System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Provides a straightforward programmatic interface to trade and monitor event-based contracts on a regulated prediction market, removing manual browsing and manual order entry for algorithmic traders and automation systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event contract trading: Place, update, and cancel orders against Kalshi event contracts via REST endpoints.
  • Real-time market data: Retrieve live prices, order book snapshots, and market status for low-latency decision making.
  • Order placement and management: Submit authenticated limit and market orders, track fills, and manage active positions.
  • Portfolio tracking & compliance: Monitor holdings and P&L while operating within a CFTC-regulated exchange environment.
  • Use Case: Build an automated strategy that monitors probability shifts for election markets, places hedging orders when thresholds are met, and tracks portfolio exposure across events.

Quick Start

Connect to the Kalshi trading API with your API key, fetch live market data for a named event, and place a limit buy order for a selected contract.
