The endpoint needs a CLOB token ID rather than a market ID; for historical backfills use explicit startTs and endTs instead of a relative interval.
Polymarket documents no GraphQL endpoint on Gamma, the CLOB or the Data API; GraphQL runs against its open-source subgraphs hosted on Goldsky or The Graph.
DexScreener publishes no trending route; the boost endpoints return paid promotions, which multiply a token's trending score without being the ranking itself.
DexScreener has two limits: 60 requests a minute for profile, boost and order routes, and 300 for pair and token lookups.
DexScreener has no new-pairs route: poll the profile and boost feeds, then look up pairs and filter locally on the pairCreatedAt timestamp.
Gamma serves market and event metadata, the CLOB serves order books and trading, and the Data API answers anything keyed by a wallet address.
Wallet positions live on data-api.polymarket.com, keyed by the account's user profile address, capped at 150 requests per 10 seconds per IP, no authentication needed.
