PM Microprice (YES)

Size-weighted YES microprice.

polymarket.pm_micropricesize-weighted midPolymarket

What it measures

The size-weighted microprice of the Polymarket YES order book — the same construction as the crypto microprice, applied to a binary contract whose price is a probability. When resting bids outweigh asks, the microprice sits above the mid: the book's own estimate of fair probability, finer than the mid alone. Because the contract resolves to 0 or 1, deviations between microprice and mid read directly in probability points.

Point-in-time, leak-free

Like every QUANT_API feature, polymarket.pm_microprice is computed point-in-time: each value uses only data that had actually arrived at the timestamp you query — live or historical. No restatements, no backfills that quietly rewrite the past, no look-ahead. The value your backtest sees at a given stamp is the value the live API would have returned at that stamp. How we enforce this is documented on the methodology page.

Windows & transforms

The signal is computed over rolling windows; each window can be served raw or through a transform (z-score, percentile rank, delta…). Which windows and transforms you can query depends on your plan — the signal itself supports:

Example call

Resolve the latest value for BTC (5m window, delta transform — both available on the Signal plan):

curl -G https://api.quant-api.dev/v1/features/live \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fk_live_<your_key>" \
  --data-urlencode "asset=BTC" \
  --data-urlencode "features=polymarket.pm_microprice@5m:delta"

Same key works on /v1/features/historical for point-in-time backtesting — see the API docs.
