Shipp — Real-Time Sports Data + MoonPay Trading
Overview
Shipp gives AI agents live, authoritative sports data — schedules, scores, and events as they happen. Pair it with a MoonPay-managed wallet to pipe live scores directly into Polymarket or Kalshi trading logic.
Supported sports: NBA, NFL, NCAA Football (NCAAF), MLB, Soccer
Prerequisites
- Shipp API key — register at https://platform.shipp.ai
- MoonPay CLI —
npm install -g @moonpay/cli
- Funded wallet — USDC.e on Polygon for Polymarket trades
export SHIPP_API_KEY="sk_..."

mp wallet list
mp buy --token usdc_polygon --amount 100 --wallet <polygon-address> --email <email>
mp buy --token pol_polygon --amount 5 --wallet <polygon-address> --email <email>
mp prediction-market user create --provider polymarket --wallet <polygon-address>
Shipp API
Create a Connection (one-time per query type)
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/create \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/{connection_id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"limit": 20, "since_event_id": "<last_seen_id>"}'
Get Sport Schedule (±7 days)

Live Data → Trade Loop
Create a connection once, then poll every 15 seconds for live events:
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/create \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
