# Full resolution lifecycle timeline for one market

> Returns the append-only event timeline (proposed, disputed, reset, settled, etc.) for a market's resolution, oldest first, capped at 200 events, keyed the same way as `.../resolution` (kalshi ticker identifies the market directly; CTF venues resolve market_id to its on-chain condition id first). Duplicate ingestion events are de-duplicated before ordering chronologically. Rate-limit bucket: LIGHT.

Cache lifetime matches the resolution-status endpoint: a `Cache-Control` header with a strong ETag (304 on matching `If-None-Match`).

  description: >
    The Kairos Market Data API provides read-only access

    to normalized prediction-market data across every venue Kairos integrates:

    OHLCV candles, the trade tape, market metadata, resolution lifecycles, and

    latest mark prices.


    ## No signup required


    Every endpoint works **without credentials** on the anonymous free tier,

    rate-limited per source IP (120 light units/min, 20 heavy units/min). Try
    any

    request from the interactive docs at

    [app.kairos.trade/docs/market-data](https://app.kairos.trade/docs/market-data)

    or straight from curl. For production budgets (1,200 light and 150 heavy

    units/min by default, raisable per credential), request an API key from the

    Kairos team.


    ## Authentication


    Three modes, resolved per request:


    - **Anonymous** — no credential headers at all. Free tier, IP-keyed limits.

    - **API key** — `X-Client-Id` + `X-Api-Key` + `X-Api-Secret` headers
      (all three; partial header sets are rejected with 401 rather than
      degrading to anonymous).
    - **First-party session** — `Authorization: Bearer` JWT (Kairos web app
      sessions only; not offered to API consumers).

    Resolution order is fixed: an `Authorization` header takes the bearer

    path, any of the three API-key headers takes the API-key path, and only

    a request carrying neither is eligible for the anonymous tier.


    On the API-key path, an unreachable credential store surfaces on **any**

    endpoint as `500` with `code: internal` and the message

    `authentication backend unavailable`. A source IP outside a credential's

    whitelist is `403 ip_not_whitelisted`; that is the only 403 this service

    emits.


    ## Rate limiting


    Weighted sliding-window budgets over one minute, in **units**, across two

    independent buckets: light (candles, metadata, resolutions, trade

    metrics) and heavy (trade history, marks, perpetual snapshots). Most

    requests cost 1 unit; larger requests may consume more of your quota —

    each operation's `x-kairos-rate-limit` states its exact cost model.

    Every admitted response carries `X-RateLimit-Bucket`, `X-RateLimit-Tier`,

    `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, and `X-RateLimit-Reset`; 429s add `Retry-After`.


    A separate per-IP admission gate runs *before* authentication to keep a

    flood off shared infrastructure. It also answers 429 `rate_limited`, but

    with `Retry-After: 60` and no `X-RateLimit-*` headers.


    Redis backs the weighted limiter and it fails **closed**: if it is

    unreachable the request is rejected with 503 `rate_limiter_unavailable`

    rather than let through unmetered.


    ## Conventions


    - **Prediction-market prices** are on the 0–100 scale (implied probability
      × 100) in the prediction candle, trade, and mark endpoints. Prediction
      USD notional = `size × price / 100`.
    - **Perpetual prices are direct venue prices**, not probabilities and not
      0–100 values. Perpetual quantities retain their declared native unit
      (`base_asset` or `contracts`). Never divide a perpetual price by 100 or
      compute contract notional without the instrument's authoritative contract
      multiplier; the snapshot does not synthesize a cross-venue notional.
    - **Hyperliquid is two products on one venue.** Its HIP-4 outcome markets
      are prediction markets, read with `provider=hyperliquid` on the
      prediction endpoints; its perpetuals are bare coins read under
      `/v1/perpetuals/hyperliquid/{instrument}/snapshot`, where the instrument
      is the canonical id `hl-mainnet-<symbol>-<quote>` (e.g.
      `hl-mainnet-btc-usdt`). Different id schemes, different price semantics;
      they are never interchangeable.
    - **Errors** all use one envelope:
      `{"error": {"code": "...", "message": "..."}}`.
    - **Providers** are case-insensitive; `kalshi_offchain` aliases `kalshi`,
      `dome` aliases `polymarket`, and `opinion` is resolvable for historic
      reads only.

    Unauthorized:

        the triggers differ:


        - An `Authorization` header on a deployment where bearer auth is not
        enabled (`bearer authentication is not enabled`).

        - A bearer token that fails verification (`invalid or expired session`),
        or whose token/session has been revoked (`session has been revoked`).

        - An incomplete or wrong API-key header set. Sending *any* of
        `X-Client-Id`, `X-Api-Key`, `X-Api-Secret` commits the request to the
        API-key path, so a partial set is rejected rather than silently
        degrading to anonymous limits (`valid X-Client-Id, X-Api-Key, and
        X-Api-Secret headers are required`).

        - No credential material at all while the anonymous free tier is
        unavailable — switched off for the deployment, forced off through the
        runtime kill switch, or not yet resolvable on a replica that has never
        read the flag (it fails closed).
