# Recent markets

> Latest market listings without a search query.

The most recently discovered markets across both venues — useful for new-listing alerts when you don't have a search query yet. For watermarked polling within a known series, use [Search markets](/search/search-markets) with `discovered_after` instead.

## Parameters

<ParamField query="exchange" type="string">
  `kalshi` or `polymarket`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="limit" type="integer" default="30">
  1-100.
</ParamField>

## Example

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -H "X-API-Key: your_api_key" \
    "https://api.oddpool.com/search/recent/markets?limit=10"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  response = requests.get(
      "https://api.oddpool.com/search/recent/markets",
      headers={"X-API-Key": "your_api_key"},
      params={"limit": 10}
  )
  markets = response.json()
  ```
</CodeGroup>
