Kalshi — Prediction Markets Before writing queries, consult references/api reference.md for sport codes, series tickers, and command parameters. Quick Start Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues: Python SDK (alternative): CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any market endpoint, verify: The sport parameter is always passed to search markets and get todays events for single game markets. Prices are on a 0 100 integer scale (20 = 20% implied probability) — do not treat as American odds. status="open" is used when querying markets to exclude settled/closed markets. Without the sport parameter: Important Notes On Kalshi, "Football" = NFL. For football/soccer (EPL, La Liga, etc.), use sport codes: epl , ucl , laliga , bundesliga , seriea , ligue1 , mls , worldcup . Prices are probabilities. A last price of 20 means 20% implied probability. Scale is 0 100 (not 0 1 like Polymarket). Always use status="open" when querying markets, otherwise results include settled/closed markets. Shared interface with Polymarket: search markets(sport=...) , get todays events(sport=...) , and get sports config() work the same way on both platforms. Workflows Sport Market Search (Recommended) 1. search markets sport=nba — finds all open NBA markets. 2. Optionally add query="Lakers" to filter by keyword. 3. Results include yes bid, no bid, volume for each market. Today's Events 1. get todays events sport=nba — open events with nested markets. 2. Present events with prices (price = implied probability, 0 100 scale). Futures Market Check 1. get markets series ticker=<ticker status=open 2. Sort by last price descending. 3. Present top contenders with probability and volume. Market Price History 1. Get market ticker from search markets sport=nba . 2. get market candlesticks series ticker=<s ticker=<t start ts=<start end ts=<end period interval=60 3. Present OHLC with volume.

Use search markets or get markets to find market prices. ~~ get team schedule ~~ — does not exist. Kalshi has markets, not schedules. Use the sport specific skill for schedules. ~~ get scores ~~ / ~~ get results ~~ — does not exist. Kalshi is a prediction market. Use the sport specific skill. If a command is not listed in references/api reference.md , it does not exist. Troubleshooting Error: search markets returns 0 results Cause: The sport parameter is missing — without it, search only returns high volume futures and misses single game markets Solution: Always pass sport='<code ' to search markets . Check references/api reference.md for valid sport codes Error: Markets returned include settled/expired contracts Cause: status parameter is not set Solution: Always pass status="open" to filter to open markets only Error: Series ticker returns no results Cause: The series ticker may be incorrect or have no open markets Solution: Call get series list() to discover available tickers, or check references/series tickers.md Error: Football/soccer markets not found when searching "Football" Cause: On Kalshi, "Football" refers to NFL — soccer uses league specific codes Solution: Use sport='epl' , sport='ucl' , sport='laliga' , etc. for soccer leagues
