# DFlow (/docs/nodes/defi/dflow)

Prediction market events, orderbooks, and trades via DFlow.



DFlow is a prediction market protocol on Solana. The DFlow node provides event discovery, market data, orderbooks, candlesticks, and trade history.

Prerequisites [#prerequisites]

No credential required. All operations use DFlow's public API.

Output [#output]

All operations return the standard envelope:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "operation": "getEvents",
  "data": { /* raw DFlow response */ }
}
```

Reference fields downstream with the response name (default `dflowResponse`), for example `{dflowResponse.data[0].ticker}` for a list of events or `{dflowResponse.data.outcomes[0].price}` for `getMarket`.

Common use cases [#common-use-cases]

* Monitor prediction market odds for crypto events
* Track orderbook depth and trade volume
* Combine with AI to analyze event sentiment
