Polymarket Bot Skill
Overview
This skill enables the creation and operation of a Polymarket bot for tasks such as fetching active markets, monitoring prices, placing orders, and running strategies. It's designed for users involved in cryptocurrency prediction markets, helping automate interactions via the Polymarket APIs while minimizing risks.
Quick Start
To get started, use the scripts in this skill to initialize and run a basic bot. For example, execute scripts/fetch_markets.py to retrieve active markets, then use scripts/bot_strategy.py for arbitrage checks.
Task-Based Structure
This skill is organized by tasks from the SOP, providing modular components for bot development.
Step 1: Research and Setup Prerequisites
- Review Polymarket APIs (Gamma, CLOB, Data) as outlined in the SOP.
- Ensure tools like Python and Web3.py are installed.
- Reference
references/api_guide.md for detailed API usage.
Step 2: Define Bot Functionality and Strategy
- Implement core features like data fetching and trade execution.
- Use prompts in
references/prompts.md to generate code for strategies.
- Example: Run
scripts/strategy_logic.py for arbitrage detection.
Step 3: Development Phases
- Data Fetching Module: Use
scripts/fetch_markets.py to query markets.
- Authentication and Trading Setup: Handle in
scripts/auth_setup.py.
- Testing and Deployment: Test with
scripts/test_bot.py and deploy via references.
Step 4: Potential Challenges and Mitigations
- Reference
references/challenges.md for rate limits, fees, and security tips.
Step 5: Resources
- See below for scripts and references based on the SOP.
