I got so tired of opening the Polymarket website that I decided: I am getting a bot! And so are you 🙂.
Introducing Polymarket trading bot, a tool for working with Polymarket directly in Telegram.
Two weeks of vibe coding and testing, plus another week fixing details: I checked it myself and with AI. At publication, I considered the functionality tested and ready to use.
The original post mentioned configurable proxy support because Polymarket restricts trading in many countries. This is a historical implementation detail, not advice to bypass restrictions; follow applicable law and platform terms.
One other person was already using the bot and, according to the original post, had even made money with it. That is an anecdote, not evidence of expected returns.
Features in the original release
- Browse events and markets by category.
- Manage orders and positions. Market, limit and split orders are supported, alongside a positions section.
- Run a strategy: a split order with a configurable stop at −10% and take-profit at 30%.
- Receive event price-change notifications.
- Send a Polymarket event or market URL: the bot opens the corresponding data so you can trade.
- Find markets suitable for running the strategy.
- Export the wallet generated by the bot and withdraw funds to a chosen address. I deliberately did not add wallet import, so people would not import their main wallet.
I like being able to work with Polymarket without repetitive manual steps and switching between interfaces.
Risks and source code
Polymarket volatility, technical bugs and configuration mistakes remain risks. Testing does not eliminate them.
The code is open, so you can change the bot to suit your needs. Installation and usage instructions are in the GitHub README.
The original precaution was to keep no more than $100 or no more than 0.1% of a portfolio in the bot, just in case. These are the author’s historical limits, not a safe-loss guarantee or an allocation recommendation.
Do you find Polymarket convenient in a browser? Do you bet on events at all? What functionality would you add?
