    Kalshi historical orderbook data

    Kalshi's API tells you what the book looks like now — not what it looked like during last month's CPI print. Predexon has recorded the complete Kalshi orderbook tick by tick from always-on infrastructure since January 2026, so you can replay any market's full depth at any captured moment.

    Every placement, update, cancel, and fill with millisecond timestamps, in the same normalized schema as our Polymarket history — so cross-venue microstructure research works without any mapping code. Quote slices for free, download as compressed Parquet.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where can I download Kalshi historical orderbook data?

    Predexon provides tick-level Kalshi orderbook history. Quote any market and date range for free via the API to see exact size and cost, then download compressed Parquet through a signed URL. New accounts get $50 in free credits.

    Does Kalshi's own API provide historical orderbook data?

    No — Kalshi's API serves the current orderbook only. Book history has to be recorded in real time as events happen, which is what Predexon's always-on capture infrastructure does.

    Is Kalshi data in the same format as Polymarket data?

    Yes — one normalized schema across venues. A backtest or research pipeline written against Predexon's Polymarket tick data runs on Kalshi data unchanged.

    What can I build with Kalshi orderbook history?

    Backtests for event-contract strategies around economic releases, market-making and spread research, liquidity analysis across strike ladders, and academic studies of regulated event markets.
