# Prediction Market Odds

## Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
```bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
```

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: `npx gooseworks login`

All endpoints use Bearer auth: `-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"`


Get current odds, prices, and market data from prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi.

## When to Use

- User asks about prediction market odds
- User wants to know probability of an event
- User asks "what are the odds of [event]?"
- Research on market sentiment
- Election or event probability checks

## How It Works

Uses the Dome API to aggregate prediction market data from Polymarket and Kalshi.

## Understanding Odds

- Prices are shown as decimals (0.65 = 65% probability)
- "Yes" price = probability market thinks event will happen
- Higher volume = more confidence/liquidity
- Prices change based on trading activity

## Error Handling

- **400** - `search` requires `status` parameter (`open` or `closed`) — always include both
- **401** - Invalid API key
- **429** - Rate limit — wait and retry
- Empty `markets` array means no markets match the search term
- Activity endpoint returns recent trades globally — no filters required

## Tips

- Check multiple markets for the same event
- Volume indicates market confidence
- Recent activity shows sentiment shifts
- Polymarket focuses on politics/world events, Kalshi on finance/weather
