# Replay settled game-winner markets on paper

> Forwards the JSON body to the backtest edge function and returns that function's JSON. Paper replay of settled Kalshi game-winner markets. Scope markets:read, the same check as the other keyed market routes. A 2xx object has mode paper (set here when the function left it out). GET and every other method answer 405 method_not_allowed with Allow: POST, OPTIONS, and are not forwarded. The function's fields are ZBGC/Bettr-backend#47; this path is what the public host serves so the route is not 404 route_not_found. Paper only. Not cached.

    Arena Predictions paper trading with an API key: read, and place paper
    orders with trade:write. Arena-owned data only.
  description: >-
    Arena Predictions (arena-predictions.com) is a sandbox for paper trading
    prediction markets at live prices. Every endpoint here serves Arena's
    sandbox, where every trade is a paper trade (mode "paper"); routing to live
    trading is coming. Keys are read-only and reach Arena-owned data only: the
    key's own identity and account, the leaderboards and published trader
    records with their resets and settled picks. Keys are managed with the
    signed-in browser session, never with a key. No exchange ticker, market
    title, entry price or venue price appears in any keyed response; the owner's
    own portfolio carries the owner's own paper numbers (a resting order's
    limitCents, a position's costDollars and contracts). Balances carry over:
    every account starts with 100,000 paper dollars, and a reset (at most one
    every 30 days, shown on a public profile) starts a new run. 1.2.0: seasons
    removed (no season field anywhere), leaderboard windows and kinds, trader
    resets, GET /account. 1.3.0: accounts are private by default. A private
    trader answers private: true with every P&L and rank null (resets and busts
    0) and an empty pick list; a public trader whose earlier trades are still
    hidden has numbersShown: false and no P&L or rank. The key owner reads their
    own picks (each with placedPrivate and shown) and their own eval rows (GET
    /me/eval) with portfolio:read. No key can make an account public. 1.4.0:
    keys are managed by a person's session, on the website or as a signed-in
    CLI's session token (arena keys), never by a key; keys rotate with a grace
    period; every keyed answer carries the plan and its counts (RateLimit-*,
    Arena-Quota-*, Arena-Plan) and GET /usage says where the account stands; a
    new scope, markets:read, reads instruments, games and quotes; GET /portfolio
    and /portfolio/trades read the owner's positions, orders and trades. Venue
    references and venue prices are served only while the venue-data switch is
    on (it ships off): until then the quotes routes answer 403 venue_data_off
    and nothing keyed names a ticker or a venue's price. 1.5.0: GET /eval, the
    public eval board (records:read), each row with 95% intervals clustered by
    game. 1.6.0: GET /traders/{traderId}/track-record, a trader's Ed25519-signed
    90-day record exactly as Arena signed it (records:read; it names Kalshi
    series inside its signed bytes, so it is served only while the venue-data
    switch is on), and tiedWithAbove on each eval row (null while this row's or
    the row above's interval is unknown). 1.7.0: a key created with trade:write
    (only when asked for by name: the Settings checkbox, arena keys create
    --trade, or scopes in the body) places paper orders with POST
    /portfolio/orders and cancels them with DELETE /portfolio/orders/{orderId},
    at Kalshi's paths. Market and limit orders, buys by instrument or ticker and
    sells of a whole position, each with an idempotencyKey: the same key again
    answers the stored order with replayed: true and places nothing. Hard trade
    limits are always enforced: per key 10 new orders a minute and 50 a day, and
    20 sells and cancels a minute; per account, across every key and connected
    app, 20 new orders a minute, 100 a day, and 40 sells and cancels a minute.
    1.8.0: GET /traders/{traderId}/track-record asks promote-record for
    audience=keyed and is served while the venue-data switch is off
    (records:read). That envelope has the same scores, signed with the same key,
    and names no Kalshi series ticker and no venue. Quotes still answer 403
    venue_data_off until the switch is on. The CLI, the Python SDK and hosted
    MCP verify still read the public envelope, which names series. 1.9.0: POST
    /backtest (markets:read) forwards a paper replay of settled Kalshi
    game-winner markets to the backtest edge function. The JSON body is
    forwarded and the function's JSON is returned, with mode paper. GET and
    every other method answer 405 method_not_allowed and are not forwarded.
    1.10.0: X-Arena-Org, an organization id, on GET /portfolio, GET
    /portfolio/trades, POST /portfolio/orders and DELETE
    /portfolio/orders/{orderId}. When the header is present those calls use that
    organization's paper sandbox. When it is absent they use the key owner's
    personal paper account. A value that is not an organization id is 400
    invalid_request. An unknown organization is 404 organization_not_found and
    one this key cannot use is 403 organization_forbidden. The personal account
    is never the fallback, and the header does not select a Combine evaluation
    account. Paper only. 1.10.1: GET /organizations lists the organizations a
    personal API key belongs to. The call is forwarded to the organizations edge
    function with the caller's key, and the function's JSON is returned with
    mode paper. Each organization's id is what X-Arena-Org takes on the
    portfolio and paper-order routes. Any valid key, no particular scope. Paper
    only. 1.10.2: GET /portfolio and GET /portfolio/trades with X-Arena-Org
    return that organization's paper sandbox (cash, positions, resting orders
    and trades) and organization.slug. They do not return the personal account.
    The keyless website routes (/api/quotes/{instrumentId}, /api/quotes/batch,
    /api/gaps, /api/gaps/{instrumentId}) are described in their own document,
    /openapi-public.json.
