A Gabbatron product · ran June to September 2026

The prediction-market archiver.

A collector that recorded every Polymarket order-book frame across about 300,000 subscriptions for four months, byte for byte, with a record of every interval it did and did not receive. The fleet was shut down in September 2026; the software is complete, tested and idle.

Case study

The prediction-market archiver.

How the venue's WebSocket works, how the collector was built, the mathematics that placed markets across two boxes so a dropped socket on one was almost never a dropped socket on the other, and the numbers it produced.

Research

Why we did not release the archive.

Nine paid vendors and one free archive, audited against API specs, SDK source, live probes and on-chain reads, with the evidence class marked on every claim, plus what it cost us to store the data. August 2026.

Guide

How Polymarket's order-book hash works.

What the hash covers, how a book is serialised before hashing, a worked example you can reproduce, and the rules we learned from months of mismatches: streak thresholds, the last-trade-price lag, tick-size changes, and why resyncing on every mismatch melts down.

Availability

The archiver is not open source.

It is available as:

  • Operated capture. We run the collector against the venues you name, writing into a bucket you own, with the completeness markers and manifests described in the case study.
  • Replay server. A Polymarket-native WebSocket replay of captured frames, so one parser serves backtest and live.
  • Source licence. For teams who want to run it themselves.

Pricing on enquiry. Write to archiver@gabbatron.com.au.
