GET
Browse Active Markets
For category- and property-based filtering (the structured filters Limitless uses to organize markets), use the Market Pages endpoints: resolve a page with Get Market Page by Path to read its baseFilter and filterGroups, then List Markets for a Page. GET /markets/active returns a flat list with basic filtering.
tradeType filter values. Selects the market’s trading model:
  • amm — Automated market maker. Prices are set algorithmically against a liquidity pool, and you trade directly against the curve.
  • clob — Central limit order book. Independent YES/NO bids and asks match at prices set by makers and takers. Supports market and limit orders. See CLOB Overview.
  • group — Multi-outcome group (also called Negrisk / category markets). Multiple outcomes are bundled and only one can win; the NO shares across outcomes are linked, which makes collateral more efficient. See Negrisk Markets.
automationType filter values. Selects how a market is created and resolved:
  • lumy — Price-oracle-driven markets created by the recurring launch jobs (for example crypto or stock price ladders). Individual markets carry a price_oracle_id; group markets qualify when any child does. These resolve automatically at the deadline via the oracle (typically Pyth). The Lumy category tag is a branding label and is not the same signal — always filter by automationType, not by tag.
  • manual — Markets that are not oracle-driven and not sports/esports fixtures. Resolved by the Limitless team against the criteria on the market page, typically within 24–72 hours of the deadline. See Market Resolution.
  • sports — Sports fixture markets (identified by a fixtureId or the sports event provider). Resolved from the fixture result feed.
