## API base URL and authentication

- **API origin (from OpenAPI `servers`):** `https://api.socialfetch.dev`
- **Authentication:** send `x-api-key: sfk_...` on `/v1/**` and `/v2/**` routes unless the operation is explicitly anonymous (check OpenAPI `security`, the [API reference hub](https://www.socialfetch.dev/docs/api.mdx), [`/llms.txt`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.txt), or [`/llms.json`](https://www.socialfetch.dev/llms.json) for each route).

## Markdown docs convention

- Every docs page has a markdown twin: append **`.mdx`** to the docs pathname (for example `/docs/quickstart` → `/docs/quickstart.mdx`).
- Agents that send `Accept: text/markdown` on `/docs/**` HTML URLs may receive markdown directly (same URL, `Vary: Accept`).
- Published blog posts use the same convention: `/blog/{slug}` → `/blog/{slug}.mdx`, or `Accept: text/markdown` on the HTML URL (`Vary: Accept`).

## Parameters

### `status` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; enum: open, closed, all
- **Description:** Which items to list: `open` (default), `closed` (ended or resolved) or `all`. `open` is Polymarket's own flag and can outlast the end date.

### `tag` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 120; pattern: `^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$`
- **Description:** Only events with this tag: a tag id or slug.

### `query` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 200
- **Description:** Words to find in event titles. Titles are English, so search in English.

### `sort` (query)

- **Required:** no

### `minVolume` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `number`; minimum: 0; maximum: 1000000000000000
- **Description:** Only events with at least this much volume (US dollars).

### `maxVolume` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `number`; minimum: 0; maximum: 1000000000000000
- **Description:** Only events with at most this much volume (US dollars).

### `minLiquidity` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `number`; minimum: 0; maximum: 1000000000000000
- **Description:** Only events with at least this much liquidity.

### `startDateFrom` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`
- **Description:** Only events starting on or after this date.

### `startDateTo` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`
- **Description:** Only events starting on or before this date.

- **Description:** Translate titles and market questions into this language. Descriptions stay in English.

### `limit` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `integer`; minimum: 1; maximum: 25
- **Description:** Events per page, 1–25. Default: 20. Each event carries all of its markets and the busiest hold hundreds, so a page stays small. Use `cursor` for the next page.

### `cursor` (query)

- **Required:** no
- **Constraints:** type `string`; minLength: 1; maxLength: 6000
- **Description:** Pass `page.nextCursor` from the previous response to get the next page. Keep the other filters the same.

## Pagination

This endpoint uses **cursor-based pagination** via the `cursor` query parameter.

- Read **hasMore** from `data.page.hasMore`.
- When that value is `true`, read **nextCursor** from `data.page.nextCursor` and pass it as the `cursor` query parameter on the **next** request (URL-encode when building a query string).
- Omit `cursor` on the **first** request.
- Stop when **hasMore** is `false` or **nextCursor** is null (end of list).

## Responses (status codes)

- **200**: Polymarket events.
- **400**: Invalid request
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key
- **402**: Insufficient credits
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed.
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff.

### Machine-readable error codes

When an error JSON body is returned, it may include one of these `error.code` values (derived from the OpenAPI schemas for this operation; additional codes may exist at runtime):

- `bad_request`

## Error handling & retries

Interpret HTTP status codes using the descriptions below. Do not assume a JSON body unless the OpenAPI schema defines one for that status.

- **400**: Invalid request **Retry:** Fix the request; retrying the same invalid payload will not help.
- **401**: Missing or invalid API key **Retry:** Fix the API key first; retrying without changes will not help.
- **402**: Insufficient credits **Retry:** Do not retry without resolving billing/credits (retrying the same request will not help).
- **500**: Unexpected or billing error
- **502**: Lookup could not be completed. **Retry:** May be transient; a few retries with backoff are reasonable.
- **503**: Service temporarily unavailable; safe to retry with backoff. **Retry:** Usually safe to retry with exponential backoff and jitter.

### Suggested client defaults

- Send the API key using the `x-api-key` header on every request.
- On `503` (and sometimes `502`), retry with backoff; cap retries and surface a clear error to the user.
- On `402`, surface an actionable billing message rather than blind retries.

## Examples

### TypeScript SDK

```typescript
import { SocialFetchClient } from "@socialfetch/sdk";

const client = new SocialFetchClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SOCIALFETCH_API_KEY!,
});

const result = await client.polymarket.listEvents({
  status: "open",
  limit: 5,
});

if (!result.ok) {
  console.error(result.error);
} else {
  console.log(result.value.data);
}
```

### Node.js

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/polymarket/events?status=open&limit=5",
  {
    headers: {
      "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
);

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
```

### cURL

```bash
curl "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/polymarket/events?status=open&limit=5" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Python

```python
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/polymarket/events?status=open&limit=5",
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()
print(data)
```

### Example: next page (pagination)

After a successful response, if pagination is not finished, request the next page using `cursor` (URL-encode when composing the query string):

```javascript
const previous = await response.json();
const nextCursor = previous?.data?.page?.nextCursor;
const hasMore = previous?.data?.page?.hasMore;
if (!hasMore || nextCursor == null) {
  // no more pages
} else {
  const nextUrl = new URL("https://api.socialfetch.dev/v1/polymarket/events");
  nextUrl.searchParams.set("cursor", nextCursor);
  // optionally preserve sort: nextUrl.searchParams.set("sortBy", "latest");
  const nextResponse = await fetch(nextUrl.toString(), {
    headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
  });
  const nextData = await nextResponse.json();
}
```
