Market (Kalshi)

A single Kalshi market by ticker, with prices and status. Returns the full Kalshi market object, including resolution rules and timing, and automatically checks Kalshi's historical tier when a settled market has left the live tier.

Plans All plansPlan rate limits apply

Full Kalshi market ticker (path parameter), for example KXBTC15M-26AUG190815-15. Replace {ticker} in the path; do not send ticker as a query parameter, and do not use event_ticker.
