How do I check prediction market odds?
Tell Astra what event you want to know about — she queries Polymarket's public API for real-time prediction market prices on politics, tech, crypto, science, and more.
What can I ask?
- "What are the odds of the Fed cutting rates in June?"
- "What does Polymarket say about the next US election?"
- "Check the probability of Bitcoin reaching $200K this year"
- "What's the market saying about the next Apple product launch?"
- "Show me the prediction market for AI regulation passing this year"
How does it work?
Prices on Polymarket represent probability — a price of 0.65 means the market thinks there's a 65% chance. Astra queries the public API (free, no key needed) and returns current prices, trading volume, and market history.
