Important notes

  • Authentication required — pass your API key via the api_key query parameter
  • Pro plan or higher is required for WebSocket access (not available on Free)
  • Uses Kalshi market tickers (e.g. KXATPMATCH-26FEB13FRIKOR-FRI) to subscribe
  • Messages are only sent for markets you have explicitly subscribed to
  • Both RFQ and MVE trade messages are included by default if message_types is omitted
