1. Fetch by Slug

Use Case: When you need to retrieve a specific market or event that you already know about.

Individual markets and events are best fetched using their unique slug identifier. The slug can be found directly in the Polymarket frontend URL.

How to Extract the Slug

From any Polymarket URL, the slug is the path segment after /event/ or /market/:

https://polymarket.com/event/fed-decision-in-october?tid=1758818660485
                            ↑
                  Slug: fed-decision-in-october

API Endpoints

For Events: GET /events/slug/{slug}

For Markets: GET /markets/slug/{slug}

Examples

curl "https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/events/slug/fed-decision-in-october"
