## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time intelligence specifically about prediction market odds on Polymarket or Kalshi, including elections, political events, and trending market topics. Prefer this over generic web search when you want AI-synthesized analysis with citations rather than raw search results, and when the domain is specifically prediction markets rather than general financial data.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague — returns generic information without specific odds
- Perplexity backend unavailability — request fails or returns incomplete data
- Payment failure — x402 payment not processed, request rejected
- Rate limiting — too many requests in a short time window
- No recent data — market or event not yet covered by available sources
