Assets

An Asset is the underlying a prediction market is about: a company, commodity, cryptoasset, index, or fund. Apple is one Asset; an Apple market-cap contract is one linked Market. Gold is one Asset even when its contracts trade on several venues and the underlying itself trades as xyz:GOLD on Hyperliquid.

Identifiers

assetKey is Quotient's stable identifier. identifiers carries the exact platform symbols — a ticker, a Hyperliquid coin, a Kalshi series, an SEC CIK. Every Asset is also an Entity; company Assets additionally carry the Company identity. Searching a prediction-market condition ID finds the Asset linked to that market.

Linked markets

Asset search returns every active Market directly linked to each matched Asset, each with its own question, threshold, resolution date, venue YES price (market_odds), and latest Q probability where one exists.

Each probability stays attached to its own contract, so an Asset carries no probability of its own: an 87% Gold threshold contract and a 42% Gold monthly contract answer different questions.

Search follows the direct HAS_MARKET relationship and excludes markets connected only through the broader causal AFFECTS relationship.

Endpoints

  • /assets — the complete metadata directory in one response, optionally filtered by platform or Asset type. It is the lower-priced route and omits forecasts, venue odds, and linked-Market rows.
  • /assets/search — search by name, ticker, alias, Asset key, platform identifier, or linked Market reference, and get the enriched linked-Market rows. Priced the same as Market search.

Pass either q for names and symbols or repeated reference values for exact identifiers, not both. material_only=true works on its own as an enriched directory: an Asset qualifies when at least one of its active linked Markets has venue odds or a Q probability, and once it qualifies, all of its active direct linked Markets come back. linked_markets stays the complete direct list even when a relationship category is truncated.

Enriched rows can also carry the shared relationships envelope described in How Q works. The metadata-only Asset list does not.
