `outcomeTokenIds` (type: `array`):

Optional. Fetch price history for these specific outcome token IDs directly. Combine with turning "Include events" off to only pull price history.

## `discoverMarkets` (type: `boolean`):

Browse and collect markets. Turn this off to only fetch price history for the outcome token IDs above.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "status": "open",
  "maxMarkets": 250,
  "includeEvents": true,
  "includePriceHistory": false,
  "minVolume": 0,
  "minLiquidity": 0,
  "priceHistoryInterval": "1d",
  "discoverMarkets": true
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("felt/polymarket-markets-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("felt/polymarket-markets-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
