This section is for builders, data users, and technical traders who want to work directly with prediction market infrastructure.

Some readers will come here to build bots. Others will come for data collection, research, backtesting, or platform integrations. The important thing is that this section should help you understand the technical workflows, not just list features.

What this section covers

  • Platform APIs and authentication models
  • Historical data and live market data
  • SDKs, tools, and developer workflows
  • Bot-building and market-making concepts

How to use this section

If you are new to the technical side, start with the API overview for the platform you care about.

If your main goal is research or automation, move next to the data and bot pages.

If your goal is execution quality, pair the developer pages with the trading fundamentals pages on order books, liquidity, and slippage.

This section should help technical readers get oriented fast. It is meant to show how the system fits together, not just throw endpoint names at you.

Common questions

Is this section only for professional engineers?

No. It is also useful for quantitative traders, analysts, and technical hobbyists who want to understand the plumbing behind the market.

Should I read this before the platform guides?

Usually no. Start with the platform overview unless you already know which system you want to build on.

What should I read next?

Read the relevant API page first, then move to the data and tool sections.
