Quickstart Guide

Get up and running with Tremor’s prediction market data terminal in just a few steps.

1. Access the Dashboard

Visit tremor.sh and sign in with your account.

Try Tremor

Launch the Tremor dashboard

2. Get Your API Key

Navigate to the Settings page and generate your API key for programmatic access.
Keep your API key secure! Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

3. Run Your First Query

Using the Web Interface

Use the SQL editor in the dashboard to run your first query:
SELECT
  title,
  yes_probability,
  volume_24hr,
  liquidity
FROM polymarket_events
WHERE active = true
ORDER BY volume_24hr DESC
LIMIT 10;
This query returns the top 10 most traded markets on Polymarket.

Using the API

Make your first API request using curl:
curl -X POST https://tremor.sh/api/query \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "SELECT title, yes_probability FROM polymarket_events LIMIT 5"
  }'
The query endpoint enforces a rate limit of 30 requests per minute per authenticated user or API key. If you receive a 429 response, pause briefly before retrying.

4. Explore the Data
