New public helper: redeem watchdog — inspect redeemable positions without private keys.
Polymarket's pUSD-era redemption flow handles normal user redemption inside the official app. This release does not replace or work around that flow. It adds a read-only status lane for agents and dashboards: which wallet still has rows surfaced as redeemable=true by the public Data API, what their currentValue is (winning rows pay out, losing rows pay $0), and whether a strategy account is below a configured cash watermark. v0.4 adds fetchRedeemablePositionsPage, summarizeRedeemablePositions, and resolveRedeemMode for that workflow. It never signs or sends transactions.
import {
fetchRedeemablePositionsPage,
summarizeRedeemablePositions,
} from "./src/index.ts";
const positions = await fetchRedeemablePositionsPage("0x...");
console.log(summarizeRedeemablePositions(positions as never[]));Also: pm CLI (toolbox drawers) — see docs/toolbox.md.
New Skill: polymarket-pnl — Audit-grade PnL via Data API cashflow reconstruction.
Most profilers (including polymarket-profile) use position-level cashPnL which is an approximation. polymarket-pnl replays every BUY / SELL / REDEEM / MERGE / SPLIT / REBATE event and reconciles against current unrealized position value. Validated against Polymarket's official /profit endpoint on the public leaderboard: MAPE ~0.2%, all top accounts within 1% error. Use this when the number has to hold up to scrutiny.
Inspect redeemable positions for a public proxy wallet without touching keys, allowances, relayers, or transactions.
- Redeemable scan —
fetchRedeemablePositionsPage(user)calls Data API/positions?redeemable=true - Condition rollup —
summarizeRedeemablePositions(rows)groups rows byconditionIdand sumscurrentValue(losing rows contribute$0, which is the correct payable amount — not theirsize) - Policy label —
resolveRedeemMode({ lowWatermark })returns"watchdog"or"low_watermark". There is intentionally no"active"value: this toolkit never executes a redeem, so an active label belongs in your own wallet system, not here.
npx tsx examples/15-redeem-watchdog.ts 0x63ce342161250d705dc0b16df89036c8e5f9ba9a 25{
"mode": "low_watermark",
"redeemableCount": 3,
"conditionCount": 3,
"estimatedRedeemableValue": 0,
"topConditions": [
{ "conditionId": "0x...", "slug": "btc-updown-5m-1771773600", "count": 1, "estimatedCurrentValue": 0 }
]
}Three rows surfaced as
redeemable=truebut everycurrentValueis0— they are losing tokens that redeem to$0. The Data API still surfaces them after resolution; the helper reports them honestly without inflating payable value.
This toolkit only reads public APIs. It does not redeem tokens, sign Safe transactions, call relayers, move funds, or require private keys. The official Polymarket app remains the right place for normal user redemption. Treat this helper as a dashboard/agent primitive; execution stays in your own wallet system.
Turn any Polymarket address into a complete trading profile.
- PnL Overview — Total profit/loss, 7d/30d trends
- Win Rate — Accurate settlement-based calculation (not position-level approximation)

- Username → address auto-resolution works for leaderboard-ranked users only (unranked accounts need 0x address)
- Category mapping uses Gamma API tags + keyword fallback (not 100% accurate)
- Top Wins/Losses uses position-level cashPnl (approximate, not per-trade)
- Large accounts (10K+ trades) may take 30+ seconds to paginate
- lb-api 7d/30d PnL may return empty for inactive accounts

Rate any trader's prediction accuracy with Brier Score — the standard metric used by Metaculus, Good Judgment Project, and forecasting research.
| Trader Type | PnL | Brier Score | Signal Value |

| Skilled predictor | High | Good (low) | Best signal source |
| Market maker | High | Poor (high) | Earns spread, not predictions |
| SPLIT arbitrageur | High | N/A | Market-neutral, no directional view |

Audit-grade PnL for any Polymarket address via Data API cashflow reconstruction. Replays every BUY / SELL / REDEEM / MERGE / SPLIT / REBATE event and reconciles against current unrealized position value.
Position-level cashPnL (what most profilers surface) is rounded at the position level and drops partial fills, making it approximate. polymarket-pnl walks the full activity log — every trade event, every REDEEM, every MERGE — and computes PnL from the cashflow identity:
PnL = SUM(SELL + REDEEM + MERGE + REBATE) - SUM(BUY + SPLIT) + unrealized_position_value
Validated on Polymarket's own leaderboard: precise_pnl matches the official /profit endpoint within 0.2% MAPE on top traders.
You: Compute precise PnL for the top 10 leaderboard addresses.
