Polymarket Leaderboard Scraper — Top Traders, Wallets & PnL (No API)

Scrape the Polymarket leaderboard of top traders and most-profitable wallets in one run. This Actor pulls the curated top-wallet rankings across every Polymarket category — politics, crypto, sports, Trump-tagged and more — and returns each wallet ranked by PnL, ROI, win rate, average bet and USD volume, with smart-money tags and an optional per-wallet 24h deep-dive. Built on the public prediction-market leaderboard data for Polymarket (the largest on-chain prediction market, settled on Polygon). No API key, no login, no wallet connection.

🏆 Why this Polymarket leaderboard scraper?

30+ fields per wallet · up to ~1,000 unique top traders per run · smart-wallet top-200 + per-category top-100 lists · 1d / 7d / 30d / all-time intervals · optional 24h realized-profit overview · export to JSON / CSV / Excel. The unofficial Polymarket API alternative for copy-trading research, smart-money tracking and prediction-market analytics.

✨ What this Actor does / Key features

• 🏆 Top-trader rankings — pulls the smart-wallet leaderboard (~200 wallets per interval) plus per-category top-100 lists in a single run.
• ⏱️ Four lookback intervals — rank by 1d (24h), 7d, 30d or all-time, in any combination.
• 🗂️ Category coverage — Sports (1), Politics (2), Crypto (21), Trump-tagged (100265) and more; each interval × category pair is its own ranked list.
• 💰 Rich PnL metrics — profit (pnl), return on invested cash (roi), win rate, average bet, total USD volume plus buy/sell/transaction counts.
• 🏷️ Smart-money tags — every wallet carries tags like smart_money or top100_21, and an appearedIn list showing which rankings surfaced it.
• 🔬 Optional 24h deep-dive — turn on includeWalletOverview for wallet age, current portfolio value, lifetime profit, cash balance and 24h realized profit / buys / sells / cash flow.
• 🎯 Quality filters — drop weak rows by minimum PnL, ROI, win rate, USD volume or transaction count, and keep only chosen tags.
• 🔗 Ready profile links — polymarketUrl and futureNewsUrl for every wallet, plus de-duplication across intervals and categories.
• ⚡ Fast HTTP API reads — no browser, low cost per result; Apify Proxy supported for large runs.

🚀 Quick start (3 steps)

1. Configure — choose your Lookback Intervals (1d, 7d, 30d, all), keep Include Smart-Wallet Top 200 on and/or set Category IDs, then add any quality filters.
2. Run — click Start. The Actor fetches each ranking, merges and de-duplicates wallets, and streams rows into your dataset.
3. Get your data — open the Output tab and export to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or pull it via the Apify API.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it legal to scrape the Polymarket leaderboard? The Actor only collects publicly available leaderboard and wallet-ranking data. You are responsible for using it in compliance with the source's terms and applicable laws. This is not financial advice — always do your own research.

Does Polymarket have a public API? There is no open, key-free public API for the aggregated top-trader leaderboard. This Actor reads the public future.news leaderboard data that aggregates Polymarket traders, giving you structured rankings without an API key.

Is this a Polymarket API alternative? Yes. It works as an unofficial Polymarket API alternative for leaderboard and wallet data — no official API key, no login and no wallet connection are needed to pull the rankings.

Can I scrape Polymarket leaderboard data without an API or login? Yes. No Polymarket account, login, wallet connection or API key is required — only an Apify account. The Actor reads the public leaderboard data for you and returns a structured dataset of top traders.

How do I export Polymarket top traders to CSV or JSON? Run the Actor, then export the resulting dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML or JSONL from the run page or via the Apify API. It is a ready Polymarket top traders scraper for building a leaderboard dataset.

How much data can I get per run? Up to roughly 1,000 unique top traders after de-duplication — the smart-wallet list returns about 200 per interval, plus 100 per category per interval. Adding more intervals and categories multiplies the total.

Can I filter to only profitable smart-money wallets? Yes. Set thresholds for minimum PnL, ROI, win rate, volume and transactions, and use the tag filter to keep only smart_money or specific category-tagged wallets.

What is the difference between intervals and categories? Intervals are time windows (1d, 7d, 30d, all) that define the ranking period. Categories are Polymarket verticals (sports, politics, crypto, Trump-tagged). Every interval × category combination is a separate ranked list, and the Actor merges them into one de-duplicated dataset.

How do I find the most profitable wallets on Polymarket? Run the smart-wallet leaderboard and set minPnl or minWinRate thresholds to keep only consistently profitable top traders ranked by PnL, ROI and win rate.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not — leave Use Apify Proxy off. The direct datacenter origin passes the upstream Cloudflare check, while the residential proxy upstream is currently rejected. Only turn it on if you hit rate limits, and then prefer the datacenter group.
