Kalshi's API vs a normalized feed

Kalshi's API documentation and getting-started guide cover market data, order placement and a demo environment, for Kalshi only. They're the right tools for trading on Kalshi; they aren't built for comparing Kalshi to the rest of the market.

Use Kalshi's API to trade. Use Betstamp to know where to trade.

Built for market makers and trading bots

Know where Kalshi sits against the market.

Kalshi's prices mean more next to everyone else's. Betstamp puts them there.

Fair value per market

Where to quote, from sharp-book consensus: Betstamp's True Line, a no-vig price, sits next to every Kalshi price. If you're running a Kalshi bot, this is the line to compare against.

One call. Every venue.

The /api/markets endpoint takes a book_ids parameter — comma-separate Kalshi alongside Polymarket, ProphetX, Novig, bet365, FanDuel and any other book in your subscription. One call returns all of them in one normalized schema.

Matched events, not just prices

Kalshi markets are already matched to the sportsbook event and market, so you're comparing like with like.

Historical analysis

Every Kalshi record arrives in one stable schema, so you can store it from the day you subscribe and build your own historical Kalshi data for backtesting. In the PRO Odds Screen, see how each Kalshi price has moved on every market.

Same Kalshi data, screen or API

Pull Kalshi into the PRO Odds Screen, the Betstamp API, or both — same pricing, same refresh rate, same normalized schema. Pick the delivery that fits your stack, switch later if it changes.

SLA and support

99.99% uptime SLA on the Kalshi feed. Slack channel with our trading desk. Schema changes upstream don't break your pipeline — we handle the maintenance.

How Kalshi prices convert to odds

A contract at 62¢ implies a 62% probability. Decimal odds = 1 / 0.62 = 1.61. American odds = −(62 / 38) × 100 = −163. Before comparing with a sportsbook, strip the book's vig so both sides are fair probabilities — that's what Betstamp's True Line does for every market. Try it with the no-vig fair odds calculator.

FAQ

Kalshi API questions.

Does Kalshi have a public API?

Can I get historical Kalshi data?
