Prediction markets allow users to bet on the outcomes of real-world events. Users can buy “Yes” or “No” outcome tokens with the price of these tokens reflecting the market’s collective belief about the likelihood of an event occurring.
Our Markets API provides all the information you need to build prediction market interfaces, including:
- basic protocol information,
- market title and status,
- bid/ask prices for Yes and No outcomes,
- trading volume and open interest,
- outcome tokens information,
- timing information (open, close, expirationTime), etc.
Supported Protocols
Our Markets API currently supports prediction markets from DFlow, who are the official provider for Kalshi. If you want more information on the protocols that are supported or want to request more providers, please refer to the Supported Protocols Section page.Understanding Events and Markets
When working with prediction markets, it’s important to understand the distinction between events and markets:
- Markets are the individual tradable outcomes within an event (e.g., “Democratic Party wins - Yes/No”, “Republican Party wins - Yes/No”)
- Events are groupings of markets (e.g., “Which party will win control of the US House in 2026?”)
Markets
A single event typically has multiple markets. In our example the question “Which party will win control of the US House in 2026?” will create two markets:- Market for the Domocratic Party (Yes/No) and
- Market for the Republican Party (Yes/No).
- CASH market — For purchasing with Phantom’s stable coin
- USDC market — For purchasing with USDC
| Event | Markets | Token |
|---|---|---|
| Control of the House 2026 | Democratic Party (Yes/No) | USDC |
| Democratic Party (Yes/No) | CASH | |
| Republican Party (Yes/No) | USDC | |
| Republican Party (Yes/No) | CASH |
Events
ThebundleId field is the key to grouping markets that belong to the same underlying event. All markets for the same question share the same bundleId, allowing you to:
- Display related bets together in your UI
- Create “position bundles” showing all positions for a single event
- Build event-centric dashboards similar to Kalshi’s interface
Example: Grouping Political Markets
Our API will return you four markets for the “Control of the House 2026” event. In order to make it easier for your users, it is recommended to group these markets by theirbundleId. The example bleow illustrates this concept for the CASH markets:
Multiple markets with same bundleId
bundleId: "house-control-2026", indicating they belong to the same underlying event.
Grouping Markets by Event
Data Structure
Below is an example of a prediction market response from the Markets API. Based on customer demand, we may add more fields to the response in the future. For the latest data structure, please have a look at our Markets API Reference page.Please note that we do our best to design our APIs to be non-breaking. It is
recommended to filter the response and only include the fields / types you
need to ensure it won’t break your application if new fields are added over
time.
Prediction Markets Data Structure
Practical Example
In order to better understand how the API works, let’s walk through an example response for a DFlow prediction market. This example shows a political prediction market for control of the U.S. House:API Response for DFlow Prediction Market
Understanding the Response
What you can see here is the original response from the API. As mentioned in the introduction section, this response is powerful enough to drive full-fledged dashboards and applications. Let’s break it down into its components:-
Market Identity:
id: Unique identifier combining protocol, market type, and market slugtype: Market category (alwayspredictionfor prediction markets)provider: Protocol information for branding in your UItitle: The market question users are betting onsubtitle: Additional context about the market (optional)websiteUrl: Direct link to the market on the protocol’s website
-
Market Status:
status: Current state of the marketopen— Market is active and accepting tradesclosed— Trading has ended, awaiting settlementsettled— Outcome has been determined and payouts processed
result: The final outcome (only present when settled)
-
Pricing (Implied Probabilities):
yesBid(0.23) /yesAsk(0.24) — Bid/ask prices for Yes tokens, implying ~23-24% probabilitynoBid(0.76) /noAsk(0.77) — Bid/ask prices for No tokens, implying ~76-77% probability
-
Market Metrics:
volume($1.86M) — Total trading volume in USDopenInterest($1.11M) — Total value of outstanding positions
-
Timing:
openTime— When the market opened for trading (Unix timestamp)closeTime— When trading will close (Unix timestamp)expirationTime— When the market will be settled (Unix timestamp)
-
Outcome Tokens:
yesToken/noToken— Token information for each outcome, including mint addresses for on-chain interaction
-
Bundle ID:
bundleId(“dflow.prediction.CONTROLH-2026”) — Groups markets belonging to the same underlying event. All markets with the same bundleId are related (e.g., different party outcomes for the same election, or the same market with different purchase tokens).
-
Additional Data: The
additionalDataobject contains protocol-specific metadata. See Protocol-Specific Additional Data for details.
Filtering Prediction Markets
If you are only interested in specific prediction markets, you can use thefilters parameter to refine your API requests.
Filters only work for
prediction market type. Make sure to set this type
before sending your request.openclosedsettled
- Open only:
{"prediction":{"status":["open"]}} - Exclude settled:
{"prediction":{"status":["open","closed"]}}
Tracking Prediction Positions
Our Positions API simplifies position tracking for prediction markets. Without it, tracking DFlow positions requires multiple steps:- Fetch all token accounts for a wallet
- Get tokenized account mints
- Use DFlow’s endpoint to filter outcome token mints
- Fetch market details for those mints
Fetching Positions
Our Positions API is designed to return you all positions for a given wallet address. Then you can add thetype=prediction parameter to filter the positions by market type.
Grouping Positions by Event
Use thebundleId field to group a user’s positions that belong to the same underlying event:
Grouping Positions by Event
Filtering for Active Positions
By default, the Positions API returns all positions. To get only positions in markets that are still actively trading, filter bymarket.status:
Filtering for Active Positions
market.status field indicates the current state of the market:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
open | Market is active and accepting trades |
closed | Trading has ended, awaiting settlement |
settled | Outcome has been determined, position may be redeemable |
Protocol-Specific Additional Data
TheadditionalData field contains DFlow-specific metadata that may be useful for advanced integrations:
DFlow Additional Data
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
ticker | Kalshi’s / DFlow’s specific market identifier (e.g., “CONTROLH-2026-R” for Republicans) |
eventTicker | Event-level identifier — all markets in the same event share this ticker |
marketLedger | On-chain address of the market ledger that handles positions and redemptions |
purchaseToken | The token used to purchase outcome tokens (USDC or CASH) |
redemptionStatus | Current redemption state: open or pending |
The
eventTicker in additionalData corresponds conceptually to the
bundleId field. Both can be used to identify markets that belong together.
