# AFL Odds API
The Odds API covers AFL odds for live and upcoming games in a simple JSON API.
Not a developer? Current AFL odds can also be accessed in Excel or Google Sheets. For website owners, the odds widget brings bookmaker odds into websites with a simple HTML tag.
# Features
AFL odds are covered for live and upcoming games.
Featured markets, including head-to-head, handicap, over/under are covered for several bookmakers. See the full list of bookmakers.
Additional markets including player props, quarter and half time markets, and more are covered for most AU bookmakers. See the full list of betting markets.
Odds are refreshed at regular intervals. More information on update intervals can be found here.
AFL scores are covered, with final scores available for games completed up to 3 days ago.
Current odds data and scores are available on all usage plans, including the free usage plan.
Historical AFL odds data is available on paid usage plans. Historical odds for featured markets (head-to-head, handicap, over/under) are available from mid-2020. Historical odds for other markets are available from mid-2023. More information on historical odds data can be found here.
The API response includes deep links to bookmaker websites.

The usage cost of the API call in this example is
usage cost = [number of markets] x [number of regions] = 3 x 1 = 3 credits
If you only need featured markets (head-to-head, handicap, totals), it will be more cost-efficient to query the odds endpoint since it will return multiple games.
See the API documentation for details.
