REST API / Polymarket (Admin) / Candlesticks by Token

Candlesticks by Token (Polymarket)

ADMIN-ONLY (gated, not yet public). OHLCV for a single Polymarket outcome token. Unlike the condition-level endpoint, prices are NOT normalized — NO-token prices stay as NO prices (e.g. ~$0.30 in a 70/30 market). Use this when you want to chart each side of a binary market separately. Source: clob.polymarket.com/prices-history (mid prices, OHLC degenerate, volume null).

Authentication

API Key

To secure your requests, we strongly recommend passing your API key via the X-API-Key header. This prevents sensitive keys from being exposed in access logs or browser history.

Request HeaderX-API-Key: pmx_test_5e8f...

Rate Limits

API rate limits are enforced based on the tier associated with your API key. Limits are tracked on two dimensions: requests per second and requests per month. Each completed request counts toward the global monthly quota. Separate endpoint-group monthly limits (matched markets, arbitrage, EV) only advance when the response body has success: true.

Usage is returned on responses via headers such as:

Response Headers (global)X-RateLimit-Limit-Second: 10X-RateLimit-Remaining-Second: 9X-RateLimit-Limit-Month: 1000X-RateLimit-Remaining-Month: 842Example (endpoint-group, when applicable)X-RateLimit-Limit-Arb-Month: 500X-RateLimit-Remaining-Arb-Month: 412

If you exceed a rate limit, the API returns a 429 status with a Retry-After header indicating when you can resume.
