Meridian Edge + Telegram

Build a Telegram bot that sends real-time prediction market consensus alerts — divergence signals, pre-game consensus, and daily summaries.

Connect your Telegram bot to Meridian Edge to access real-time prediction market consensus from 25+ regulated sources. Get alerts on divergence, high-confidence events, and consensus shifts delivered directly to Telegram.

    events = r.json().get("events", [])
    # Only alert on high-divergence events
    alerts = [e for e in events if e.get("divergence_pct", 0) > 0.04]

    if not alerts:

    bot = Bot(token=BOT_TOKEN)
    lines = [f"📊 Divergence Alert — {sport}\n"]
    for e in alerts[:5]:
        prob = round(e['consensus_prob'] * 100)

        lines.append(f"• {e['title']}\n  {prob}% consensus | {div}% divergence")
