Why teams switch

Start building for free

Narwhal Free includes 5,000 successful requests each month and permits commercial apps. Use that allowance for a dashboard, scheduled data fetches or an agent integration. Move to Basic for 100,000 monthly requests as usage grows, with the same account and authentication.

Connect your app and your agent

REST and hosted MCP reach the same data through one account. Your application can fetch JSON while an agent uses the hosted tools, with every successful call counted once against the shared allowance. One quota makes the combined workload straightforward to budget.

Read both venues consistently

Narwhal gives Kalshi and Polymarket one schema for economic releases, central bank decisions, metals and energy. Events use scalar, binary, extremes and timing shapes and name their official resolution source. Economic events link to the Narwhal endpoint publishing the actual value. Odds history supports intervals from 1 minute to daily.

When they are the better pick

Oddpool suits existing users needing cross-venue analytics with Kalshi and Polymarket data: arbitrage scanning, spreads, whale tracking, search, historical order books and trades. WebSocket feeds cover order books, trades and probability distributions; historical and search APIs appear on every tier. Opinion joined its arbitrage scanner in February 2026. Oddpool joined Kalshi in September 2026; new subscriptions are closed, while existing subscriptions and free accounts continue.

Questions

Is there a free Oddpool alternative?

Yes. Narwhal Free includes 5,000 successful requests per month, commercial app use and both REST and hosted MCP access. Free odds use the previous day's close; Basic and Pro provide live odds and a WebSocket stream.

Can I still subscribe to Oddpool?

Oddpool joined Kalshi in September 2026 and closed new subscriptions. Existing subscriptions and free accounts continue. Pricing still lists Pro at $30/month and Premium at $100/month, both unavailable to new subscribers. Historical and search APIs appear on every tier; history depth is not stated.

What changes in my application?

Replace the request URL and authentication, then map the JSON response into your application's fields. The examples use standard fetch in JavaScript and requests in Python, so integration fits an ordinary HTTP client. Keep your key on the server and carry the response's units, dates and missing values into your display or calculations.

What happens at Narwhal's monthly limit?

The shared cap applies to successful REST and MCP requests together. There are no automatic overage charges. Basic includes 100,000 monthly requests; quotas reset each month even when you pay yearly.
