Polymarket Tweet Count API — Examples

Code examples for the Polystrike API: live tweet counters for Polymarket's Elon Musk and Ted Cruz tweet-count markets.

The free tier needs no key (100 requests/hour). One call gets you three counters per active market — Polystrike's independent 60-second count, the official XTracker settlement count, and the count shown on Polymarket's UI — plus the deltas between them:

curl https://polystrike.xyz/api/v1/meta/elon

{
  "timestamp": 1783363631650,
  "data": [
    {
      "event_id": 666466,
      "event_title": "Elon Musk # tweets July 6 - July 8, 2026?",
      "polymarket_xtracker_counter": 41,
      "real_counter": 44,
      "polymarket_ui_counter": 41,
      "settlement_delta": 3,
      "display_delta": 3,
      "internal_delta": 0
    }
  ]
}

Examples

Notes on the data

The XTracker oracle is the settlement authority — Polymarket pays out on its number. Polystrike measures it faster (60s vs ~5min) but does not replace it.
Deleted tweets stay in Polystrike's count if captured before deletion; a settlement_delta driven by a deletion is not a real edge.
These are measurement tools, not a promise of profit.
