AI Summary
Summary
The post announces the acquisition of DomeAPI by Polymarket, creating a void for developers who need a unified API to trade across multiple prediction markets.
The author, who is the maintainer of a competing project, presents three open-source alternatives (pmxt, predmarket, dr-manhattan) for algorithmic traders in the prediction market space.
Quality assessment: This is a technical announcement and resource-sharing post, not financial due diligence (DD). It provides valuable information for a niche audience (algo traders on prediction markets) but is not investment advice. The author has a clear conflict of interest as the maintainer of one of the recommended tools.

Hey everyone,
With Polymarket acquiring DomeAPI to bring their infrastructure in-house, a lot of us who run cross-platform arb bots or track volume across prediction markets are suddenly looking for a new unified API. You definitely don't want to get locked into a single exchange's ecosystem right now.
If you need to pull data and execute trades across Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, etc., here is a breakdown of the open-source alternatives available:
[pmxt](https://github.com/pmxt-dev/pmxt): The direct equivalent of ccxt, but built specifically for prediction markets.
[predmarket](https://github.com/ashercn97/predmarket): An `asyncio`\-native Python library that unifies Kalshi and Polymarket. It's good, but unmaintained.
[dr-manhattan](https://drmanhattan.xyz/): A CCXT-style unified API that has ports in Python, TypeScript, and Rust. The catch: It is incredibly verbose and suffers from an identity crisis. It bills itself as an API wrapper, but it forces you to inherit its base strategy classes and internal logic loops to execute trades.
Note: I am the maintainer of pmxt. We're releasing historical orderbook data soon, aligning us even closer to what dome was.
