LuckyLobster - Polymarket Trading API

Trade prediction markets on Polymarket through a secure API designed for AI agents.

How Polymarket Works

Polymarket is a prediction market where you trade on the outcomes of real-world events.

Buying Contracts:

• In active markets, you can buy outcome contracts priced from $0.01 to $0.99
• Each contract entitles you to 1 share at your purchase price
• Lower prices = higher potential return, but less likely outcome (market's view)

Selling Contracts:

• You can sell your shares at any time before the market closes
• Sell price depends on current market conditions

Market Resolution:

• When a market resolves, the winning outcome pays $1.00 USDC per share
• Losing outcomes pay $0 (or a negligible amount in rare cases)

Example: You buy 100 "Yes" shares at $0.35 each (cost: $35). If "Yes" wins, you receive $100 (profit: $65). If "No" wins, you lose your $35.

Setup

If you don't have an API key configured, use the device authorization flow to link your account.

Device Authorization Flow

Step 1: Request a Device Code

POST https://luckylobster.io/api/auth/device
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "agent_name": "OpenClaw Agent"
}

Response:

{
  "device_code": "abc123...",
  "user_code": "ABCD-1234",
  "verification_uri": "https://luckylobster.io/link",
  "verification_uri_complete": "https://luckylobster.io/link?code=ABCD-1234",
  "expires_in": 900,
  "interval": 5
}

Step 2: Direct the User

Parse the JSON response and extract the verification_uri_complete field. Display it to the user as a clickable link:

🦞 To connect LuckyLobster, click: {verification_uri_complete}

Important: Use the verification_uri_complete value exactly as returned — do NOT concatenate fields or build the URL yourself. The value is a complete, ready-to-use URL.

Step 3: Poll for Authorization

Poll every 5 seconds until authorized:

GET https://luckylobster.io/api/auth/device/token?device_code=abc123...

Pending response:

{ "error": "authorization_pending" }

Success response:

{
  "api_key": "ll_abc123...",
  "user_email": "user@example.com",
  "permissions": ["read", "trade", "cancel", "redeem"]
}

All linked agents receive standard permissions: read (view markets/orders/positions), trade (buy/sell), cancel (cancel orders), and redeem (settle positions).

Step 4: Store the API Key

Save the API key persistently so it survives restarts. It is only returned once.

Use the gateway tool with config.patch to save it in the skill config:

gateway.config.patch({
  patch: {
    skills: {
      entries: {
        luckylobster: {
          env: {
            LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY: "ll_abc123..."
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

Authentication

All API requests require an API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Base URL

https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1

Rate Limits

• Default: 100 requests per minute
• Rate limit headers included in responses:
  • X-RateLimit-Limit: Max requests allowed
  • X-RateLimit-Remaining: Requests remaining
  • X-RateLimit-Reset: Reset time (ISO 8601)

Search Markets

Find prediction markets on Polymarket. The search uses smart relevance scoring to return the best matches first.

GET /markets/search?q={query}

Parameters:

• q (required for search): Natural language query - "bitcoin 15m", "trump election", "superbowl winner"
• limit (optional): Max results (default: 10, max: 100)
• offset (optional): Pagination offset
• sort (optional): "relevance" (default), "volume", "liquidity", "end_date", "recent"
• ending_soon (optional): Prioritize markets ending within 24h (default: false)
• min_volume (optional): Minimum volume in USD (default: 100)
• min_liquidity (optional): Minimum liquidity in USD
• tag (optional): Filter by category: "crypto", "politics", "sports", "entertainment"
• accepting_orders (optional): Only tradeable markets (default: true)

Search Tips:

• Shorthand supported: "btc 15m" → "Bitcoin Up or Down", "eth daily" → "Ethereum Up or Down on"
• The search auto-expands: btc→Bitcoin, eth→Ethereum, sol→Solana, etc.
• Time keywords (15m, hourly, daily) auto-expand to "Up or Down" queries
• Results are ranked by relevance: query match + liquidity + volume + accepting orders
• For time-sensitive markets, add ending_soon=true to prioritize markets expiring within 24h
• First result is usually the best match - check context.topMatch

Example - Find Current BTC Market:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/markets/search?q=bitcoin%20up%20down&ending_soon=true&limit=5"

Example - High-Volume Politics Markets:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/markets/search?q=election&tag=politics&sort=volume"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "1314069",
      "slug": "bitcoin-up-or-down-on-february-3",
      "question": "Bitcoin Up or Down on February 3?",
      "outcomes": ["Up", "Down"],
      "outcomePrices": ["0.65", "0.35"],
      "volume": "409100.65",
      "liquidity": "39255.13",
      "endDate": "2026-02-03T17:00:00Z",
      "active": true,
      "acceptingOrders": true
    }
  ],
  "pagination": { "limit": 5, "offset": 0, "count": 1, "hasMore": false },
  "context": {
    "hasResults": true,
    "topMatch": { "id": "1314069", "question": "Bitcoin Up or Down on February 3?", "acceptingOrders": true },
    "endingSoonCount": 1
  },
  "options": {
    "sortBy": ["relevance", "volume", "liquidity", "end_date", "recent"],
    "tags": ["crypto", "politics", "sports", "entertainment"]
  }
}

Workflow for Trading:

1. Search: GET /markets/search?q=bitcoin up down
2. Use the id from the top result to get full details: GET /markets/{id}
3. Response includes clobTokenIds - use these with trading endpoints

Quick Crypto Market Lookup

For crypto up/down markets, use this dedicated endpoint. It uses deterministic slug-based lookups (not text search) and is the most reliable way to find crypto markets:

GET /markets/crypto?asset={btc|eth|sol|xrp|doge|matic}&timeframe={daily|hourly|15m}

Examples:

• /markets/crypto?asset=btc - Today's Bitcoin daily market
• /markets/crypto?asset=btc&timeframe=15m - Current Bitcoin 15-minute market
• /markets/crypto?asset=eth&timeframe=hourly - Current Ethereum hourly market
• /markets/crypto?asset=xrp&timeframe=15m - Current XRP 15-minute market

Response includes tokens array with tokenId, negRisk, and live spread data ready for trading.

Find Market by Slug

If you know the exact market slug (from a Polymarket URL), use this for direct lookup:

GET /markets/by-slug?slug={slug}

Example: For URL https://polymarket.com/event/btc-updown-15m-1770129900

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/markets/by-slug?slug=btc-updown-15m-1770129900"

Response includes clobTokenIds and tokens ready for trading.

Note: For crypto markets, always prefer /markets/crypto over /markets/search — it uses the same deterministic slug lookups as the internal market-data-worker and is far more reliable.

Get Market Details

Get detailed information about a specific market, including token IDs required for market data and trading.

GET /markets/{id}

Parameters:

• id: Market ID or condition ID (from search results)

Example:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/markets/0x1234..."

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "id": "1314069",
    "conditionId": "0xf46bf33576e8341821161316705ab2357312f58d58b7d157cb8dca73b656b326",
    "question": "Bitcoin Up or Down on February 3?",
    "outcomes": ["Up", "Down"],
    "outcomePrices": ["0.345", "0.655"],
    "tokens": [
      {"tokenId": "36656454529662513...", "outcome": "Up", "price": "0.345"},
      {"tokenId": "10609233133841503...", "outcome": "Down", "price": "0.655"}
    ],
    "clobTokenIds": ["36656454529662513...", "10609233133841503..."],
    "volume": "409100.65",
    "liquidity": "39255.13",
    "active": true,
    "acceptingOrders": true,
    "spreads": [
      {"outcome": "Up", "tokenId": "36656454...", "bid": "0.34", "ask": "0.35", "spread": "0.01"}
    ]
  }
}

Important: Use the tokenId from the tokens array or clobTokenIds for the market data endpoints below.

Market Data Endpoints

These endpoints provide real-time order book and pricing data from the Polymarket CLOB (Central Limit Order Book).

Workflow for getting market data:

1. Search markets: GET /markets/search?q=Bitcoin
2. Get market details: GET /markets/{id} → This returns tokens[].tokenId
3. Get market data: GET /orderbook?token_id={tokenId} or GET /market-data?token_id={tokenId}

Get Order Book

Get the order book summary for a token, including all bids and asks.

GET /orderbook?token_id={tokenId}

Parameters:

• token_id (required): The outcome token address
• token_ids (optional): Comma-separated list for batch request (max 20)

Example:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/orderbook?token_id=71321045..."

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "tokenId": "71321045...",
    "market": "0xabc...",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z",
    "bids": [
      {"price": "0.65", "size": "1000"},
      {"price": "0.64", "size": "500"}
    ],

    }
  }
}

Get Prices

Get current prices for a token including midpoint, buy/sell prices, and last trade.

Real-time data: When you have open positions, the server automatically subscribes to Polymarket WebSocket feeds for those markets. Price data from /prices and /heartbeat will use cached real-time data when available (indicated by "source": "websocket" in the response). This is significantly faster than HTTP polling.

GET /prices?token_id={tokenId}

Parameters:

• token_id (required): The outcome token address
• side (optional): BUY or SELL to get price for specific side
• token_ids (optional): Comma-separated list for batch request (max 20)

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/prices?token_id=71321045..."

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "tokenId": "71321045...",
    "midpoint": "0.655",
    "lastTradePrice": "0.65",
    "buyPrice": "0.66",
    "sellPrice": "0.65",
    "timestamp": "2025-01-15T12:00:00Z",
    "source": "websocket"
  }
}

Place Order

Place a buy or sell order on a market. Returns real-time order status.

POST /orders
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "tokenId": "0x1234...",
  "side": "BUY",
  "price": 0.65,
  "size": 50,
  "type": "LIMIT"
}

Parameters:

• tokenId: Outcome token address (from market data)
• side: BUY or SELL
• price: Price per share (0.01 to 0.99)
• size: Number of shares
• type: LIMIT, MARKET, FOK, or FAK

Constraints:

• Minimum order amount: price * size must be >= $1.00 USDC
• Minimum order size: 5 shares
• Price must be a multiple of 0.01 (tick size)

Order Type Behavior:

• MARKET: Fills as much as available at your price or better, kills the rest (recommended for most trades)
• LIMIT: Rests on the order book until filled or cancelled
• FOK: Fill-or-Kill — must fill 100% or the entire order is rejected. Use only when you need guaranteed full fills. High failure rate on thin markets.
• FAK: Fill-and-Kill — same as MARKET

Tip: For short-timeframe markets (5m, 15m) where order books can be thin, prefer MARKET or LIMIT over FOK. MARKET orders will fill whatever is available. LIMIT orders rest on the book and can fill as liquidity arrives.

Real-time Status: The response includes the order's current status from Polymarket. MARKET and FAK orders return faster (~500ms) since they execute immediately. LIMIT orders are checked after ~1 second.

Example:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tokenId":"0x1234...","side":"BUY","price":0.65,"size":50,"type":"LIMIT"}' \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/orders"

Response (with fill data when available):

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "order": {
      "id": "ord_abc123",
      "polyOrderId": "0x...",
      "status": "FILLED",
      "side": "BUY",
      "price": 0.65,
      "size": 50,
      "filledSize": 50,
      "avgFillPrice": 0.65,
      "transactionHash": "0x...",
      "filledAt": "2025-01-15T12:00:01Z"
    }
  }
}

List Orders

Get your orders with real-time status from Polymarket.

GET /orders?status=OPEN&limit=50

Parameters:

• status (optional): Filter by status - PENDING, OPEN, FILLED, PARTIALLY_FILLED, CANCELLED, EXPIRED, FAILED
• limit (optional): Max results (default: 50, max: 100)
• offset (optional): Pagination offset
• sync (optional): Set to false to skip live status sync (default: true)

Real-time Sync: Open orders (PENDING, OPEN, PARTIALLY_FILLED) are automatically synced with Polymarket in parallel for real-time status. The response includes sync metadata.

Example:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/orders?status=OPEN"

Response includes sync info:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": [...],

      "sizeMatched": 25,
      "price": 0.65
    }
  }
}

Cancel Order

Cancel an open order. Only orders with status PENDING, OPEN, or PARTIALLY_FILLED can be cancelled.

DELETE /orders/{orderId}

Example:

curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \

• 400: Order cannot be cancelled (already filled, cancelled, or failed)
• 403: Order was not placed by your agent
• 404: Order not found

Notes:

• You can only cancel orders that your agent placed
• If an order is partially filled, cancelling stops further fills but keeps the filled portion
• The previousStatus field shows what status the order had before cancellation

Close Position (One-Shot)

• 403: Position belongs to another user
• 404: Position not found
• 503: Unable to fetch market price (market may be closed/illiquid)

Notes:

• Uses the current bid price for immediate execution
• For LIMIT orders, applies slippage tolerance (default 2%) below bid
• Position is partially closed if order only partially fills
• Check position.isClosed to verify complete exit

Get Balance

Get raw wallet balance (live from chain).

GET /balance

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "usdc": 93.16,
    "matic": 0.5,
    "address": "0x1234...",
    "walletType": "proxy"
  }
}

Fields:

• usdc: Raw USDC in wallet
• matic: For gas (rarely needed)
• address: Your trading wallet on Polygon

Approve Tokens (Fix "not enough allowance" errors)

If you get a "not enough balance / allowance" error when selling or closing positions, you need to approve the CTF (Conditional Token Framework) contract. This is a one-time setup per wallet.

POST /wallet/approve

Request Body:

{
  "token": "CTF"  // or "USDC", "NEG_RISK", "all"
}

Token Types:

• USDC: Required for buying (usually already approved)
• CTF: Required for selling/closing positions
• NEG_RISK: Required for multi-outcome markets
• all: Approve all tokens at once

Example - Fix selling errors:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"token": "CTF"}' \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/wallet/approve"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "CTF approved successfully",
  "data": {
    "approvals": { "CTF": "0x..." },
    "successful": ["CTF"],
    "failed": []
  }
}

When to use:

• Error: "not enough balance / allowance" when selling
• Error: "not enough balance / allowance" when closing a position
• First time selling after wallet setup

Get Budget

Get how much you can spend. Use this before placing orders.

    "usdc": 46.58,
    "limitedBy": "percent",
    "wallet": 93.16,
    "config": {
      "fixedLimit": null,
      "budgetPercent": 50,
      "maxPositionValue": null,
      "used": 0
    }
  }
}

Get Positions

Get your current positions directly from Polymarket. The endpoint fetches from the Polymarket Data API (source of truth) with automatic fallback to CLOB trades if Data API returns empty.

GET /positions

Parameters:

• status (optional): Filter by status - "open" (default), "settled", "redeemable", or "all"
• token_id (optional): Filter by specific token ID
• condition_id (optional): Filter by condition ID (market)
• source (optional): Force data source - "clob" to bypass Data API and fetch directly from CLOB trades

Example - Get Open Positions:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/positions"

Example - Get Redeemable Positions:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/positions?status=redeemable"

Example - Force CLOB Source (for freshest data):

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/positions?source=clob"

}

Key Fields:

• size: Number of outcome tokens held
• avgEntryPrice: Average price paid per token (0.00 to 1.00)
• currentPrice: Live price from Polymarket
• currentValue: Current value in USDC
• pnl.unrealized: Unrealized profit/loss
• pnl.unrealizedPercent: Unrealized P&L as percentage
• status.isRedeemable: true if market resolved and position can be redeemed
• status.isNegRisk: true for multi-outcome markets (require special redemption)
• wallet.type: "proxy" (Polymarket smart wallet) or "eoa" (direct wallet)
• source: "data-api" or "clob-trades" - shows which data source was used

Data Source Behavior:

1. Default: Fetches from Polymarket Data API (most reliable, includes all historical positions)
2. Fallback: If Data API returns empty, automatically falls back to CLOB trades
3. Forced CLOB: Use ?source=clob for freshest data immediately after placing an order (Data API can have ~30s delay)

When to use source=clob:

• Right after placing an order (Data API has indexing delay)
• When Data API returns fewer positions than expected
• For debugging position discrepancies

Settlement & Redemption

When a market resolves, winning outcome tokens can be redeemed for $1.00 USDC each. The redemption endpoint automatically fetches all redeemable positions from Polymarket and redeems them in a single batched transaction.

List Redeemable Positions

Check what positions are ready for redemption.

GET /settlements/redeem

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "positions": [
      {
        "conditionId": "0xbc13af0a940bb9a...",
        "title": "Bitcoin Up or Down - February 4, 1:45PM-2:00PM ET",
        "outcome": "Down",
        "size": 5.0,
        "estimatedValue": "$5.00",
        "negRisk": false
      }
    ],
    "count": 3,
    "totalValue": "$42.50",
    "wallet": "0x539b2de928064898..."
  },
  "message": "Found 3 redeemable positions (~$42.50). POST to redeem."
}

Redeem Positions

Redeem winning positions in a single batched transaction. You can redeem all positions or target specific ones.

POST /settlements/redeem

Optional Parameters:

{
  "conditionId": "0x...",           // Redeem ONLY this specific position
  "conditionIds": ["0x...", "..."], // Redeem ONLY these specific positions
  "limit": 50,       // Max positions to redeem (default: 10, max: 50)
  "minValue": 1.00,  // Skip positions below this value (default: $0.10)
  "dryRun": true     // Preview what would be redeemed without executing
}

Example - Redeem a specific position:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"conditionId": "0xbc13af0a940bb9a..."}' \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/settlements/redeem"

Example - Redeem all:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/settlements/redeem"

Example - Dry run first:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"dryRun": true}' \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/settlements/redeem"

Example - Redeem up to 50, skip dust:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: $LUCKYLOBSTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit": 50, "minValue": 1.00}' \
  "https://luckylobster.io/api/agent/v1/settlements/redeem"

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Redeemed 3 positions (~$42.50)",
  "data": {
    "processed": 3,
    "redeemed": [
      {

      }
    ],
    "failed": [],
    "remaining": 0,
    "totalValueRedeemed": "$42.50"
  }
}

Error Responses:

• 404: Wallet not found
• 403: Missing "redeem" permission
• 501: Polymarket Builder API not configured

Notes:

• Redemption is gasless (executed via Polymarket relayer)
• All positions are batched into a single on-chain transaction for efficiency
• Only positions marked as "redeemable" by Polymarket are included
• Both standard and NegRisk markets are handled automatically

Heartbeat (Status Check)

The heartbeat endpoint provides a single-call summary of your portfolio, pending actions, and account status. Call it periodically to stay informed.

Check Heartbeat

GET /heartbeat?skill_version=10

Include skill_version so the server can indicate if a newer version is available.

Returns aggregated data: open positions, redeemable positions, filled orders since last check, budget status, and items that may need attention.

Autonomous Strategies

Create server-side trading strategies that execute automatically. Instead of making trade decisions on every heartbeat (which costs tokens), define rules once and let the server trade for you.

Strategy Types

PRICE_ALERT - Buy or sell when price hits a target (stop-loss, take-profit, limit buy) RECURRING_BUY - Dollar-cost average into a market at fixed intervals BUY_LOW_SELL_HIGH - Buy below a floor, sell above a ceiling, repeat

List Strategies

GET ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies
GET ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies?status=ACTIVE&type=DCA

Get Strategy Details

GET ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies/{id}

Returns full strategy with last 20 execution records.

Update Strategy

PATCH ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies/{id}
{ "config": { ... }, "maxBudget": 300 }

Pause / Resume / Cancel

POST ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies/{id}/pause
POST ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies/{id}/resume
DELETE ${baseUrl}/api/agent/v1/strategies/{id}

Strategy Lifecycle

1. ACTIVE - Server evaluates every ~10 seconds
2. PAUSED - Paused by user (from dashboard) or agent. Not evaluated until resumed.
3. ERROR - Auto-paused after 3 consecutive failures. Use POST /strategies/{id}/resume to retry.
4. COMPLETED - Budget exhausted or one-shot trigger fired
5. CANCELLED - Cancelled by user (from dashboard) or agent. Cannot be resumed.
6. EXPIRED - Past 24-hour default TTL (or custom expiresAt). Cannot be resumed.

Crypto Market Auto-Discovery

For strategies using marketQuery instead of tokenId: the server automatically discovers the current active market each evaluation. For known crypto assets (btc, eth, sol, xrp, etc.), this uses deterministic slug-based lookups — the same approach as the market-data-worker. This reliably handles Polymarket's ephemeral crypto markets (15-min, hourly, daily) that expire and are replaced. Non-crypto queries fall back to text search.

COPY_TRADE Real-Time Monitoring

Copy trade strategies use blockchain event monitoring (not polling) to detect target wallet activity in ~2 seconds. The server watches ERC1155 transfer events on Polymarket's CTF contract via Alchemy WebSocket RPC. Events are deduplicated, so reconnections don't cause double-execution.

Heartbeat Integration

The heartbeat response includes a strategies section and these action types:

• STRATEGY_EXECUTED (medium) — Trades placed by your strategies
• STRATEGY_ERROR (high) — Strategies auto-paused after consecutive errors
• STRATEGY_COMPLETED (low) — Strategies that finished (budget exhausted or trigger fired)
• STRATEGY_PAUSED (high) — Strategy paused by the user from the dashboard. POST /strategies/{id}/resume to restart.
• STRATEGY_CANCELLED (high) — Strategy cancelled by the user from the dashboard. Create a new strategy if needed.

Best Practices

1. Set maxBudget on every strategy to limit exposure
2. Use PRICE_ALERT for stop-loss/take-profit on existing positions
3. Use RECURRING_BUY with marketQuery for crypto markets (handles market expiry)
4. Review heartbeat periodically to see strategy execution results
5. Max 10 active strategies per agent
