Build a Real-Time Polymarket Order Book Monitor
A trading bot should not make decisions from stale snapshots. If you want to understand liquidity, spread, depth, or changes in market structure, you need a continuously updated view of the Polymarket order book.
This tutorial builds a lightweight Polymarket order book Python monitor using the public CLOB Market WebSocket. Polymarket documents this channel as a real-time feed for order-book, price, and market lifecycle updates.
The implementation intentionally focuses on market data—not order execution—so it can be used as the foundation for research, dashboards, alerts, or an automated trading system.
