Polymarket Research API
Scrape Polymarket Research data with one API call. Server-side fan-out over the Gamma API: expands the topic into up to 6 search queries (core subject + individual informative words), issues all calls in parallel, dedupes events by id, filters out unrelated matches via informative-word overlap with the topic, and ranks the remainder by topic↔title similarity. Costs 5 credits because each call hits upstream multiple times. Use this when you want a curated, on-topic feed; use /v1/polymarket/search for raw single-query lookups.
Last updated August 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns Polymarket prediction markets about a topic, ranked by how well they match: event title, market questions, outcome prices, volume, and end date.
Use it to get a focused feed of markets on a subject. It runs several searches for you and drops results that are not about the topic.

What can you do with the Research API?
The Research endpoint gives you structured Polymarket data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/polymarket/research?query=trump+2028+election"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/polymarket/research",
params={
'query': 'trump 2028 election',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)

{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | The research topic — free-text natural language (e.g. 'last 30 days bitcoin halving', 'kanye west tour'). Framing prefixes like 'last N days' and 'what are people saying about' are stripped automatically before expansion. |
| limit | No | Max results per result type on each fan-out call (events / markets / profiles). Bounds the response size. Defaults to 10. |
