# Recent form: where this roster has been winning

`GET /api/v1/markets/hot`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://kalshispy.com`
- URL: `https://kalshispy.com/api/v1/markets/hot`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Roster form rebuilt hourly from PAST settled trades: the markets with the most realized profit (and which traders won them), each trader's current streak and last results (e.g. "WWLWW"), and per-category win rates. Use it to judge whether the roster has a record in the category a market belongs to. Requires a KalshiSpy API key.
