### `POST /v0/bet`
Places a new bet on behalf of the authorized user.
Parameters:
- `amount`: Required. The amount to bet, in M$, before fees.
- `contractId`: Required. The ID of the contract (market) to bet on.
- `outcome`: Required. The outcome to bet on. For binary markets, this is `YES`
or `NO`. For free response markets, this is the ID of the free response
answer. For numeric markets, this is a string representing the target bucket,
and an additional `value` parameter is required which is a number representing
the target value. (Bet on numeric markets at your own peril.)
- `limitProb`: Optional. A number between `0.001` and `0.999` inclusive representing
the limit probability for your bet (i.e. 0.1% to 99.9% — multiply by 100 for the
probability percentage).
The bet will execute immediately in the direction of `outcome`, but not beyond this
specified limit. If not all the bet is filled, the bet will remain as an open offer
that can later be matched against an opposite direction bet.
- For example, if the current market probability is `50%`:
- A `M$10` bet on `YES` with `limitProb=0.4` would not be filled until the market
probability moves down to `40%` and someone bets `M$15` of `NO` to match your
bet odds.
- A `M$100` bet on `YES` with `limitProb=0.6` would fill partially or completely
depending on current unfilled limit bets and the AMM's liquidity. Any remaining
portion of the bet not filled would remain to be matched against in the future.
- An unfilled limit order bet can be cancelled using the cancel API.
Example request:
```
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/bet -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"amount":1, \
"outcome":"YES", \
"contractId":"{...}"}'
```
### `POST /v0/bet/cancel/[id]`
Cancel the limit order of a bet with the specified id. If the bet was unfilled, it will be cancelled so that no other bets will match with it. This is action irreversable.
### `POST /v0/market`
Creates a new market on behalf of the authorized user.
Parameters:
- `outcomeType`: Required. One of `BINARY`, `FREE_RESPONSE`, or `NUMERIC`.
- `question`: Required. The headline question for the market.
- `description`: Required. A long description describing the rules for the market.
- Note: string descriptions do **not** turn into links, mentions, formatted text. Instead, rich text descriptions must be in [TipTap json](https://tiptap.dev/guide/output#option-1-json).
- `closeTime`: Required. The time at which the market will close, represented as milliseconds since the epoch.
- `tags`: Optional. An array of string tags for the market.
For binary markets, you must also provide:
- `initialProb`: An initial probability for the market, between 1 and 99.
For numeric markets, you must also provide:
- `min`: The minimum value that the market may resolve to.
- `max`: The maximum value that the market may resolve to.
Example request:
```
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}'
--data-raw '{"outcomeType":"BINARY", \
"question":"Is there life on Mars?", \
"description":"I'm not going to type some long ass example description.", \
"closeTime":1700000000000, \
"initialProb":25}'
```
### `POST /v0/market/[marketId]/resolve`
Resolves a market on behalf of the authorized user.
Parameters:
For binary markets:
- `outcome`: Required. One of `YES`, `NO`, `MKT`, or `CANCEL`.
- `probabilityInt`: Optional. The probability to use for `MKT` resolution.
For free response markets:
- `outcome`: Required. One of `MKT`, `CANCEL`, or a `number` indicating the answer index.
- `resolutions`: An array of `{ answer, pct }` objects to use as the weights for resolving in favor of multiple free response options. Can only be set with `MKT` outcome.
For numeric markets:
- `outcome`: Required. One of `CANCEL`, or a `number` indicating the selected numeric bucket ID.
- `value`: The value that the market may resolves to.
Example request:
```
# Resolve a binary market
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{marketId}/resolve -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"outcome": "YES"}'
# Resolve a binary market with a specified probability
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{marketId}/resolve -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"outcome": "MKT", \
"probabilityInt": 75}'
# Resolve a free response market with a single answer chosen
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{marketId}/resolve -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"outcome": 2}'
# Resolve a free response market with multiple answers chosen
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{marketId}/resolve -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"outcome": "MKT", \
"resolutions": [ \
{"answer": 0, "pct": 50}, \
{"answer": 2, "pct": 50} \
]}'
```
### `POST /v0/market/[marketId]/sell`
Sells some quantity of shares in a binary market on behalf of the authorized user.
Parameters:
- `outcome`: Optional. One of `YES`, or `NO`. If you leave it off, and you only
own one kind of shares, you will sell that kind of shares.
- `shares`: Optional. The amount of shares to sell of the outcome given
above. If not provided, all the shares you own will be sold.
Example request:
```
$ curl https://manifold.markets/api/v0/market/{marketId}/sell -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Key {...}' \
--data-raw '{"outcome": "YES", "shares": 10}'
```
### `GET /v0/bets`
Gets a list of bets, ordered by creation date descending.
Parameters:
- `username`: Optional. If set, the response will include only bets created by this user.
- `market`: Optional. The slug of a market. If set, the response will only include bets on this market.
- `limit`: Optional. How many bets to return. The maximum and the default is 1000.
- `before`: Optional. The ID of the bet before which the list will start. For
example, if you ask for the most recent 10 bets, and then perform a second
query for 10 more bets with `before=[the id of the 10th bet]`, you will
get bets 11 through 20.
Requires no authorization.
- Example request
```
