# Python Examples

## Python Examples

Use these scripts to automate common Outpoll workflows.

Each script now lives in its own subsection.

### Start here

Use [Setup & Helpers](/api/rest-api/python-examples/setup-and-helpers.md) first.

That page covers:

* Python version and package install
* authenticated REST helper
* WebSocket auth helper
* placeholder values you must replace

### Trading workflows

* [Buy a Liquid Event](/api/rest-api/python-examples/buy-a-liquid-event.md) — buy the most liquid market when the YES price hits a target
* [Set TP/SL on Open Positions](/api/rest-api/python-examples/set-tp-sl-on-open-positions.md) — apply take-profit and stop-loss orders across all open positions
* [Copy Large Trades](/api/rest-api/python-examples/copy-large-trades.md) — watch the public trade feed and mirror trades above a chosen threshold

### Monitoring

* [Cross-Platform Price Monitor](/api/rest-api/python-examples/cross-platform-price-monitor.md) — compare live best bids across Kalshi, Polymarket, and Outpoll

### Related pages

Use these references when adapting the scripts:

* [Public API Overview](/api/rest-api/public-endpoints/public-api-overview.md)
* [WebSocket API Reference](/api/rest-api/websockets/websocket-api-reference.md)
* [Orders](/api/rest-api/private-endpoints/orders.md)
* [Balances](/api/rest-api/private-endpoints/balances.md)
