Practical overview

When it fits

Use Polyterm when you want a terminal watch session for one Polymarket market and need its quotes, lagged prints, resolution state or service status in one display.

Who it is for

  • People who want to follow Polymarket market data from a terminal.
  • Users who want a read-only view of a configured wallet’s lagged position in the selected market.

Documented uses

  • Watch a selected market’s best bid and ask, including available quote size.
  • Review lagged fills from the Data API and the number seen in the current session.
  • Check available UMA or resolution flags and whether Gamma and CLOB are both down.
  • View a configured wallet’s lagged Data API position for the selected market.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project documents installation from GitHub main using pipx and says PyPI is decommissioned. Python 3.8 or later is listed as a requirement.

  • The watch session follows one market at a time.
  • Data API prints and wallet positions are lagged; they are not live CLOB fills.
  • Order-book REST fallback and stale WebSocket conditions receive explicit labels.
  • The application is read-only and does not place orders.
  • The README lists both a CLI and a TUI, while the documented install-and-watch example uses the CLI.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install Polyterm and start a market watch

Install Polyterm from GitHub and open a terminal watch session for a selected market.

Steps

  1. Install the main-branch version with pipx install git+https://github.com/NYTEMODEONLY/polyterm.git@main.

  2. Start a session with polyterm watch --market bitcoin, replacing bitcoin with a Gamma slug, market ID or search term.

Expected outcome

A terminal session displays the selected market’s order-book quotes, lagged Data API prints, resolution flags and status information.

Guide limitations
