CLOB API — clob.polymarket.com

All CLOB price endpoints use token_id from the market's clobTokenIds field. Index 0 = Yes outcome, Index 1 = No outcome.

The side parameter: buy or sell.

Field Cross-Reference

To go from a Gamma market to CLOB data:

1. Get market from Gamma: has clobTokenIds and conditionId
2. Parse clobTokenIds (JSON string): ["YES_TOKEN", "NO_TOKEN"]
3. Use YES_TOKEN with /price, /book, /midpoint, /spread
4. Use conditionId with /prices-history and Data API endpoints
