--- title: "Get the Pick of the Day track record" method: GET path: "/api/v1/pick-of-the-day/archive" tags: ["Pick of the Day"] --- # Get the Pick of the Day track record `GET /api/v1/pick-of-the-day/archive` Returns every published pick with its outcome, unit score, closing-line value, and the rolling hit rate. Resolved picks are public. A pending pick's backed side appears only for an authenticated Pro key. Each row carries a CLV value or the reason it was not measured. Coverage divides measured rows by resolved rows published before kickoff. A post-kickoff publication is `not_applicable`. ## Headers - `X-Query-Validation` 'strict' - `If-None-Match` string ## Response `200` Pick of the Day track record - object - `object` 'pick_of_the_day_archive', required - `data` PickOfTheDayArchive, required - `picks` PickOfTheDayArchiveEntry[], required — Every published Pick of the Day, newest first by pick_date and then pick_rank within each product day. - `pick_date` string, date, required — The pick's local publication date (YYYY-MM-DD). - `pick_rank` integer — Stable 1-based slot within the product day's ranked picks. - `matchup` string, required — Human-readable matchup (e.g. "Portugal vs. Uzbekistan"). - `category` string, required — Frozen canonical calibration/report bucket (e.g. "Basketball", "MMA", or "Soccer"). Existing semantics are unchanged; presentation consumers should prefer display_category when present. - `display_category` string — Frozen public presentation category. For supported Polymarket sports this is the exact verified provider event identity: an official league (e.g. "WNBA" or "UFC"), the esports title (e.g. "CS2", "LoL", "Dota 2" or "Valorant"), or a soccer competition whose official mark we vendor (e.g. "LaLiga", "Premier League", "Serie A" or "UEFA Champions League"). Only identities with a vendored official mark are split out; every other competition keeps its canonical bucket, so "Soccer" remains a live value; otherwise it equals category. An esports pick keeps the pooled "Esports" bucket in category, so a per-title label never implies a per-title measured cohort. Additive and optional for mixed-version client compatibility. - `image_url` string — Provider (Polymarket Gamma) market thumbnail URL (markets.image); omitted (not null) when the market has no image. Public regardless of the backed-side gate, so present for pending rows too. - `pick_outcome_label` string — The backed side's outcome label. Omitted for a still-pending pick when the request is not from an authenticated Pro key. - `top_grade` string — Best public V1-compatible S/A sharp-money grade on the backed side; a current B-only grade is omitted by the stable V1 adapter, while historical rows retain their frozen policy's grade. Omitted when no sharp-money wallet backs the pick, when a pending legacy proof has not yet upgraded, or when the stored holder policy is unknown-future or structurally invalid. Resolved legacy history remains supported. - `outcome` 'pending' | 'win' | 'loss' | 'void', required — Settlement outcome of the backed side; 'pending' until the market resolves. - `outcome_display` string — Pre-formatted settlement status for display: "Win" / "Loss" / "Void" / "Pending" -- the outcome enum above as a label, from the same formatter the pick payload's outcome_display uses. Convenience only; outcome is the source value. - `stake_usd` number — The flat stake this row was valued at, in USD: 1000 since 2026-09-22 (100 before). Every row of the record is valued at the current stake, including picks published before the change. Present exactly when return_usd is. - `return_usd` number — Gross return of stake_usd on this resolved pick: a win returns stake_usd / backed_price, a loss returns 0, a void refunds stake_usd. A loss always returns 0 (the whole stake is lost regardless of price). The operand is published beside it as backed_price on exactly the same rows, so the entry never has to be recovered by inverting this number. Omitted (not null) only for a still-pending pick or a resolved WIN with no frozen price (a win's payout needs the price); mirrors the backend skip-when-absent behavior and the route-client optional (non-nullable) schema. - `return_per_100` number — The same return on a literal $100 (a win returns 100 / backed_price, a loss 0, a void 100), kept for compatibility: the field predates stake_usd and its name promises the $100 basis. Present exactly when return_usd is. - `payout_display` string — Pre-formatted return_usd as USD with cents: "$2,000.00". Present exactly when return_usd is -- it is formatted from that already-gated value -- so it is omitted for a still-pending pick, an unpriced win, and any pick whose backed side is withheld. Convenience only; return_usd is the source value. - `backed_price` number — Frozen price of the backed side (0..1) that return_usd and return_per_100 were computed from: on a win, stake_usd / backed_price equals return_usd. It is the Polymarket CLOB order book midpoint at release, frozen write-once at publication, not an executed fill: a buyer lifts the ask, so a subscriber's own entry is usually a little worse than this price. Present exactly when return_usd is, so it is omitted for a still-pending pick, an unpriced win, and any pick whose backed side is withheld. - `clv_pct` number — Closing-line value toward the backed side, computed as (close / entry - 1) * 100. Omitted when the row is gated, ineligible, or not measured. - `clv_display` string — Backend-formatted signed CLV percentage, present exactly when clv_pct is present. - `clv_entry_price` number — Entry operand of clv_pct: the frozen pick probability the close is compared against. It equals backed_price, which CLV eligibility requires. Present exactly when clv_pct is. - `clv_close_price` number — Close operand of clv_pct: the last valid Polymarket probability before the close bound (kickoff, or the first instant the live feed reported the game in progress when that came earlier). Present exactly when clv_pct is; the close timestamp stays private. - `clv_applicability` 'applicable' | 'not_applicable' — Whether CLV applies. A visible resolved pick published after kickoff is not_applicable. - `clv_explanation` string — Backend-owned CLV text. A measured row names the entry, then the close, then the formula (close / entry - 1) x 100 and its rounded result; otherwise it gives the reason CLV does not apply or is unavailable. - `clv_status` string — Exact backend CLV capture disposition for this visible row. Pending and terminal provider or quality statuses are distinguishable; capture timestamps are never serialized, while a measured row's entry and close prices are published as clv_entry_price and clv_close_price. - `clv_basis` string — Backend-owned CLV evidence basis. Source-null price-match bases preserve unknown original provenance. `historical_provider_nearby_price_match` requires a matching Polymarket point within five minutes before publication. - `unit_score` number — Net return for this pick in stake units (return_usd / stake_usd - 1), where one unit is one stake_usd stake; the same figure under any stake size. Omitted when the backed side is withheld or the pick is not valued. - `unit_score_display` string — Backend-formatted signed unit score, present exactly when unit_score is present. - `days` PickOfTheDayArchiveDay[], required — One entry per product day that has a published pick, newest first, in the same order as picks. Each carries that day's net units, accumulated in the same backend pass and behind the same visibility gate as hit_rate.unit_score, so both cover the same population of picks. Re-adding the day totals reproduces hit_rate.unit_score to display precision rather than bit-for-bit, since that re-associates the floating-point sum. - `date` string, date, required — The product day (YYYY-MM-DD). - `picks` integer, required — Published picks on the day: wins + losses + void + pending. - `wins` integer, required — Picks on the day that resolved as a win, counted by the same pass as hit_rate.wins, so the day entries sum to the headline record. - `losses` integer, required — Picks on the day that resolved as a loss, counted by the same pass as hit_rate.losses. - `void` integer, required — Picks on the day that resolved void (stake refunded). - `pending` integer, required — Picks on the day not yet resolved. A day whose picks are all pending is a real 0-0 day with pending > 0, not a missing record. - `unit_score` number, double — Net units over the day's visible, valued, decided (win/loss) picks: the same population staked_usd runs over. Omitted when the day has not scored -- every pick still pending, every pick void, or a price-gated current row -- which is not the same as a real 0.0 day. - `unit_score_display` string — unit_score pre-formatted as signed units to two decimals (for example +1.24u or -2.00u), by the same formatter the per-pick unit_score_display and hit_rate.unit_score_display use. Present exactly when unit_score is; unit_score is the source value. - `sweep` 'win' | 'loss' — win when every decided pick on the day won, loss when every one lost, over at least three decided (win or loss) picks with nothing pending. Omitted for every other day. A void is not a result: it neither lifts a day over the floor nor spoils a sweep. - `hit_rate` PickOfTheDayHitRate, required - `wins` integer, required — Number of decided picks that won. - `losses` integer, required — Number of decided picks that lost. - `decided` integer, required — Number of decided picks (wins + losses); excludes void and pending. - `pct` number, required — Rolling hit rate as a percentage (wins / decided * 100, to 1 decimal); 0 when none are decided. - `void` integer, required — Number of picks that resolved void (excluded from the hit rate). - `pending` integer, required — Number of picks still pending resolution (excluded from the hit rate). - `stake_usd` number — The flat stake every money figure here assumes, in USD: 1000 since 2026-09-22 (100 before). Always present. - `net_profit_usd` number, required — Cumulative profit (USD) of a stake_usd-per-pick strategy over visible valued decided picks: a priced win pays stake_usd/backed_price - stake_usd, every visible loss pays -stake_usd independent of price, and a void pays 0. An unpriced visible win and a current non-Insider row whose price is gated remain in wins/losses but are excluded from price-derived totals. - `staked_usd` number, required — Total staked (USD) = stake_usd * count of visible valued decided picks: every visible loss plus every priced win. Void, unpriced wins, and current non-Insider rows whose price is gated are excluded. - `roi_pct` number, required — Return on the staked amount as a percentage (net_profit_usd / staked_usd * 100, to 1 decimal); 0 when nothing is staked. - `net_profit_display` string, required — Pre-formatted net profit for display, e.g. "+$100" / "-$40". Whole dollars, signed, round-then-signed so a rounds-to-zero record reads "+$0" (never "-$0"). Convenience only; net_profit_usd is the source value. - `roi_display` string, required — Pre-formatted ROI for display, e.g. "+8.3%" / "-20.0%". One decimal, signed, round-then-signed so a rounds-to-zero record reads "+0.0%" (never "-0.0%"). Convenience only; roi_pct is the source value. - `win_rate_display` string, required — Pre-formatted win rate for display, e.g. "92.3%". One decimal, unsigned. Convenience only; pct is the source value. - `unit_score` number — Cumulative net return in stake units over the same valued win/loss population as net_profit_usd. - `unit_score_display` string — Backend-formatted signed cumulative unit score, for example "+1.25u". Omitted when no valued settled pick contributes to the aggregate. - `clv_pending` integer, required — Visible resolved archive rows with no CLV capture disposition yet. - `clv_unavailable` integer, required — Visible resolved archive rows with a terminal non-measured CLV disposition. - `clv_state` 'measured' | 'pending' | 'unavailable' | 'not_applicable' | 'none', required — Aggregate CLV state. Counts remain available for mixed measured/pending/unavailable populations. - `clv_eligible` integer, required — Visible resolved archive rows with valid basis-specific CLV entry evidence. Known-source bases require CLOB provenance; historical_provider_price_match instead requires source provenance to remain null and the latest provider p entry in the one-hour window at or before publication to match the stored display. - `clv_total` integer, required — Every visible resolved archive row, including post-kickoff picks. A price-gated current row is excluded until its backed side becomes visible. - `clv_measured` integer, required — Eligible resolved public rows with a measured Polymarket CLOB close. - `clv_applicable` integer, required — Visible resolved rows published before kickoff. This is the CLV coverage denominator. - `clv_not_applicable` integer, required — Visible resolved rows published after kickoff. These rows remain public but do not enter coverage. - `clv_coverage_pct` number — Measured divided by clv_applicable as a percentage. Omitted when clv_applicable is zero. - `clv_coverage_display` string — Backend-formatted measured/clv_applicable coverage percentage. - `clv_coverage_explanation` string — Backend-owned coverage count text, including the excluded post-kickoff count. - `clv_avg_pct` number — Arithmetic mean of per-pick ratio CLV, (close / entry - 1) * 100. A cheap entry weighs more here than a favorite, so the headline average is clv_avg_pp; this field is kept for continuity. Suppressed until at least five measured rows exist. - `clv_avg_display` string — Backend-formatted signed average CLV percentage, present when clv_avg_pct is present. - `clv_avg_pp` number — Arithmetic mean of the measured closing-line move in percentage points, (close - entry) * 100, so every pick counts on the same scale. The headline CLV average. Covers the same measured rows as clv_avg_pct and is suppressed under the same five-row floor. - `clv_avg_pp_display` string — Backend-formatted signed average in percentage points, for example "+0.4 pp"; a value that rounds to zero reads "0.0 pp". Present when clv_avg_pp is present. - `clv_beats_close` integer, required — Measured public rows where close is strictly greater than entry. - `clv_ties` integer, required — Measured public rows where close exactly equals entry. - `series` object[] — Cumulative track-record series, one point per decided (win/loss) pick in ascending pick_date order (void and pending add no point). A non-valued decided row carries cumulative profit forward while advancing hit rate. The last point's net_profit_usd and hit_rate_pct equal the headline net_profit_usd and pct by construction. Empty when nothing is decided. - `date` string, date, required — The decided pick's publish date (YYYY-MM-DD). - `net_profit_usd` number, required — Running cumulative stake_usd-per-pick profit (USD) through this pick; valued losses and priced wins are booked, while a non-valued decided row carries profit forward unchanged. - `hit_rate_pct` number, required — Running rolling hit rate (wins / decided * 100, to 1 decimal) through this pick. - `meta` ResponseMeta, required - `request_id` string, required — Unique request ID (req_ prefix). The same value as the X-Request-Id response header, the request's usage accounting row and its log lines. - `cached` boolean, required - `cache_age_s` integer — Cache age in seconds. Omitted when the response was not cached, and also when it was cached but its age cannot be established (an entry stored before its cache carried a computed instant). Never a placeholder: an unknown age is reported as no value rather than as the cache TTL. - `cost` integer, required — Advisory request weight (relative compute cost). 1 for simple reads; higher for heavier endpoints. Not a credit/price. - `ranking_generation` integer — Committed PostgreSQL-owned leaderboard generation for the returned rows and cursor. Present on GET /api/v1/leaderboard; omitted on endpoints that do not read this ranking. - `ranking_as_of` string, date-time — Authoritative RFC3339 timestamp from cache_generations.updated_at for ranking_generation. It is read in the same repeatable-read snapshot as the leaderboard rows and is not request time, cache write time, or row insertion order. - `directional_source` 'live' | 'degraded' — Which path produced the team-directional read on this response. 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 sharp-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` 'live' | 'db_only' — 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 sharp-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` 'live' | 'partial' | 'degraded' | 'unavailable' — Whole filtered snapshot category-evidence status before pagination. Operational live always remains partial source coverage. - `category_skill_model_version` string - `category_skill_taxonomy_version` string - `category_skill_platform` 'polymarket' - `category_skill_scope` 'observed_goldsky_primary_taker_fill' - `category_skill_source_coverage` 'partial_whale_threshold_fills' | 'graded_wallet_fills' - `category_skill_observation_started_at` string, date-time - `category_skill_model_operationally_degraded` boolean — Whole-model operational readiness captured with the category model snapshot. Present on category-enriched responses even when the filtered signal list is empty. When true, category_skill_source is degraded and sports-edge-signals uses the shorter degraded cache TTL. - `category_skill_status_counts` object - `live` integer, required - `insufficient` integer, required - `stale` integer, required - `unknown` integer, required - `degraded` integer, required - `category_skill_base_payload_hash` string — SHA-256 of the funded signal membership/order/rank/cursor vector immediately before category-skill enrichment. Sports-edge-signals only. - `category_skill_enriched_base_payload_hash` string — Independent SHA-256 recomputation over the same base fields immediately after category-skill enrichment. Equality with category_skill_base_payload_hash proves shadow enrichment did not change funded inputs. Sports-edge-signals only. ## Other responses - `304` — Not Modified. Returned when If-None-Match matches the current Pick of the Day archive payload. - `401` — Missing or invalid API key - `402` — Active Pro subscription required. The key is valid but the account has no active Pro subscription; error.reason is subscription_inactive and error.message names the reactivation URL (https://0xinsider.com/billing). Permanent until a person reactivates: no Retry-After, never retry on a schedule. - `403` — Account access denied - `408` — The handler did not answer inside the server's 30-second timeout. error.code is request_timeout. On GET and HEAD the response carries Retry-After and error.retry_at; on a mutation it carries neither, because the request may have completed on the server: check its state before repeating it, and reuse its Idempotency-Key. - `423` — Account is locked - `429` — Rate limit exceeded. Three independent budgets. (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 plus RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset before any item work is done. (3) The monthly quota: Pro includes 250,000 authenticated requests per UTC calendar month, whatever the billing cadence. Over 250,000: with pay as you go on, requests keep answering and the excess bills at USD 0.20 per 1,000 on a monthly invoice, up to 1,000,000 requests a month; without it, from October 1, 2026, the next request answers 429 rate_limited with error.reason monthly_quota_exceeded and a Retry-After to the month's reset, and from the same day a pay-as-you-go account answers the same past 1,000,000. A refused request is not counted. Every authenticated response carries X-Monthly-Quota-Limit, X-Monthly-Quota-Remaining, and X-Monthly-Quota-Reset (unix seconds, the first of next month). (4) The per-address budget: 1200 requests/minute per IP, shared by every caller behind one address and counted before authentication, on every route. A 429 from it carries error.reason ip_rate_limited and describes that bucket in RateLimit-*; a throttled address (sustained over-limit traffic) carries error.reason ip_throttled with a Retry-After of minutes to days, and a request before it does not shorten the cooldown. Every 429 is the standard error envelope with meta.request_id equal to X-Request-Id. - `503` — Redis-backed authenticated rate limiter unavailable; retry after the per-process outage cooldown ## Changes - **2026-09-23** `ece7a25b7a44` — 7 warning, 7 info - added the new `freshness_ceiling_unsatisfied` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `401` - added the new `freshness_ceiling_unsatisfied` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `402` - added the new `freshness_ceiling_unsatisfied` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `403` - added the new `freshness_ceiling_unsatisfied` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `408` - …10 more - **2026-09-23** `8462acf80f8c` — 7 warning - added the new `export_expired` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `401` - added the new `export_expired` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `402` - added the new `export_expired` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `403` - added the new `export_expired` enum value to the `error/reason` response property for the response status `408` - …3 more - **2026-09-22** `19386d595e05` — 1 breaking - the response property `data/picks/items/clv_status` became optional for the status `200` - …earlier changes not shown [Full history](https://skmtc.dev/0xinsider/apis/0xinsider-api/changes/api/v1/pick-of-the-day/archive/get.md) --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/0xinsider/apis/0xinsider-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/0xinsider/apis/0xinsider-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/0xinsider/apis/0xinsider-api/revisions/2035b3316329?raw)
