# Polymarket Search API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/polymarket/search)

> Searches active Polymarket events and markets via the public Gamma API. Returns matching events with full market details: title, slug, market questions, outcome prices, volume, liquidity, end date, and price changes (1d / 1w / 1m). One upstream call per request. For server-side multi-query expansion + ranking against a topic, use /v1/polymarket/research instead.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/polymarket/search` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Free-text search term: keywords, entity names, or topics |
| `limit` | no | Max results per result type (events / markets / profiles). Bounds the response size. Defaults to 10. |
