Trades - Polymarket Data SDK

client.data.core.getTrades returns historical fills across markets. Combine filters to analyse liquidity, user behaviour, or market conditions.

Request

const trades = await client.data.core.getTrades(params);

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Notes
`limit`	`number` (0–10000)	`100`	Page size.
`offset`	`number` (0–10000)	`0`	Page offset.
`takerOnly`	`boolean`	`true`	Set to `false` to include maker fills.
`filterType`	`"CASH" \| "TOKENS"`	–	Must be provided with `filterAmount`.
`filterAmount`	`number` (≥ 0)	–	Minimum cash/tokens threshold.
`market`	`string[]`	–	Condition IDs (mutually exclusive with `eventId`).
`eventId`	`number[]`	–	Event IDs (mutually exclusive with `market`).
`user`	`string` (address)	–	Filter by participant.
`side`	`"BUY" \| "SELL"`	–	Filter by trade direction.

⚠️ Provide both filterType and filterAmount or neither. Mixing them triggers a validation error. Likewise, market and eventId cannot be combined.
