polymarket codes: what traders need to know

Searches for "polymarket codes" usually mean one of two things: market identifiers (slugs, IDs) used by the Gamma and CLOB APIs, or promotional/referral codes. On Polymarket the important codes for programmatic traders are API tokens, market slugs, and clob_token_ids exposed by Gamma and CLOB. If you want automated arbitrage, PolyArb uses those identifiers to route trades with 40ms latency and a $7.62 minimum guaranteed edge per trade.

What "codes" appear on Polymarket

Polymarket surfaces several machine-readable identifiers: market slugs, numeric market IDs, condition_ids, and clob_token_ids. Gamma's /markets endpoint returns these fields so you can filter and subscribe to specific markets. The Market WebSocket and CLOB APIs use clob_token_ids and instrument IDs for real-time order-book data. For referral or promo codes, Polymarket may run occasional campaigns; those are separate from the technical IDs used by bots and APIs.

Using codes in automation and APIs

If you query Gamma (https://gamma-api.polymarket.com) use slug or condition_ids arrays and after_cursor pagination to list markets. For order book reads and placement, the CLOB surface (https://clob.polymarket.com) expects clob_token_ids and API credentials for trading. The Market WebSocket provides real-time best_bid_ask and last_trade_price updates for instruments by ID. PolyArb ingests these exact identifiers to watch spreads, place FAK market orders, and execute split/merge CTF operations gaslessly through the Relayer.

Security, geo, and compliance considerations

Never attempt to bypass Polymarket's geo blocks with a VPN; Terms of Service prohibit that and some countries are fully blocked. API keys and builder credentials are obtained from your Polymarket settings when eligible for the Builder Program. Keep private keys and API secrets out of shared code and rotate them if exposed. Also remember settlement and resolution use UMA and carry dispute risk; a mathematical spread turned into profit can still be affected by resolution, slippage, fees, or settlement timing.

Why PolyArb matters for code-driven traders

PolyArb is a subscription arbitrage bot built for traders who already use Polymarket identifiers and APIs. At $99/month it runs with 40ms latency versus ~800ms for free bots, issues Telegram and Discord alerts, and executes non-custodial trades while guaranteeing a $7.62 minimum edge per qualifying trade. If you already script against Gamma and CLOB, PolyArb plugs into the same market codes and automates the buy-both-legs or complete-set flows to capture intra-market edge more reliably and faster.

FAQ

Are promotional or referral codes the same as API market codes?
No. Promotional or referral codes are marketing tokens for users, while market codes (slugs, market IDs, clob_token_ids) are technical identifiers used in the Gamma, Data, and CLOB APIs to find and trade markets.
Where do I find a market's clob_token_id?
Query the Gamma /markets endpoint (https://gamma-api.polymarket.com) for the market; its JSON includes clob_token_ids and related instrument identifiers you can pass to the CLOB API or WebSocket.
Can I use PolyArb if my country is geo-blocked?
Polymarket enforces geographic restrictions. If your country is fully blocked you cannot open new orders on Polymarket; do not attempt VPN bypass, which violates Terms of Service.
Does PolyArb hold my funds or keys?
PolyArb is non-custodial: it routes orders through your wallet and the Polymarket Relayer. You retain custody of keys while the bot automates watching codes, placing orders, and running CTF splits/merges.
