Bug Report

The CLI's markets list command is not returning a market that exists and is actively trading on the Polymarket website.

Market Details

CLI Version

polymarket 0.1.4

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Visit the market on the website - it exists and shows $17.9M volume

  2. Run CLI search for crude oil markets:

    polymarket markets list --limit 1000 -o json | jq -r '.[] | select(.slug | contains(\"crude-oil\")) | \"\(.slug)"'
  3. Result: No markets found

  4. Also tried searching by description/question content:

    polymarket markets list --limit 1000 -o json | jq -r '.[] | select(.question | ascii_downcase | test(\"oil price|crude|petroleum|wti|brent\"; \"i\")) | \"\(.slug)"'
  5. Result: No markets found

Expected Behavior

The CLI should return the crude oil market that:

  • Has been live for 4+ days (since March 6, 2026)
  • Has significant trading volume ($17.9M)
  • Is visible on the Polymarket website

Actual Behavior

The CLI does not return this market in any search results, suggesting:

  • CLI may be using cached/stale data
  • CLI API endpoint differs from website data source
  • Sync issues between CLI and website APIs

Additional Context

This appears to be a data synchronization issue where newly created markets are not being indexed by the CLI, even after several days of active trading.
