Bot for Polymarket
Pillar handbook
Polymarket trading bots — operator handbook (2026)
Most “Polymarket trading bot” pages are affiliate tables. This handbook is the operator path: route correctly, model fees, diligence tools (including malware), paper before size — then decide build vs waitlist.
Bot for Polymarket is a hosted no-code builder for Polymarket operators. We do not claim every access path is live for every user today. We claim we will not paper over residency, fees, or custody.
Start here (in order)
- Route — US vs International — two APIs; wrong path = wasted stack
- Map the US API — documented calls before an order loop
- Model fees — July 2026 US Θ and why mid-price hurts takers
- Diligence tools — SaaS, Telegram, GitHub filters
- Audit copy trading — wallet mirroring, lag, and custody
- Security — malicious GitHub/npm “bots”
- Paper & risk — kill switches before capital
- Choose DIY or SaaS — custody, ops, and time-to-first-order
- Build or waitlist — ops capacity, not vibes
- Calculate current CLOB V2 fee layers — category, builder charge, weighted volume, and honest rebate unknowns
