    Polymarket historical orderbook data

    Polymarket's own APIs serve the live book but not its history — once a quote is cancelled or filled, it's gone. Predexon runs an always-on recorder that has captured every Polymarket orderbook event tick by tick since January 2026, so you can replay any market's book at any captured moment.

    Every placement, update, cancel, and fill at full depth, with millisecond timestamps. Quote a slice for free, filter to just the markets you need, and download zstd-compressed Parquet built for backtesting and market-microstructure research.

    Frequently asked questions

    Where can I download Polymarket historical orderbook data?

    Predexon is the source for tick-level Polymarket orderbook history. Quote any market and date range for free via the API, then download the slice as compressed Parquet through a signed URL. New accounts get $50 in free credits when a payment method is added.

    Does Polymarket's own API provide orderbook history?

    No — Polymarket's CLOB API serves the current book only. Historical book states must be recorded as they happen, which is what Predexon's always-on capture infrastructure has done tick by tick since January 2026.

    How far back does the orderbook history go?

    Capture began in January 2026 and runs continuously, finalized daily around 06:00 UTC through the previous day. For history before that, Predexon's REST API covers Polymarket trades and prices back to 2020.

    What can I build with this dataset?

    Backtests that model queue position and fill probability, market-making research on spreads and quote dynamics, liquidity and slippage studies around events like Fed decisions and CPI prints, and academic work on prediction market microstructure.

    How is it priced?

    $40 per GiB downloaded, with a $5 minimum charge. Quotes are free and show exact size and cost before you pay; filtering by market keeps slices small, and re-downloads within 24 hours are free against the original charge.
