## Response `200`

Fetch Event response

- object
  - `success` boolean
  - `error` ErrorDetail — Structured error envelope returned inside `BaseResponse.error` and `ErrorResponse.error`. Hosted-mode endpoints populate `code`, `retryable`, and optionally `exchange` / `detail`; legacy local-mode endpoints may still return only `message`.
    - `message` string — Human-readable error message.
    - `code` 'HOSTED_TRADING_ERROR' | 'INSUFFICIENT_ESCROW_BALANCE' | 'ORDER_SIZE_TOO_SMALL' | 'INVALID_API_KEY' | 'OUTCOME_NOT_FOUND' | 'CATALOG_UNAVAILABLE' | 'BUILT_ORDER_EXPIRED' | 'INVALID_SIGNATURE' | 'NO_LIQUIDITY' | 'MISSING_WALLET_ADDRESS' | 'BAD_REQUEST' | 'AUTHENTICATION_ERROR' | 'PERMISSION_DENIED' | 'NOT_FOUND' | 'ORDER_NOT_FOUND' | 'MARKET_NOT_FOUND' | 'EVENT_NOT_FOUND' | 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED' | 'INVALID_ORDER' | 'INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS' | 'VALIDATION_ERROR' | 'NETWORK_ERROR' | 'EXCHANGE_NOT_AVAILABLE' | 'NOT_SUPPORTED' — Stable machine-readable error code. Hosted-mode errors use the `HostedTradingError` family (e.g. `INSUFFICIENT_ESCROW_BALANCE`, `BUILT_ORDER_EXPIRED`); pre-hosted local errors use the legacy family (e.g. `BAD_REQUEST`, `NOT_FOUND`).
    - `retryable` boolean — Hint for clients: when `true`, the same request may succeed on retry (e.g. transient network or rate-limit conditions); when `false`, the caller should not retry without modifying the request.
    - `exchange` string, nullable — Venue the error originated from, when known (e.g. 'polymarket', 'kalshi').
    - `detail` object, nullable — Free-form hosted-mode detail blob. Shape depends on `code` — e.g. for `INSUFFICIENT_ESCROW_BALANCE` it may include `{ requested, available }`; for `ORDER_SIZE_TOO_SMALL` it may include `{ min }`; for `BUILT_ORDER_EXPIRED` it may include `{ expiry }`.
  - `data` UnifiedEvent — A grouped collection of related markets (e.g., "Who will be Fed Chair?" contains multiple candidate markets).
    - `id` string, required — The unique identifier for this event.
    - `title` string, required — The event title (e.g., "Who will be Fed Chair?").
    - `description` string, required — Long-form event description.
    - `slug` string, required — URL-friendly slug for the event.
    - `markets` UnifiedMarket[], required — Markets grouped under this event.
      - `marketId` string, required — The unique identifier for this market
      - `eventId` string — Link to parent event
      - `title` string, required — The market title (e.g., "Will BTC close above $100k on Dec 31?").
      - `description` string, required — Long-form market description or resolution criteria.
      - `slug` string — URL-friendly slug for the market.
      - `outcomes` MarketOutcome[], required — The possible outcomes for this market.
        - `outcomeId` string, required — Outcome ID for trading operations (CLOB Token ID for Polymarket, Market Ticker for Kalshi)
        - `marketId` string — The market this outcome belongs to (set automatically when outcomes are built)
        - `label` string, required — Human-readable outcome label (e.g., "Yes", "No", candidate name).

        - `metadata` object — Exchange-specific metadata (e.g., clobTokenId for Polymarket)
      - `resolutionDate` string, date-time — When the market is scheduled to resolve. Optional because some venues do not publish a cutoff for every market (e.g. Opinion categorical children) — emit `undefined` rather than coercing to epoch.

      - `volume` number — Total / Lifetime volume
      - `liquidity` number, required — Current market liquidity (USD).

      - `tags` string[] — Optional list of tags. More granular than category — e.g. ["Crypto", "Crypto Prices", "Bitcoin"] or ["Politics", "Elections", "Trump"]. Tags vary by venue: Polymarket markets carry several, Kalshi typically one.

      - `sourceMetadata` object — Raw venue-specific metadata not captured by first-class fields (e.g. Kalshi series_ticker / series_title from the parent event, Polymarket series). Passed through verbatim so downstream consumers can recover anything the unified shape omits. Each venue populates what it has.
      - `sourceExchange` string — The exchange/venue this market originates from (e.g. 'polymarket', 'kalshi'). Populated by the Router.
