Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the official SDK or can I use community ones?
The official Python client (py-clob-client) is well-maintained and handles authentication correctly. Community SDKs can be excellent but vary in quality — check last commit date and issues before adopting one.
Which SDK supports WebSocket streaming?
The CLOB API supports WebSocket for real-time data. Look for SDKs that explicitly mention WebSocket support, as not all wrappers implement the streaming interface.
Can I use Polymarket APIs without a wallet?
Yes for read-only operations (market data, historical trades, orderbook). You need a wallet signing key only for placing orders via the CLOB API.
