# Markets

Markets represent the core trading units of prediction markets. Each market corresponds to a specific event or question that users can trade on.

Through these endpoints, developers can retrieve key market information such as:

* Market tickers and titles
* Market status (active or finalized)
* Trading volume and liquidity data
* Market lifecycle timestamps (open, close, expiration)

This data can be used to discover markets, monitor trading activity, and power analytics or automation systems.
