[CLI tools]() [Starter projects & resources]() ## Screenshots and interface Product preview1 / 1 Current repository README for the read-only terminal. This is documentation, not a running local installation. ## What is PolyTerm? PolyTerm is an open-source command-line watcher for one Polymarket market at a time. Its current README explicitly says that it uses no private keys and places no orders. The watch view distinguishes CLOB top-of-book data from lagged Data API trade prints. Developers can inspect the monitoring session without using a trading account interface. The documentation also explains stale connections, REST fallback and unknown outage status instead of presenting every connected socket as live data. ### Who it is for - Developers monitoring a market from a terminal - Researchers who need explicit data-source and freshness labels ## Features and coverage **Available on:** CLI, Self-hosted **Markets & venues:** Polymarket - **Read-only watch** Select a market by slug, ID or search term. - **Freshness labels** Distinguish WebSocket book data, stale connections and REST fallback. - **Resolution context** Show available UMA and market-resolution flags without inventing a risk grade. ## Workflows with PolyTerm ### Monitor one market Follow the current README installation path, select a market and inspect the source labels in the watch session. ### Diagnose missing data Use stale and outage labels to distinguish an empty trade tape from a failed upstream connection. ## Pricing and total cost The repository is MIT-licensed with no software purchase price stated. Running it uses your own environment and network access. **Access:** The README identifies GitHub main as the current installation source and says the PyPI package is decommissioned. ## Getting started 1. Read the current repository README and command documentation. 2. Review the installation source and local requirements. 3. Choose a market and inspect data-source and freshness labels. ## Useful links ### What to check - The software was not installed or executed in this review.
