## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve details for a specific, known Kalshi market by its ticker symbol and want micropayment-settled access via BlockRun's routing layer with USDC on Base or Solana. Prefer this over direct Kalshi API access when you need x402-compatible payment flows or are operating within an agent framework already using BlockRun.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid market_ticker returns an error or empty result
- Kalshi API downstream unavailability causes failure
- Payment not settled in USDC causes request rejection
- Expired or delisted market ticker may return no data
