# Get Market

> Retrieve market details and orderbook data.

## Get Market Details

```python
response = builder.get_market(123)

market = response.result.data
print(market.topic_id)        # Market ID
print(market.condition_id)    # Condition ID (needed for split/merge/redeem)
print(market.quote_token)     # Quote token address
print(market.status)          # Market status
print(market.chain_id)        # Chain ID
```

### Parameters

| Parameter   | Type | Required | Description                                                               |
| ----------- | ---- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `market_id` | int  | Yes      | Market ID (positive integer)                                              |
| `use_cache` | bool | No       | Use cached result (default: `True`). Pass `False` to force a fresh fetch. |

### Response

The response object has `response.result.data` containing the market object. Key properties include `topic_id`, `condition_id`, `quote_token`, `status`, and `chain_id`.

## Get Orderbook

```python
response = builder.get_orderbook("outcome_token_id_here")
```

### Parameters

| Parameter  | Type | Required | Description      |
| ---------- | ---- | -------- | ---------------- |
| `token_id` | str  | Yes      | Outcome token ID |

## Notes

* Market results are cached for 5 minutes by default. Use `use_cache=False` to bypass.
* The `condition_id` from market data is required for `build_split_tx()`, `build_merge_tx()`, and `build_redeem_tx()`.
* Orderbook data is not cached.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.opinion.trade/developer-guide/opinion-clob-python-sdk/builder-mode/get-market.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
