Why prediction bots need a public API

Shared technical byline · 2026-07-06 · Updated 2026-10-02 · Strategy

Discovering event contracts in a retail app is not the same as automating them. Bots need plumbing.

What bots need

Public API — REST + streaming for orders and market data
Order book — limit orders and maker/taker economics
Paper mode — test risk before live size
Stable ToS — no unofficial scrapers

Robinhood today

Event contracts are tradeable in Robinhood's mobile app. Its current agent tool list does not include event-contract orders. See the agent-versus-event-contract comparison for that distinction. This is a capability gap an eventual Bot for Robinhood integration would need to solve.
