What is TickTape Polymarket Preflight Checks?
TickTape is an independent pre-flight layer for Polymarket that helps Openclaw Skills agents and traders validate risk before placing a trade or copying a wallet. It analyzes live order books and identity-tagged trade history to return deterministic verdicts: OK, CAUTION, VETO for orders and COPY, WATCH, VETO for wallets, always with numeric reasons.
It is designed as a guardrail, not a trading engine. TickTape does not predict prices, take custody, or execute orders. Instead, it helps you enforce slippage limits, estimate safe order size, screen copy-trading candidates, and avoid wallets that look popular but perform poorly for copiers.
TickTape Polymarket Preflight Checks Use Cases
- Before sending a Polymarket order, run
preflight_tradeto check slippage, depth, fee drag, and safe size. - Before copying a wallet, run
preflight_copyto see whether it is COPY, WATCH, or VETO. - When choosing whom to copy, compare
leaderboardandred_listto find wallets with strong copier ROI and avoid underperformers. - During agent orchestration, block risky trades client-side when TickTape returns CAUTION or VETO.
- In integration tests, use
sandbox=1to validate exact field shapes without spending money. - When building agent tools, use prepaid credits or x402 payment flows to automate authenticated API calls.
How TickTape Polymarket Preflight Checks Works
- Detect the trigger: trade preflight, wallet preflight, leaderboard lookup, or credit check.
- Resolve the target identifier: use
token_idwhen possible, orslug+outcomefor a market; use awallet=0x...address for copy checks. - Call the JSON endpoint over HTTPS at
https://ticktape.cc, choosing sandbox, x402, or prepaid-credits auth depending on the environment. - Read the structured response: verdict plus
reasons[],numbers, and cache or retry metadata such asnext_refresh_atorretry_after_seconds. - Apply the decision locally: stop on VETO, shrink size to
safe_size_usdon CAUTION, or proceed only when the rules you set still pass. - Cache refresh-aware data and respect payment rules so you do not repurchase nightly static data or double-charge signed authorizations.
TickTape Polymarket Preflight Checks Setup
For Openclaw Skills deployments, start in sandbox, then add payment and spend caps before enabling live calls.
- Install the zero-dependency JS SDK:
npm install ticktape
- Test an endpoint in sandbox mode:
curl 'https://ticktape.cc/api/preflight_trade?sandbox=1&token_id=123&usd=250'
- Probe live payment terms before paying:
curl 'https://ticktape.cc/api/preflight_trade?x402_probe=1&token_id=123&usd=250'
- For prepaid credits, buy a pack once and store the bearer token securely:
export TICKTAPE_TOKEN=tk_your_token_here
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer tk_your_token_here' 'https://ticktape.cc/api/credits'
- Enforce client-side spend caps and verify the x402 terms: only pay when
payTomatches TickTape's published address and the asset is USDC on Base. - Cache
leaderboard,red_list, and copy profiles untilnext_refresh_atto avoid repurchasing unchanged nightly data.
TickTape Polymarket Preflight Checks Data Schema & Taxonomy
TickTape is stateless from the client perspective: it returns JSON and does not create local files by default. Most integrations cache raw responses externally by endpoint and parameter set until the API refreshes them.
| Artifact | Source | Key fields | Refresh / TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preflight trade response | /api/preflight_trade |
verdict, reasons[], numbers.best_price, numbers.expected_vwap, numbers.expected_slippage_cents, numbers.visible_depth_usd, numbers.taker_fee_usd, numbers.fee_drag_cents_per_share, numbers.safe_size_usd, numbers.book_age_seconds |
Live snapshot; honor book age |
| Preflight copy response | /api/preflight_copy |
verdict, copier_roi, win_rate, entry_price_buckets, category_mix, reasons[] |
Live or queued; retry after retry_after_seconds when QUEUED |
| Leaderboard / red list | /api/leaderboard, /api/red_list |
wallet ratings, simulated copier ROI, fee/slippage-adjusted performance, next_refresh_at |
Nightly refresh; cache until next_refresh_at |
| Credits | /api/credits |
pack info, balance, bearer token state | Free lookup; token remains valid until rotated |
Metadata taxonomy:
- Verdict taxonomy:
OK,CAUTION,VETO,COPY,WATCH,NO_COVERAGE,QUEUED - Risk numbers: slippage, visible depth, taker fee, safe size, book age
- Payment metadata: HTTP 402 terms,
accepts[], x402 payment, bearer tokentk_... - Cache metadata:
next_refresh_at,retry_after_seconds - Transport: JSON only, HTTPS only, no HTML
Generated files: none by default. If you persist outputs, store immutable JSON snapshots plus the request parameters used to create them.
