veynor

Python client for the Veynor prediction market intelligence API.

Cross-venue data across Kalshi and Polymarket: whale trades, smart money signals, arb opportunities, and market search — in a single import.

pip install veynor

Quickstart

import veynor

client = veynor.Client(api_key="vey_sk_...")

# Whale trades across both venues
whales = client.whales(venue="all", min_notional=10_000)
for t in whales["trades"]:
    print(t["platform"], t["market"], t["side"], f"${t['notional']:,.0f}")

# Arb opportunities between Kalshi and Polymarket
arb = client.signals(signal_type="arb_opportunities")
for opp in arb["arb_opportunities"]:
    print(opp)

Get a free API key at veynor.xyz/agents.


Authentication

Pass your key directly or via environment variable:

# Option 1: direct
client = veynor.Client(api_key="vey_sk_...")

# Option 2: environment variable
# export VEYNOR_API_KEY=vey_sk_...
client = veynor.Client()

Methods

client.whales()

Recent large trades across Kalshi and Polymarket.

whales = client.whales(

client.search()

Search markets by keyword across both venues. Results include current YES price and 24-hour volume.

results = client.search("fed rate", venue="all", limit=10)

client.market()

Full details for a specific market.

# Polymarket: use condition ID

# Returns: { summary, market: {...}, meta }

client.signals()

Alpha signals: wide spreads, price movers, cross-venue arb.

    signal_type="all",   # "all" | "wide_spreads" | "price_movers" | "arb_opportunities"
    limit=10,
)
# Returns: { summary, wide_spreads, price_movers, arb_opportunities, meta }

client.usage()

Check your credit balance. Always free.

u = client.usage()
print(u["tier"], u["credits_remaining"])

Exceptions

from veynor import VeynorError, AuthError, RateLimitError

try:
    whales = client.whales()
except AuthError:
    print("Invalid or expired API key")
except RateLimitError:
    print("Rate limit hit — slow down or upgrade tier")
except VeynorError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e}")

REST API

All SDK methods map directly to REST endpoints at https://api.veynor.xyz. Pass your key via X-API-Key header.

# Whale trades

  "https://api.veynor.xyz/v1/whale-trades?min_notional=10000&venue=all&limit=10"

# Price movers (biggest moves in last hour)

CLI

Every API method is also available as a shell command. Set your key once:

export VEYNOR_API_KEY=vey_sk_...

Search markets

veynor search "fed rate"
veynor search "bitcoin" --limit 20
veynor search "election" --venue kalshi

Output shows YES price, 24-hour volume, and platform for each result:

  [polymarket]  YES  62¢  $  1,234,567/24h  Will the Fed cut rates in June?
  [kalshi]      YES  58¢  $    412,300/24h  Fed rate cut — June 2025

Add --json before the query for machine-readable output (useful for piping):

veynor search --json "bitcoin" | python3 -m json.tool
veynor search --json "nba" | jq '.results[].yes_price'

Whale trades

veynor whales
veynor whales --min-notional 50000
veynor whales --venue kalshi --limit 5

Top markets

veynor top
veynor top --venue polymarket --limit 20

Signals

veynor signals                          # all signals
veynor signals --type wide_spreads
veynor signals --type arb_opportunities
veynor signals --type price_movers

Market detail

veynor market polymarket <condition_id>
veynor market kalshi KXNBA-25-LAL
veynor market kalshi KXNBA-25-LAL --json

Credit usage

veynor usage

Use in a Jupyter notebook

import veynor, pandas as pd

client = veynor.Client()
data   = client.whales(min_notional=15_000, limit=50)
df     = pd.DataFrame(data["trades"])
df[["market", "side", "notional", "platform"]].sort_values("notional", ascending=False)

Polymarket order execution (optional)

The trade commands let you place market orders on Polymarket directly from the CLI. All signing happens locally. Your private key is never sent to Veynor's servers.

1. Install trade dependencies

pip install veynor[trade]

This adds py-clob-client and eth-account on top of the base install.

2. Get your private key from Polymarket

Go to polymarket.com, open your profile settings, and find the Private Key section. The steps are the same regardless of how you signed up.

If you signed up with email (Magic wallet): Polymarket walks you through exporting your key via Magic.link. Settings > Private Key > sign into Magic.link > copy the key shown.

If you connected MetaMask or another external wallet: Export the key directly from your wallet app. MetaMask: Settings > Accounts > Account details > Show private key.

Once you have it, store it in your shell environment. Never in code, never committed to git:

export POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

Add that line to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile to persist it across sessions.

The CLOB client derives your API credentials from the key locally on each run. Nothing is stored or sent to Veynor.

3. Trade

# Check your USDC balance on Polygon
veynor trade balance

# List open positions
veynor trade positions

# Buy $50 of YES shares on a market
# TOKEN_ID is the outcome token address — find it with:
#   veynor market polymarket <condition_id> --json
veynor trade buy 0xabc123... --amount 50

# Sell 100 shares
veynor trade sell 0xabc123... --shares 100

# Mirror the latest whale trade (1% of their notional by default)
veynor trade copy

# Copy a specific whale size, custom amount
veynor trade copy --min-notional 50000 --amount 200 --yes

All trade commands prompt for confirmation before executing. Pass --yes to skip.

Finding token IDs

Each Polymarket outcome (YES/NO) has a token ID (a Polygon address). Get it from the market detail:

veynor market polymarket <condition_id> --json | python3 -m json.tool

Or from the Polymarket UI: open a market, inspect the URL or the API response.

Errors and troubleshooting

Error Fix
No private key found Set POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY in your shell
Failed to derive API credentials Check that your key is a valid hex private key starting with 0x
Trading requires extra packages Run pip install veynor[trade]
Order status unmatched Insufficient liquidity at market price — try a smaller amount
