predict.price-history

Time-series price (implied-probability) history for a Polymarket outcome token. Pass the CLOB token id and an interval (1h, 6h, 1d, 1w, 1m, max). Returns timestamped price points — for charting how a market's odds moved. Read-only from Polymarket's CLOB.

Overview

The price history API is a pay-per-call predict endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. Time-series price (implied-probability) history for a Polymarket outcome token.

There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in price history data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs predict data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.

Use cases

• Give an AI agent live price history lookups as a tool, with no API key to provision or rotate — the agent pays per call from a wallet you fund.
• Enrich records in a data pipeline with predict data, paying only for the calls you actually make instead of a monthly seat.
• Ground LLM answers in authoritative predict data to cut hallucination, then optionally request a signed response for verifiability.
• Prototype against the live price history API in minutes using the free trial call, then flip to per-call x402 payment for production with no code change.

Parameters

Code samples

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/predict/price-history?tokenId=example&interval=1h&fidelity=1'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/predict/price-history?tokenId=example&interval=1h&fidelity=1' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/predict/price-history?tokenId=example&interval=1h&fidelity=1'

import { TwoS } from '@2sio/sdk'

const client = new TwoS({

})

const result = await client.predict.priceHistory({
  "tokenId": "example",
  "interval": "1h",
  "fidelity": 1
})

console.log('endpoint:', result.endpoint)
console.log('cost:', result.costUsd, 'USDC')
console.log('tx:', result.settlement?.txHash)
console.log('data:', result.data)

print("endpoint:", result.endpoint)
print("cost:", result.cost_usd, "USDC")

print("data:", result.data)

// 1. Add @2sio/mcp to your MCP host config (Claude Desktop example below).
//    EVM_PRIVATE_KEY funds x402 payments per call.

FAQ

Do I need an API key to use the price history API?

No. predict.price-history is x402-native — there is no signup and no API key. Your client makes the call, receives a 402 with payment requirements, signs a USDC payment, and retries. Funds come from a wallet you control.

How much does the price history API cost?

$0.0020 USDC per call, charged per request. There are no monthly fees, seats, or minimums — you pay only for the calls you make.

Can I try the price history API for free first?

Yes. Add ?trial=1 (or the header X-2s-Trial: 1) to get a free real call per endpoint per hour, so you can verify the response shape before wiring payment.

Which networks and tokens are supported?

USDC on Base (via EIP-3009 transferWithAuthorization) or Solana (SPL transfer), using the open x402 payment protocol.

How do I call predict.price-history from an AI agent or MCP host?

Use @2sio/sdk (TypeScript), 2sio (Python), or the @2sio/mcp server for any MCP host — each handles the probe → sign → retry loop for you. See the code samples on this page.
