What is Polymarket CLI?
Polymarket CLI wraps market discovery, price reads and account operations in terminal commands. Public commands work without a wallet, and JSON output makes the same interface useful in scripts. Configured account commands cover orders, approvals and supported conditional-token operations.

Workflows with Polymarket CLI
Create a research script
Search markets, retain outcome-token IDs and request books as JSON. Parse the error object and process exit status explicitly.
Inspect a trade candidate
Read the exact market, tick size, fee rate and ask or bid before constructing an order command.
Operate an account from the terminal
Inspect the configured wallet and signature type, then use narrowly scoped order and cancellation commands.
Pricing and total cost
The public CLI has no listed subscription. Venue fees and applicable on-chain transaction costs are separate.
Getting started
Before you start: Market IDs, condition IDs and outcome-token IDs serve different commands.
- Install through the official repository’s supported package or build route.
- Run a small public market listing.
- Use -o json for scripting.
- Resolve the correct outcome token before book or order commands.
- Configure wallet identity only for account actions.
- Check the installed release against current official wallet and client conventions.
Useful links
What to check
- Market IDs, condition IDs and outcome-token IDs serve different commands.
- A limit order size is a share count, while a market-buy amount is a spend amount.
- The README’s wallet examples use older proxy, EOA and Safe conventions; verify support for the account type in the installed version.
- JSON errors appear on stdout with a nonzero exit status.
- Approval and conditional-token commands submit transactions.
