## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README
## Kalshi Prediction Markets & Odds Scraper
> Pull prediction markets from Kalshi, the regulated US event exchange, and export clean structured data: the market question, event and category, Yes/No prices and implied odds, traded volume, resting liquidity, open interest, open and close dates, resolution status and the settled result. Filter by category, series, status and date, or look up specific markets by ticker for trading, research and journalism.
**📥 [Input](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/kalshi-markets-scraper/input-schema) · 📤 [Output](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/kalshi-markets-scraper/output-schema) · 💰 [Pricing](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/kalshi-markets-scraper/pricing) · ▶️ [Examples](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/kalshi-markets-scraper/examples)**
Question, event & category every market
Odds, volume, liquidity & OI plus resolution result
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What you get
Each record includes the **market ticker**, **event** and **series** tickers, the market **question** and **event title**, the **category**, what a **Yes** and **No** outcome mean, the **implied Yes probability** and **last price**, best **Yes/No bid and ask**, **traded volume** (all-time and 24h), resting **liquidity**, **open interest**, notional value, market **status**, whether it has **resolved** and the settled **result**, **open / close / expiration** dates, and a link to the event.
You only pay for real market records. Empty or failed runs are never charged. No API key required.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Trading & arbitrage | Traders and bots comparing implied odds and spotting mispriced markets |
| Research | Analysts studying how markets price politics, economics and sports |
| Journalism | Reporters citing live market-implied probabilities |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding odds, volume and open interest into their own apps |
### How to use it
1. Choose a **mode**: browse markets, or look up by ticker.
2. Set a **status** (open, closed, settled or all) and optionally filter by **categories**, **search text**, **series**, **min volume / liquidity** or a **close-date range**.
3. For lookup, pass **market tickers** or **event tickers**.
4. Set **Max Markets To Scrape** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**What does the price mean?**
Prices are in dollars from 0 to 1 and equal the market-implied probability. A Yes last price of 0.62 means the market prices the outcome at about 62 percent (also given as a percentage).
**Can I get only one category, like Politics or Sports?**
Yes. Add one or more categories to keep only matching markets, or use search text to match the question.
**Does it include resolved markets?**
Yes. Set status to settled to pull markets that have resolved, with the settled result, or all to get open and resolved together.
**How do I find a ticker?**
Market and event tickers appear on the market's Kalshi page. Use lookup mode with those tickers to pull them directly.
**How fresh is the data?**
Prices, volume and open interest are read live at run time, so each record reflects the market at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
