## 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 Scraper

Scrape Polymarket prediction markets, events, order books, trades, and tags via public APIs. No auth, no browser, no captchas.

### Features

- **Markets** — Fetch prediction markets with prices, volume, liquidity, outcomes, and resolution status
- **Events** — Fetch event groupings (multiple markets under one question)
- **Order Books** — Full bid/ask order book data for any market
- **Trade History** — Recent trades with prices, sizes, and trader info
- **Tags** — Discover all available categories for filtering

All data comes from Polymarket's public Gamma, CLOB, and Data APIs. No authentication required.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | Yes | `markets`, `events`, `orderbook`, `trades`, or `tags` |
| `queries` | array | No | Market/event slugs (leave empty to bulk-fetch all) |
| `limit` | integer | No | Max results (default: 100) |
| `closed` | boolean | No | Fetch closed/resolved markets instead of active (default: false) |
| `order` | string | No | Sort field: `volume24hr`, `volume`, `liquidity`, `startDate`, `endDate`, `createdAt` |
| `ascending` | boolean | No | Sort ascending (default: false = highest volume first) |
| `includeOrderBook` | boolean | No | Fetch full order book for each market (default: false) |
| `tagId` | integer | No | Filter by tag/category ID |

### Output

#### Markets
Each item: `id`, `question`, `slug`, `condition_id`, `description`, `outcomes`, `outcome_prices`, `best_bid`, `best_ask`, `last_trade_price`, `price_change_1h/1d/1w/1mo`, `volume`, `volume_24hr`, `liquidity`, `active`, `closed`, `start_date`, `end_date`, `category`, `order_books` (optional)

#### Events
Each item: `id`, `title`, `slug`, `description`, `category`, `volume`, `volume_24hr`, `liquidity`, `open_interest`, `market_count`, `market_ids`, `tags`, `start_date`, `end_date`

#### Order Books
Each item: `market_id`, `question`, `slug`, `order_books` (array of `{token_id, outcome, bids, asks, spread, mid_price}`)

#### Trades
Each item: `proxy_wallet`, `side`, `size`, `price`, `timestamp`, `title`, `slug`, `outcome`, `outcome_index`, `trader_name`, `transaction_hash`

#### Tags
Each item: `id`, `label`, `slug`

### Use Cases
