Summary: Historical and real-time prediction market consensus data for academic research. API access with structured data, settlement verification, and historical archives.

Why Researchers Use Prediction Market Data

Prediction markets are studied across economics, political science, finance, and computer science. They provide a unique window into collective belief formation, information aggregation, and forecasting accuracy. Published research using prediction market data has appeared in journals including the American Economic Review, Journal of Finance, and Science.

Common research applications include:

What Meridian Edge Provides for Research

Meridian Edge differs from single-platform data exports in two key ways: it provides cross-platform consensus (not just one platform's prices) and structured settlement verification (ground truth for resolved events).

Data TypeEndpointUse Case
Consensus probabilities/api/v1/consensusCurrent market-implied probabilities
Settlement outcomes/api/v1/settlements/recentGround truth for accuracy measurement
Divergence data/api/v1/opportunitiesCross-platform spread analysis
Historical snapshotsAvailable on Pro+ plansTime-series analysis of probability evolution

Data Quality

Meridian Edge's data pipeline runs on a 14-second refresh cycle, processing 100M+ data points from regulated prediction market platforms. All data is devigged (vig-removed) and volume-weighted. Settlement verification combines automated systems with manual review against authoritative sources.

Access for Research Teams

The REST API and Python SDK provide programmatic access to all data. Academic institutions with specific data needs can contact [email protected] for research collaboration opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What prediction market data is available for research?

Meridian Edge provides cross-platform consensus probabilities, settlement outcomes with ground truth, divergence data, and historical snapshots. Data is aggregated from regulated prediction market platforms and accessible via REST API and Python SDK.

How is prediction market consensus data different from single-platform exports?

Consensus data aggregates prices from multiple independent platforms using volume weighting and vig removal. This provides a more accurate probability estimate and enables cross-platform analysis that single-source data cannot.

Is prediction market research data investment advice?

No. All data is for informational and research purposes only and does not constitute investment, financial, or trading advice. Prediction market participation involves risk of loss.
