Fetch one whale trade by ID. Use either the raw `whale_alerts.id` or the `wt_...` ID returned by whale-trade list and history responses. ```bash theme={null} curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OXINSIDER_API_KEY" \ "https://api.0xinsider.com/api/v1/whale-trades/wt_123" ``` The response is a single `whale_trade` envelope with the same item shape as [Get Whale Trades](/api-reference/endpoint/get-whale-trades). ## OpenAPI ````yaml GET /api/v1/whale-trades/{id} openapi: 3.1.0 info: x-generated-rate-limit-policy-from: web/src/lib/rate-limit-facts.ts via web/scripts/generate-api-policy.ts title: 0xinsider API description: >- Follow provider-exposed large-trade activity from Polymarket and Kalshi. Polymarket wallet-attributed trades can add grades, P&L, strategy, and diagnostic-score context when sufficient source data exists; Kalshi public prints remain anonymous, and fields can be null or unavailable. Normal API requests use a 30-second server timeout that returns HTTP 408 Request Timeout with an empty body when exceeded. Public REST /api/v1/* endpoints, excluding /api/v1/mcp, use Bearer-token based non-credentialed browser CORS: any Origin may call with Authorization, Content-Type, If-None-Match, Idempotency-Key, and Mcp-Session-Id request headers. Remote MCP at /api/v1/mcp is non-credentialed, but still validates Origin against the 0xinsider/localhost allowlist per MCP Streamable HTTP DNS-rebinding guidance. Successful browser CORS preflight responses advertise Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400. Browser JavaScript may read X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, Retry-After, ETag, X-Request-Id, X-Request-Cost, X-Batch-RateLimit-Limit, X-Batch-RateLimit-Remaining, X-Batch-RateLimit-Reset, Mcp-Session-Id, and X-Mcp-Error-Code response headers. Credentialed first-party routes such as /api/keys, /api/billing, and auth endpoints remain restricted to configured 0xinsider origins. version: 1.0.0 contact: name: 0xinsider email: support@0xinsider.com url: https://0xinsider.com servers: - url: https://api.0xinsider.com description: >- Production (live data).

Only present on endpoints that compute one (today: GET /api/v1/sports-edge-signals). "live" means the read RAN. "degraded" means it FAILED, so nothing was measured and the ranking fell back to raw conviction. The flag describes the READ, not its consequence: a read that ran and found nothing groupable also leaves the directional fields null, and that is honestly "live" -- the per-signal nulls already say "nothing to enrich here", so this snapshot-level flag carries only what they cannot, namely whether the read ran at all. A degraded response is cached on the shorter degraded TTL so it self-heals. Reported SEPARATELY from ranking_source because the two degradations are independent -- a smart-money DB miss weakens the ranking DATA, a directional failure removes a ranking WEIGHT -- and a consumer down-weighting a degraded response needs to know which input it lost. Omitted on endpoints that compute no directional read. ranking_source: type: string enum: - live - db_only description: >- Which ranking-data path produced this response. Only present on endpoints that can degrade a ranking (today: GET /api/v1/sports-edge-signals). "live" is the normal path (the current holder pile from the provider batch); "db_only" is the degraded fallback (a truthful but weaker trader_markets ranking) served when the live sharp-money ranking batch is unavailable (a smart-money DB read failure, not a Polymarket outage) and cached on a shorter TTL, so a consumer can down-weight or skip it. Omitted on endpoints that never degrade. category_skill_source: type: string enum: - live - partial - degraded - unavailable description: >- Whole filtered snapshot category-evidence status before pagination.

For pick_not_released: before the 11:00 UTC operating-window start, before a selected pick's stored release, or after a skipped day, it names the automatic system's next boundary. While no candidate exists in the live window it normally names the persisted next automatic selector attempt (~15m). Every value is advisory under supported operator actions: manual publication, release-time override, or admin generation can make a pick available first. When the automatic schedule is absent/due or a pick is overdue it degrades to ~60s. Schedule one request and do not poll. Prefer Retry-After for the duration because it is immune to client clock skew. reason: type: string enum: - cursor_expired - unknown_endpoint - pick_not_released - trader_not_tracked - read_model_warming - idempotency_in_progress - webhook_delivery_in_progress nullable: true description: >- ADDITIVE (#7209). The specific, actionable cause behind `code`, when there is one more specific than the code itself. `code` keeps its published values, so existing clients are unaffected; new clients branch on `reason`. Omitted when the code already says everything we know. pick_not_released: no Pick of the Day is published for the current product day; schedule one request against retry_at instead of polling. unknown_endpoint: the PATH is not a route on this API -- read GET /api/v1, do not retry. trader_not_tracked: the wallet is real and the URL is right, but the trader is outside the HOT/WARM sync tiers -- stop asking for this wallet. cursor_expired: pagination went stale mid-walk -- re-request the first page and continue. read_model_warming: the requested endpoint cannot serve its read model yet; exact causes are endpoint-specific and can include a cold or contended refresh or a dependency that prevented refresh. idempotency_in_progress: retain the exact Idempotency-Key and request body, then retry shortly. webhook_delivery_in_progress: retry the URL or signing-secret configuration change after the destination's active request completes. meta: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ResponseMeta' headers: X-RateLimit-Limit: description: Authenticated V1 per-user request limit for the current sliding window. schema: type: integer example: 100 X-RateLimit-Remaining: description: >- Authenticated V1 requests remaining in the current sliding window after this response. schema: type: integer example: 84 X-RateLimit-Reset: description: Unix timestamp when the authenticated V1 request window resets. schema: type: integer example: 1710772860 X-Request-Id: description: Server-generated request identifier for support and tracing. schema: type: string example: req_550e8400 ETag: description: >- Weak semantic validator for conditional GET.

(1) 100 requests/minute per user (sliding window), on every authenticated route. (2) On the BATCH routes only: 2500 batch item units/minute per user, reserved before any item is executed. A batch with N requested items costs N item units, including duplicate and invalid items. 2500 = 100 requests x 25 items per batch, which is the most item work a key can buy through the request limiter at all: a caller may spend their entire 100-request minute on full 25-item batches without the item budget being what stops them. The REQUEST budget is the effective ceiling, and batching is never the more expensive choice. The item budget can still deny at a sliding-window boundary (both counters carry the previous window forward with a floor, and the item counter runs 25x the request counter), so honor a 429 from either. Over-quota batches return 429 with Retry-After before any item work is done. headers: Retry-After: description: Seconds until rate limit resets. schema: type: integer X-RateLimit-Limit: schema: type: integer X-RateLimit-Remaining: schema: type: integer X-RateLimit-Reset: schema: type: integer X-Request-Id: schema: type: string content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' RateLimitUnavailable: description: >- Redis-backed authenticated rate limiter unavailable; retry after the per-process outage cooldown headers: Retry-After: description: >- Seconds until the middleware will probe the Redis-backed rate limiter again. schema: type: integer X-Request-Id: schema: type: string content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/ApiError' securitySchemes: bearerAuth: type: http scheme: bearer description: >- API key authentication.
