# More info
- The list of games returned in the /odds endpoint mirrors games that are listed by major bookmakers. This usually includes games for the current round
- Games may temporarily become unavailable after a round, before bookmakers begin listing the next round of games
- Games may be unavailable if the sport is not in season. For popular sports, bookmakers may begin listing new season games a few months in advance
- If no games are returned, the request will not count against the usage quota
- How to check if a game is live: The /odds endpoint response contains the
commence_timeof each game. This can be used to determine if a game is live or pre-match. Ifcommence_timeis greater than the current time, the game is pre-match. Otherwise the game is live. The /odds endpoint does not return completed games
# GET scores
Returns a list of upcoming, live and recently completed games for a given sport. Live and recently completed games contain scores. Games from up to 3 days ago can be returned using the daysFrom parameter. Live scores update approximately every 30 seconds.

...# Response Headers
The following response headers are returned

# Usage Quota Costs
This endpoint does not count against the usage quota.
# GET event odds
Returns odds for a single event. Accepts any available betting markets using the markets parameter. Coverage of non-featured markets is currently limited to selected bookmakers and sports, and expanding over time.
When to use this endpoint: We're gradually adding odds for additional betting markets. Use this endpoint to access odds for any supported market. Since the volume of data returned for these new markets can be large, we have decided to restrict requests to one event at a time. If you are only interested in the most popular betting markets, including head-to-head (moneyline), point spreads (handicap), over/under (totals), the main /odds endpoint is simpler to integrate and more cost-effective.
# Endpoint
GET /v4/sports/{sport}/events/{eventId}/odds?apiKey={apiKey}®ions={regions}&markets={markets}&dateFormat={dateFormat}&oddsFormat={oddsFormat}
# Parameters
Parameters are the same as for the /odds endpoint with the addition of the eventId in the path. All available market keys are accepted in the markets parameter.
- eventId The id of an upcoming or live game. Event ids can be found in the "id" field in the response of the events endpoint.
# Schema
For the detailed API spec, see the Swagger API docs (opens new window)
# Example Request
# Example Response
The response schema is almost the same as that of the /odds endpoint with a few differces:
- A single game is returned, determined by the
eventIdparameter. - The
last_updatefield is only available on the market level in the response and not on the bookmaker level. This reflects the fact that markets can update on their own schedule. - Relevant markets will have a
descriptionfield in their outcomes.

Keeping track of quota usage
To keep track of requests used and remaining on an API key, every API response includes the following response headers:
- x-requests-used
- x-requests-remaining
- x-requests-last
# More info
- Responses with empty data do not count towards the usage quota.
- When calculating the market component of usage quota costs, a count of unique markets in the API response is used. For example if you specify 5 different markets and 1 region in the API call, and data is only available for 2 markets, the cost will be [2 markets] x [1 region] = 2

Keeping track of quota usage
To keep track of requests used and remaining on an API key, every API response includes the following response headers:
- x-requests-used
- x-requests-remaining
- x-requests-last
# More info
- Responses with empty data do not count towards the usage quota.
- Prior to Septemer 18th 2022, only decimal odds were caputred in historical snapshots. American odds before this time are calculated from decimal odds and may include small rounding errors.
- Data errors aren't common but they can occur from time to time. We are usually quick to correct errors in the regular API, however they can still be captured in historical odds snapshots. In future we plan to remove known errors from historical snapshots.
- Bookmakers and sports will only be available in the historical odds API after the time that they were added to the regular odds API.
- Requests may be slower for data further back in time. This is by design, as we have optimized for more recent data, which we anticipate is likely to be requested more often.
# GET historical events
Returns a list of historical events at a specified timestamp for a given sport. The response includes event id, home and away teams, and the commence time for each event.

# Usage Quota Costs
This endpoint costs 1 from usage quota. If no events are found, it will not cost.
# GET historical event odds
Returns historical odds for a single event as they appeared at a specified timestamp. Accepts any available betting markets using the markets parameter. Historical data for additional markets (player props, alternate lines, period markets) are available after 2023-05-03T05:30:00Z. This endpoint is only available on paid usage plans.
Tip
When querying historical odds for featured markets, the historical odds endpoint is simpler to implement and more cost-effective.
# Endpoint
GET /v4/historical/sports/{sport}/events/{eventId}/odds?apiKey={apiKey}®ions={regions}&markets={markets}&dateFormat={dateFormat}&oddsFormat={oddsFormat}&date={date}
# Parameters
Parameters are the same as for the /odds endpoint with the additions of the eventId in the path, and the date query parameter. All available market keys are accepted in the markets parameter.
eventId The id of a historical game. Historical event ids can be found in the "id" field in the response of the historical events endpoint.
date The timestamp of the data snapshot to be returned, specified in ISO8601 format, for example
2023-11-29T22:42:00ZThe historical odds API will return the closest snapshot equal to or earlier than the provideddateparameter. Historical data for additional markets are available after 2023-05-03T05:30:00Z. Snapshots are available at 5 minute intervals.
# Schema
For the detailed API spec, see the Swagger API docs (opens new window)
# Example Request
# Example Response
The response schema is almost the same as that of the /event odds endpoint, but wrapped in a structure that contains information about the snapshot, including:
- timestamp: The timestamp of the snapshot. This will be the closest available timestamp equal to or earlier than the provided date parameter.
- previous_timestamp: the preceding available timestamp. This can be used as the date parameter in a new request to move back in time.
- next_timestamp: The next available timestamp. This can be used as the date parameter in a new request to move forward in time.

...# Response Headers
The following response headers are returned
- x-requests-remaining The number of requests remaining until the quota resets
- x-requests-used The number of requests used since the last quota reset
- x-requests-last The usage cost of the last API call
# Usage Quota Costs
The usage quota cost depends on the number of markets and regions used in the request.
cost = 10 x [number of unique markets returned] x [number of regions specified]
Examples of usage quota costs
1 market, 1 region
Cost: 10

Keeping track of quota usage
To keep track of requests used and remaining on an API key, every API response includes the following response headers:
- x-requests-used
- x-requests-remaining
- x-requests-last
# More info
- Responses with empty data do not count towards the usage quota.
- When calculating the market component of usage quota costs, a count of unique markets in the API response is used. For example if you specify 5 different markets and 1 region in the API call, and data is only available for 2 markets, the cost will be 10 x [2 markets] x [1 region] = 20
# Rate Limiting (status code 429)
Requests are rate limited in order to protect our systems from sudden bursts in traffic. This means there's a cap on the number of requests can that be sent each second. The rate limit can change depending on the system load. In most cases this shouldn't be an issue, however it can occur if too many requests are sent concurrently. If you enounter the rate limit, the API will respond with a status code of 429, in which case we recommend spacing out requests over several seconds.
