## Installation
Add to your `Cargo.toml` :
```toml
[ dependencies ]
polyfill-rs = "0.1.0"
```
## Usage
### Basic Client Initialization (Compatible with polymarket-rs-client)
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ ClobClient , OrderArgs , Side };
use rust_decimal ::Decimal ;
let mut client = ClobClient ::with_l1_headers (
"https://clob.polymarket.com" ,
"your_private_key" ,
137 ,
);
// Get API credentials
let api_creds = client . create_or_derive_api_key ( None ). await ? ;
client . set_api_creds ( api_creds );
// Create and post order
let order_args = OrderArgs ::new (
"token_id" ,
Decimal ::from_str ( "0.75" ) ? ,
Decimal ::from_str ( "100.0" ) ? ,
Side ::BUY ,
);
let result = client . create_and_post_order ( & order_args ). await ? ;
```
### Advanced Features (Polyfill-rs specific)
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ PolyfillClient , ClientConfig };
// Advanced configuration
let config = ClientConfig {
base_url : "https://clob.polymarket.com" . to_string (),
chain_id : 137 ,
private_key : Some ( "your_private_key" . to_string ()),
max_slippage : Some ( Decimal ::from_str ( "0.001" ) ? ),
fee_rate : Some ( Decimal ::from_str ( "0.02" ) ? ),
.. Default ::default ()
};
let mut client = PolyfillClient ::with_config ( config ) ? ;
// Subscribe to real-time order book updates
client . subscribe_to_order_book ( "token_id" ). await ? ;
// Process incoming messages
while let Some ( message ) = client . get_next_message (). await ? {
println! ( "Received: {:?} " , message );
}
```
### Order Book Management
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ OrderBookManager , OrderDelta , Side };
let mut book_manager = OrderBookManager ::new ();
// Apply order book delta
let delta = OrderDelta {
token_id : "market_token" . to_string (),
timestamp : chrono ::Utc ::now (),
side : Side ::Buy ,
price : Decimal ::from_str ( "0.75" ) ? ,
size : Decimal ::from_str ( "100.0" ) ? ,
sequence : 1 ,
};
book_manager . apply_delta ( delta ) ? ;
// Retrieve order book state
let book = book_manager . get_book ( "market_token" ) ? ;
let best_bid = book . best_bid ();
let best_ask = book . best_ask ();
let spread = book . spread ();
```
### Trade Execution Simulation
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ FillEngine , MarketOrderRequest };
let mut fill_engine = FillEngine ::new (
Decimal ::from_str ( "0.001" ) ? , // max_slippage
Decimal ::from_str ( "0.02" ) ? , // fee_rate
);
let order = MarketOrderRequest {
token_id : "market_token" . to_string (),
side : Side ::Buy ,
size : Decimal ::from_str ( "50.0" ) ? ,
max_price : Some ( Decimal ::from_str ( "0.80" ) ? ),
};
let result = fill_engine . execute_market_order ( & book , order ) ? ;
println! ( "Filled: {} at avg price: {} " , result . filled_size , result . average_price );
```
### Real-time Market Data
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ StreamManager , WebSocketStream };
let mut stream_manager = StreamManager ::new ();
// Subscribe to order book updates
let stream = WebSocketStream ::new ( "wss://clob.polymarket.com/ws" ). await ? ;
stream_manager . add_stream ( "orderbook" , stream ). await ? ;
// Process incoming messages
while let Some ( message ) = stream_manager . next (). await {
match message {
Ok ( msg ) => {
// Process order book update
if let Some ( delta ) = msg . to_order_delta () {
book_manager . apply_delta ( delta ) ? ;
}
}
Err ( e ) => {
// Handle connection errors
eprintln! ( "Stream error: {} " , e );
}
}
}
```
### Demo Trading Strategy
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::{ PolyfillClient , OrderBookManager , FillEngine };
struct ArbitrageStrategy {
client : PolyfillClient ,
book_manager : OrderBookManager ,
fill_engine : FillEngine ,
min_spread : Decimal ,
position_size : Decimal ,
}
impl ArbitrageStrategy {
async fn execute_arbitrage ( & mut self , token_id : & str ) -> Result < () > {
let book = self . book_manager . get_book ( token_id ) ? ;
// Calculate arbitrage opportunity
let spread = book . spread ();
if spread < self . min_spread {
return Ok (());
}
let mid_price = book . mid_price ();
let bid_price = book . best_bid (). unwrap (). price ;
let ask_price = book . best_ask (). unwrap (). price ;
// Execute cross-spread orders
let buy_order = self . client . create_order (
token_id ,
Side ::Buy ,
self . position_size ,
Some ( bid_price ),
). await ? ;
let sell_order = self . client . create_order (
token_id ,
Side ::Sell ,
self . position_size ,
Some ( ask_price ),
). await ? ;
Ok (())
}
}
```
## Configuration
### Performance Tuning

use polyfill_rs ::Config ;
let config = Config {
// Network configuration
base_url : "https://clob.polymarket.com" . to_string (),
chain_id : 137 ,
// Authentication
private_key : Some ( "your_private_key" . to_string ()),
api_credentials : None ,
// Performance settings
connection_timeout : Duration ::from_secs ( 5 ),
request_timeout : Duration ::from_secs ( 10 ),
max_retries : 3 ,
retry_delay : Duration ::from_millis ( 100 ),
// Rate limiting
requests_per_second : 100 ,
burst_size : 10 ,
};
```
### Order Book Configuration
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::OrderBookManager ;
let book_manager = OrderBookManager ::with_config ( OrderBookConfig {
max_books : 1000 ,
cleanup_interval : Duration ::from_secs ( 300 ),
max_sequence_gap : 1000 ,
});
```
## Error Handling
The library provides comprehensive error handling with specific error types:
```rust
use polyfill_rs ::errors ::{ PolyfillError , ErrorKind };
match result {
Ok ( data ) => {
// Process successful response
}
Err ( PolyfillError ::Network { .. }) => {
// Handle network connectivity issues
}
Err ( PolyfillError ::RateLimit { retry_after , .. }) => {
// Implement exponential backoff
tokio ::time ::sleep ( retry_after ). await ;
}
Err ( PolyfillError ::Order { order_id , .. }) => {
// Handle order-specific errors
}
Err ( e ) => {
// Handle other errors
eprintln! ( "Unexpected error: {} " , e );
}
}
