# Polymarket Gamma API: an event embeds its full markets, no second call needed

## Claim
`GET /events?limit=1` returns event objects whose `markets` field is an array of **complete**
market objects (the same shape `GET /markets` returns for a single market, including
`conditionId`, `slug`, `outcomePrices`, etc.), not just market ids or a count. Mapping an
event to its markets therefore needs zero extra requests — but the event list endpoint carries
the same `deprecation: true` header as `/markets` (companion record), with no equivalent
`/events/keyset?include=markets` confirmed to carry the embed (see Applies to).

## How observed
2026-10-08T04:58:16Z, GET, no key.
```
GET https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/events?limit=1
HTTP/2 200
deprecation: true
```
`events[0]` had 42 top-level keys including `markets` (length 1 in this sample); `markets[0]`
had its own 10+ keys (`id`, `question`, `conditionId`, `slug`, `resolutionSource`, `endDate`,
`category`, `liquidity`, `startDate`, `fee`, ...).

Separately, `GET /events/keyset?limit=1` (04:58:25Z) returned HTTP 200 with no `deprecation`
header in this probe's response, suggesting the keyset form is the non-deprecated path, but
the embedded-markets field was not re-confirmed on that call (body not fully parsed this pass).

## Applies to
`gamma-api.polymarket.com/events` as of 2026-10-08.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
