    # PolyOrderbooks API


    Historical Polymarket **crypto** market data — discovery, prices, liquidity
    metrics, and L2 order books. Read paths query our historical data store;
    they never call Polymarket live.


    ## Base URL


    `https://api.polyorderbooks.com`


    ## Authentication


    All `/v1/*` data routes require an API key.


    Send `X-API-Key: pob_…` or `Authorization: Bearer pob_…`. Dashboard JWT
    session tokens are **not** accepted on data routes.


    ## Plans (hosted)


    | Plan | Req/min | Req/day | Finest resolution | History |

    | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

    | Starter | 60 | 1,000 | 60s | 7 days |

    | Pro | 300 | 50,000 | 1s | 31 days |

    | Scale | 1,000 | 200,000 | 1s | 90 days |


    ## Workflow


    1. `GET /v1/markets` — discover

    2. `GET /v1/markets/{id_or_slug}` — detail

    3. `GET /v1/markets/{id_or_slug}/books` — history
