Polymarket exposes public market metadata and order-book data through its documented APIs. Market discovery and token pricing have separate roles.
Discovery and prices
Use the official documentation to identify events, markets, outcomes, and token identifiers. Preserve the native condition and token identity when reading book prices. A probability quote, a last trade, and an executable bid or ask describe different evidence.
Comparing sports contracts
Review outcome definitions and resolution rules before aligning a contract with sportsbook odds. A NO position on one team can cover several sportsbook results. Fees, collateral, market state, and liquidity can affect analytical comparisons.
Oddswire access
Oddswire's private pilot represents source-native probability and settlement context. Access requires reviewed account and source-use permission. The public website provides documentation and synthetic examples.
