[Bug]: setup_trading_approvals() fails with RequestRejectedError (code 19, "Temporary internal error") on every attempt — deposit wallet deployment

[H0lliday26]

SDK package and version

polymarket-client==0.1.0b8

Runtime

Python 3.14.6, Windows 11, pip

What happened?

Calling setup_trading_approvals() on a freshly authenticated AsyncSecureClient
fails consistently with RequestRejectedError (code 19, "Temporary internal error.
Please retry"). This happened on 4 separate attempts across multiple sessions,
all failing at the exact same point: broadcasting the gasless deposit wallet
deployment transaction via eth_sendRawTransaction. Despite the "Please retry"
message, every attempt fails identically -- this does not appear to be transient.

Setup: signature_type=0 (EOA/MetaMask wallet), Polygon mainnet (chain_id 137).

Trace IDs from 4 separate attempts:

• da5f32a8dfd4d1d86...
• 594f3ce12356f9ae3...
• 73036433a10071b20...
• 2c91aa295e469bea3f3d2fd2a0d67a6...

Full traceback (latest attempt):
File ".../polymarket/_internal/eoa/broadcast.py", line 54, in broadcast_eoa_call
tx_hash = await rpc.eth_send_raw_transaction("0x" + signed.raw_transaction.hex())

File ".../polymarket/clients/_transport.py", line 318, in _raise_for_response_status
raise RequestRejectedError(...)

Minimal reproduction

import asyncio
from polymarket import AsyncSecureClient

async def main():
    client = await AsyncSecureClient.create(
        private_key="<EOA private key>",
        wallet=None,  # signature_type=0, no separate funder
    )
    handle = await client.setup_trading_approvals()
    outcome = await handle.wait()
    print(outcome.transaction_hash)

asyncio.run(main())

Expected behavior, actual behavior, or logs

Expected:
setup_trading_approvals() successfully deploys/confirms the gasless
deposit wallet and trading approvals, returning a transaction hash.

Actual:
Fails every time (4/4 attempts) with:

polymarket.errors.RequestRejectedError: {'message': 'Temporary internal
error. Please retry, trace-id: [trace-id], code: 19}

The error message says "Please retry," but retrying does not help --
all 4 attempts (across different sessions/days) failed identically at
the same step (eth_sendRawTransaction inside broadcast_eoa_call). This
looks like a persistent server-side issue rather than a transient one.

Thank you for reporting this, it's something we fixed in the TS SDK and didn't port to the Python one yet.

PR #117 addresses this.

[cesarenaldi]

Mmmmh, the traceback here is on eth_sendRawTransaction, though, so there may still be a Python-specific broadcast issue underneath. Investigating

[cesarenaldi]

@H0lliday26 can you clarify the reason you provide wallet=None, # signature_type=0, no separate funder? In the specific the comment suggesting signature type 0 is not correct, so wondering if expectations are aligned.
