The Vera API
The news that moves prediction markets: surfaced, mapped to the markets it affects, and delivered in near real-time.
What Vera is
Vera watches the news the way a newsroom does, thousands of stories a day, and tells you which prediction markets each one moves. Every event arrives already paired to the markets it affects, with a plain read on which outcome the news points to, how strongly, and why. The work you'd otherwise do by hand (watching the firehose, working out which market a headline touches) is already done for you.
One REST endpoint (GET /pm/v2/news) gives you the full news feed with context, rationale, market snapshots, and momentum tags. A WebSocket delivers news items in real-time as they are published.
Where to read next
If you have a key and want to make a call:
- Quickstart: curl, Python, and TypeScript walkthroughs.
- Authentication: API key mechanics, key rotation, scopes.
- REST endpoints: the endpoint, every parameter, and an example response.
- WebSocket: live news event stream.
If you want to understand how the shape works:
- Schema: every field of every record, with the definitions for the interpretive fields.
- Rate limits: sustained, burst, daily quota, WebSocket caps, and what happens when you hit any of them.
- Errors: the error envelope, status codes, and the conventions for retrying.
What Vera is not
Vera is informational and interpretive. The output is not investment advice, not a trading signal, and not a recommendation to take any position. The interpretive fields are simple low / moderate / high levels meant to help you sort and prioritise events. They are not probabilities or expected returns. See the schema definitions and the full disclaimer for the long form.
