Full example

Important notes

  • Authentication required via api_key query parameter
  • Use market_id (Manifold market identifier) to subscribe
  • Manifold data is sourced via REST polling (5–15s intervals), not native WebSocket
  • Messages are only sent for markets you have explicitly subscribed to
  • Trades must be explicitly requested (not included in the default subscription)
