Search Manifold markets.

GET /v1/manifold/search

What you get#

A list of Manifold results in Onekey's unified shape, in data (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free 404 not_found instead.

What it costs#

Advanced · 5 credits for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).
Free if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

Parameters#

Name	Type	Required	Default	What it is	Constraints
`q`	string	yes	(required)	Search text	max 80 chars; must match `[\w .,'&+:()-]{1,80}`; trimmed, repeated spaces collapsed
`limit`	string	no	`20`	Rows (1-100)	max 3 chars; must match `[1-9]\d?\|100`; trimmed
`sort`	string	no	`score`	Sort order	max 20 chars; must match `newest\|score\|liquidity\|24-hour-vol\|close-date\|resolve-date`; trimmed
`filter`	string	no	`open`	Status filter	max 10 chars; must match `all\|open\|closed\|resolved`; trimmed

Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

`url`	`entity.url`	`safeUrl`
`slug`	`entity.slug`	-
`outcomeType`	`entity.category`	-
`createdTime`	`entity.createdAt`	`toIsoDate`
`closeTime`	`entity.date`	`toIsoDate`
`probability`	`market.probability`	`toNumber`
`volume`	`market.volume`	`toNumber`
`volume24Hours`	`market.volume24h`	`toNumber`
`totalLiquidity`	`market.liquidity`	`toNumber`
`uniqueBettorCount`	`ext.bettors`	`toNumber`
`isResolved`	`ext.resolved`	`toBoolean`
`creatorUsername`	`author.username`	-
`creatorName`	`author.displayName`	-

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 2 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 2 minutes and 15 minutes the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 hour more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 1 minute and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	Unknown endpoint path.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.

Status: stable (verified against the live source).
