Infrastructure layer for Prediction Markets

Bravado is a single API surface across prediction market venues, so you integrate once instead of per-venue. Polymarket is supported across every product; see supported prediction markets for coverage by venue. Create and manage your API keys in the Bravado Portal.

Quick Start

Make your first API call and place a market order in under 5 minutes.

Authentication

Set up Bearer token auth and understand API key scopes.

API Reference

Full endpoint reference for Trade, Copytrade, and Data APIs.

Build with AI

Point your coding agents at Bravado docs, llms.txt, and MCP.

Why Bravado

Eight order types

LIMIT, MARKET, TWAP, ICEBERG, PEGGED, STOP_LOSS, TAKE_PROFIT, and TRAILING_STOP for algorithmic strategies on thin books.

Copy-trading built in

Mirror any wallet’s fills with proportional, fixed, or capped sizing. No native equivalent on Polymarket.

Tax-grade analytics

Wallet-level PnL under the Prediction Market Wallet Accounting Standard (PMWAS), with tax statements for realized gains.

  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer demo" } },
);

const pnl = await res.json();
console.log(pnl);
