## Why pmxt?
Different prediction market platforms have different APIs, data formats, and conventions. pmxt provides a single, consistent interface to work with all of them.
- **Hosted API.** Get a key at [pmxt.dev/dashboard](https://pmxt.dev/dashboard), construct a client, trade. PMXT handles custody, signing infrastructure, and on-chain settlement.
- **Open source (MIT).** Self-host the local server for full control — your keys, your machine, no PMXT in the loop. See [Self-hosted](#self-hosted).
- **Language-agnostic.** Python and TypeScript SDKs today, with HTTP access for any other language. No lock-in to a single ecosystem.
- **Drop-in Dome API replacement.** Automatic codemod (`dome-to-pmxt`) for teams migrating after the Polymarket acquisition.
- **Unified trading, not just data.** Place orders across Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless with a single interface.
- **[MCP-native](https://pmxt.dev/mcp).** Use pmxt directly from Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents.
## Installation
Ensure that [`Node.js`](https://nodejs.org) (>= 18) is installed and the `node` command is available on your PATH. The Python SDK requires Python >= 3.8.
### Python
```bash
pip install pmxt
```
### Node.js
```bash
npm install pmxtjs
```
### CLI
```bash
npm install -g @pmxt/cli
pmxt polymarket markets --query Trump --limit 5
pmxt polymarket fetchMarkets --query Trump --limit 5
pmxt auth status
```
### Running from Source
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pmxt-dev/pmxt.git
cd pmxt
npm install
npm run dev
```
### MCP (for AI agents)
```bash
npx -y @pmxt/mcp
```
See [@pmxt/mcp](https://github.com/pmxt-dev/pmxt-mcp) for setup with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients.
## Migrating from Dome API
If you're currently using **Dome API**, pmxt is a drop-in replacement with a unified interface for Polymarket and Kalshi.
Check out [pmxt as a Dome API alternative](https://pmxt.dev/dome-api-alternative) for a detailed migration guide, API comparison, and automatic codemod tool (`dome-to-pmxt`) to help you transition your code.
```bash
# Automatically migrate your codebase
npx dome-to-pmxt ./src
```
## Quickstart
Get your API key at [pmxt.dev/dashboard](https://pmxt.dev/dashboard). For reads, only `pmxt_api_key` and `wallet_address` are required. For trading, also pass `private_key` — the SDK auto-wraps it into an EIP-712 signer.
### Python
```python
import pmxt
# Reads — pmxt_api_key + wallet_address only
client = pmxt.Polymarket(
pmxt_api_key="pmxt_live_...",
wallet_address="0xYourWalletAddress",
)
positions = client.fetch_positions()
balance = client.fetch_balance()
markets = client.fetch_markets(query="nba")
# Trading — also pass private_key
trader = pmxt.Polymarket(
pmxt_api_key="pmxt_live_...",
wallet_address="0xYourWalletAddress",
private_key="0xYourPrivateKey",
)
order = trader.create_order(
market_id="market-uuid",
outcome_id="outcome-uuid",
side="buy",
order_type="market",
amount=5.0,
denom="usdc",
slippage_pct=30.0,
)
```
### TypeScript
> **Note:** Named imports do not work in ESM. Use `import pmxt from 'pmxtjs'` (default import) for the namespaced form, or import `Polymarket` from `pmxtjs` only via the CJS build.
```typescript
import { Polymarket } from "pmxtjs";
// Reads — pmxtApiKey + walletAddress only
const client = new Polymarket({
pmxtApiKey: "pmxt_live_...",
walletAddress: "0xYourWalletAddress",
});
const positions = await client.fetchPositions();
const balance = await client.fetchBalance();
// Trading — also pass privateKey
const trader = new Polymarket({
pmxtApiKey: "pmxt_live_...",
walletAddress: "0xYourWalletAddress",
privateKey: "0xYourPrivateKey",
});
const order = await trader.createOrder({
marketId: "market-uuid",
outcomeId: "outcome-uuid",
side: "buy",
type: "market",
amount: 5.0,
denom: "usdc",
slippage_pct: 30.0,
} as any);
```
### Prediction market hierarchy
Prediction markets are structured in a hierarchy to group related information.
* **Event**: The broad topic (e.g., *"Who will Trump nominate as Fed Chair?"*)
* **Market**: A specific tradeable question (e.g., *"Will Trump nominate Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair?"*)
* **Outcome**: The actual share you buy (e.g., *"Yes"* or *"No"*)
## Trading
pmxt supports unified trading across exchanges. The hosted API is the default — see Quickstart above for the basic flow.
### Hosted trading (recommended)
With a PMXT API key, you only need your wallet address and a private key to sign orders. PMXT handles custody, signer infrastructure, and on-chain settlement.
```python
import pmxt
trader = pmxt.Polymarket(
pmxt_api_key="pmxt_live_...",
wallet_address="0xYourWalletAddress",
private_key="0xYourPrivateKey",
)
# 1. Check balance
balance = trader.fetch_balance()
print(f"Available balance: {balance[0].available}")
# 2. Fetch markets
markets = trader.fetch_markets(query='Trump')
# 3. Place an order
order = trader.create_order(
market_id=markets[0].market_id,
outcome_id=markets[0].yes.outcome_id,
side='buy',
order_type='market',
amount=5.0,
denom='usdc',
slippage_pct=30.0,
)
print(f"Order status: {order.status}")
```
### Self-hosted trading (advanced)
Use this when you self-host the local server. See [Self-hosted](#self-hosted) for setup. You provide venue credentials directly — no `pmxt_api_key` required. For detailed credential setup instructions, see the exchange-specific guides: [Polymarket](core/docs/SETUP_POLYMARKET.md), [Kalshi](core/docs/SETUP_KALSHI.md), [Limitless](core/docs/SETUP_LIMITLESS.md).
#### Polymarket
```python
exchange = pmxt.Polymarket(
private_key=os.getenv('POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY'),
proxy_address=os.getenv('POLYMARKET_PROXY_ADDRESS'), # Optional: For proxy trading
signature_type='gnosis-safe' # Default
)
```
#### Kalshi
```python
exchange = pmxt.Kalshi(
api_key=os.getenv('KALSHI_API_KEY'),
private_key=os.getenv('KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY') # RSA Private Key
)
```
#### Limitless
```python
exchange = pmxt.Limitless(
api_key=os.getenv('LIMITLESS_API_KEY'),
private_key=os.getenv('LIMITLESS_PRIVATE_KEY') # For order signing (EIP-712)
)
```
## Self-hosted
To self-host pmxt-core on your own machine: `pip install pmxt-core` (Python) or `npm install pmxt-core` (Node.js), then construct any venue client without `pmxt_api_key`. The SDK spawns a local PMXT service; you supply venue credentials directly. See the [self-hosted guide](https://pmxt.dev/docs/guides/self-hosted) for details.
## Documentation
