Exchange¶

Top-level exchange status, schedule, announcements, and your account's "user data updated at" timestamp.

Quick reference¶

Method	Endpoint	Auth
`status()`	`GET /exchange/status`	no
`schedule()`	`GET /exchange/schedule`	no
`announcements()` (deprecated in v7.0.0 — 404s)	`GET /exchange/announcements`	no
`user_data_timestamp()`	`GET /exchange/user_data_timestamp`	yes

Exchange status¶

status = client.exchange.status()
print(status.exchange_active, status.trading_active)
for shard in status.exchange_index_statuses:
    print(shard.exchange_index, shard.description, shard.trading_active)

Use this as a liveness check before placing orders. ExchangeIndexStatus.description is a required human-readable shard label (SDK v11.0.0).

Exchange schedule¶

sched = client.exchange.schedule()
for week in sched.standard_hours:
    print(week.start_time, week.end_time)
for window in sched.maintenance_windows:
    print(window.start, window.end)

Schedule.standard_hours is a list of weekly recurring windows; maintenance_windows is the upcoming downtime calendar.

Announcements¶

Deprecated in v7.0.0

Kalshi removed GET /exchange/announcements and the Announcement schema from the spec in 3.24.0, so the live endpoint now 404s. announcements() (sync + async) and the Announcement model are retained — each call emits a DeprecationWarning — pending confirmation the removal is permanent, and will be removed in a future major release.

for a in client.exchange.announcements():   # emits DeprecationWarning
    print(a.type, a.message, a.delivery_time, a.status)

Plain list, not a Page.

User-data timestamp¶

ts = client.exchange.user_data_timestamp()
print(ts.last_updated_ts)

Auth-required. The SDK enforces auth client-side even though the OpenAPI spec omits a security requirement, because the endpoint reports user-scoped freshness.
