Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You should definitely read the API that its pulling the data from

hey @stoic merlin

#

you have to use their api

#

I tried getting the bot to look into the literal gamma api and it didn't work

golden girder Mar 25, 2026, 3:15 PM

#

the python client linked above will probably handle a lot for you

stoic merlin Mar 25, 2026, 3:16 PM

#

#

appreciate your time

#

will try it out

that will not be as useful as you might think. AIs are not trained on this type of system, but do test the client, it makes an abstraction from writing your own graphql queries

#

what data are you trying to get?

#

id from markets?

#

golden girder what data are you trying to get?

Bitcoin 5 minute up/down
and then the ime window would be dynamic since it would grab whatever one was currently running in ET

golden girder Mar 25, 2026, 3:20 PM

#

i see.. well the docs and api refeerences on this site is exceltionally well made

#

#

their docs

If you writing your own code, then the tricky part is those 5-min markets are dynamic, so IDs keep changing — you’ll need to programmatically pick the latest active one instead of hardcoding.
Try inspecting network calls on the site to see how they fetch it.

#

the place you always should go when you want to read about how things work

#

https://docs.polymarket.com/quickstart#python

Polymarket Documentation

Quickstart - Polymarket Documentation

Fetch a market and place your first order

stoic merlin Mar 25, 2026, 3:24 PM

#

ok, I grabbed the info on there and put into z ai
I used claude to build the code since I am a python noob still

#

everything is done basically except for grabbing the correct id
