A reproducible way to compare Polymarket discovery, account-data and order-book API behavior.
Match endpoint purpose
Gamma serves discovery, Data serves positions and activity, and CLOB serves books and trading. Do not compare unrelated endpoints as one leaderboard.
Fixtures
Use fixed market IDs and token IDs plus a rotating active-market sample. Validate response schema and data timestamp.
Metrics
Record p50/p95/p99, errors, 429s, payload size and freshness. For books, verify bid/ask invariants and update age.
Publish responsibly
State region, time and sample size. Results are snapshots, not permanent claims about a provider or platform.
