PolymarketBTCMonitor

A straightforward monitoring bot for Polymarket's popular 5-minute BTC up/down markets. Unlike more ambitious trading bots, this tool focuses on alerting rather than executing trades. It monitors the CLOB order book for significant price movements, unusual spread widening, and potential arbitrage between YES/NO pairs across different timeframes. When thresholds are breached, it sends alerts via Telegram bot with embedded market context. The 502KB codebase is Python-based, using the Polymarket CLOB API for real-time data and python-telegram-bot for messaging. Configuration is through a simple YAML file specifying BTC price channels, spread thresholds, and Telegram credentials. Created March 31, 2026, the repo shows recent updates. Code quality is functional with async event loops and error handling for API disconnections. No malware signals detected—the only external dependency is the Telegram API. This is ideal for traders who want to stay informed of Polymarket BTC market movements without running a full auto-trading bot. It's also a good reference implementation for building Telegram-integrated monitoring tools. Recommend cloning for the clean alerting architecture.
