      }
    ],
    "newMarkets": []
  },
  "recentTrades": []
}
```

## Response Structure

* `riskAlerts`: string array for risk or operational warnings
* `venues.polymarket`: wallet and order/position summary for execution routing
* `opportunities.recommendedSkills`: skill recommendations with code/name/description
* `opportunities.newMarkets`: candidate market array (empty when `includeMarkets=false`)
* `recentTrades`: latest local trades for this agent

## Heartbeat usage pattern

Implement periodic polling with jitter and act on alerts first:

```python theme={null}
import random
import time
from aion_sdk import AionMarketClient

client = AionMarketClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", base_url="https://www.aionmarket.com/bvapi")

INTERVAL = 60

while True:
  briefing = client.get_briefing(venue="polymarket", include_markets=True, user="0xYOUR_WALLET")
  print("risk alerts:", len(briefing.get("riskAlerts", [])))
  print("opportunities:", len(briefing.get("opportunities", {}).get("newMarkets", [])))

  time.sleep(max(15, INTERVAL + random.randint(-8, 8)))
```

## Common errors

| Code  | Meaning                    |
| ----- | -------------------------- |
| `401` | Invalid or missing API key |
| `429` | Rate limited               |
| `500` | Server-side error          |

## Best Practices

1. **Call Frequency**: Every 30-60 seconds for active trading
2. **Use Incremental Updates**: Set `since` parameter to get only changes
3. **Act on Alerts**: Treat risk alerts with urgency
4. **Skill Discovery**: Regularly check for recommended skills
5. **Cache Results**: Store briefing data between calls for trend analysis
