Neg-Risk Events

Parent neg-risk events on Polymarket (multi-outcome winner markets like PGA tournaments, elections, NBA MVP). Each event collects N child markets under one title.

Polymarket’s negative-risk markets group a large set of competing outcomes (e.g. “who wins this PGA tournament?” with 147 golfers) under a single event. Each candidate is its own child market with its own condition_id. This endpoint lists the parents — one row per event — with the full candidate list and the set of child condition_ids so you can drill down.

Backed by v2.neg_risk_event. Sorted by question_count DESC (biggest fields first).

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
count	integer	Number of events in this page.
source	string	Always "onchain-v2".
pagination.limit / offset / has_more		Standard offset-based pagination.
events[].id	string	32-byte parent ID — this is the neg_risk_market_id. Use it with /clobv2/neg-risk/events/{parent_id}/children to enumerate individual child markets.
events[].event_title	string	Human-readable event name (e.g. "PGA TOUR Wyndham Championship – Winner").
events[].event_slug	string	URL slug of the event.
events[].question_count	integer	Number of outcomes in the event — matches child_market_count for well-formed events.
events[].child_market_count	integer	Number of child markets included. Each child market is a "Will {outcome} win?" binary.
events[].outcomes	array of strings	Candidate names in outcome-index order. For PGA this is players, for elections this is candidates, etc.
events[].child_condition_ids	array of strings	32-byte condition_ids — one per child market, same order as outcomes. Use these to pull fills/positions for a specific outcome.
events[].image	string | null	CDN URL of the event image.
events[].end_date	string | null	ISO-8601 UTC resolution date.

Rate-limit headers

402	{"error": "paid plan required ..."}	Free tier.

5xx	{"error": "temporary_data_provider_error"}	Temporary data provider issue. Retry with backoff.

Notes

• outcomes and child_condition_ids are parallel arrays — the Nth outcome corresponds to the Nth condition_id.
• question_count can differ slightly from child_market_count if the metadata layer hasn’t picked up every child yet. The two are equal for every well-formed event.
• Events where the metadata layer hasn’t identified a title yet are filtered out of this response (so events[].event_title is always non-null here).
• Sorted newest by question_count DESC — biggest fields first (PGA, elections, NBA MVP, etc.).
• To pull all fills on a single candidate, grab that candidate’s child_condition_ids[i] and pass it to /clobv2/trades?condition_id=....
