# PolyTape

> The Polymarket trader-intelligence layer for you and your AI agent.

## Docs

- [Authentication](https://docs.polytape.io/authentication.md): API keys and OAuth for the PolyTape agent plane — minting, header usage, key limits per plan, and what a key can and cannot do.
- [Reading the numbers](https://docs.polytape.io/concepts/pnl.md): Three P/L voices live on this API. Which one to quote, how to label it, and the caveats that keep a verdict honest.
- [Token thrift](https://docs.polytape.io/concepts/token-thrift.md): Payloads on this API vary by three orders of magnitude. Two rules save most of it.
- [Errors](https://docs.polytape.io/errors.md): Every error code the PolyTape agent plane returns, what it means, and whether to retry.
- [Plotting](https://docs.polytape.io/guides/plotting.md): Charts your user can read — the grammar, the validated palette, the honest labels, and the ready-made templates you pour data into.
- [Recipes](https://docs.polytape.io/guides/recipes.md): Five worked end-to-end flows with measured call and token costs — crack a trader, compare two, read a market, monitor a wallet, plot the tape.
- [PolyTape for agents](https://docs.polytape.io/index.md): The Polymarket trader-intelligence layer for you and your AI agent. Every trader's full on-chain history, over MCP or REST.
- [MCP overview](https://docs.polytape.io/mcp/overview.md): The PolyTape MCP server — endpoint, transport, connecting, and the caching rule that bites everyone once.
- [MCP tools](https://docs.polytape.io/mcp/tools.md): All 13 PolyTape MCP tools and the crack_this_trader prompt — signatures, what each returns, and when to reach for it.
- [Plans & limits](https://docs.polytape.io/plans-and-limits.md): The PolyTape ladder — agent calls, API rate, history depth, daily trader lookups, live slots, storage, and keys — plus what each wall looks like on the wire.
- [Quickstart](https://docs.polytape.io/quickstart.md): Connect an agent to PolyTape in under five minutes — the claude.ai connector, any MCP client, or a raw API key.
- [REST overview](https://docs.polytape.io/rest/overview.md): Base URL, conventions, pagination, and the two orientation endpoints of the PolyTape agent REST API.
- [Tapes](https://docs.polytape.io/rest/tapes.md): Your recorded watch sessions over REST — the cassette library, one tape's metadata, its parsed events, and the bulk export.
- [Traders](https://docs.polytape.io/rest/traders.md): The on-chain archive over REST — career card, markets, top markets, per-market summary, the sampled chart, the full tape, the equity curve, and cross-market fills.
