Tools (24)

Events (Games)

The /sports/{sport-id}/events/{date} endpoint to request events for a particular sport on a particular date. The current odds and markets will be returned when available. To get historical odds for each market, use the individual `moneyline`, `spread`, and `total` endpoints in the `Lines` endpoints group. The date range defaults to UTC unless an offset query parameter is specified, which is the offset from UTC in minutes. For example, if the request is meant to be made from CDT, the offset should be offset=300 (5 hours). Specifying optional include values may be used to get lines for all markets (instead of just full-game by default) in addition to scores or the team names from specific sportsbooks. To request multiple, simply add multiple values and duplicate the include= parameter in the request like so: `?include=all_periods&include=scores`. When `include=all_periods` is used, the key for the lines changes from lines to line_periods. An optional offset in minutes from UTC may be sent in the request to group events by date with an offset. For example, if you are in CDT and want to see events grouped by date in CDT, then specify ?offset=300. Any value of 0.0001 represents the value NotPublished. This means that the sportsbook currently has not published a price or wager for this event, or that the line was removed.

Spread

Gets the current and historical spread for the provided `line_id`. Each market from each sportsbook for each game has a unique `line_id`. This `line_id` can be used to get historical pricing and values for each market. The `date_updated` value corresponds to when the price or value for this market changed.

V2 Player Season Stats

Player season stats for a taem

Totals

Gets the current and historical totals for the provided `line_id`. Each market from each sportsbook for each game has a unique `line_id`. This `line_id` can be used to get historical pricing and values for each market. The date_updated value corresponds to when the price or value for this market changed.

V2 Player Game Stats

Player stats for the event_id

Closing

This endpoint provides the closing lines offered for the various sportsbooks (affiliates). The key of the associate array in the lines attribute maps to the affiliate_id of the affiliate. For example, the key of "1" maps to the affiliate of "5Dimes". Values of 0.0001 represent a pulled line, or a line that was removed from the sportsbook. Add the below includes in the Optional parameters to include things like scores, team names for each sportsbook, or all available periods (halves/quarters/periods) for the events.

V2 Markets

Get available markets for an event. Optionally provide participant_type and participant_ids

V2 Event Markets

Get markets for an event. Optionally provide participant_ids and participant_types and market_ids. If market_ids are not provided, they will default to 1,2,3.

V2 Team Season Stats

Season stats for a team

V2 Market Participants

Get participants for the markets for an event. Optionally provide a list of market_ids

Delta (Changed Events)

The `/delta` endpoint returns only events that have changed since the last request, specified by the delta last id value contained in any /events request. The delta last id should be passed to the `/delta` request as the `last id` parameter. A sport id may be optionally used to filter the delta response. Specifying optional include values may be used to get lines for all markets (instead of just full-game by default) in addition to scores or the team names from specific sportsbooks. To request multiple, simply add multiple values and duplicate the include= parameter in the request like so: &include=all periods&include=scores. When include=all periods is used, the key for the lines changes from lines to line periods. A 400 will be returned if too many events have been updated since the last request. If this happens, you should use any of the events endpoints (events by sport by date) to retrieve a full snapshot of the events before using the delta endpoint again with the updated last id. Any value of 0.0001 represents the value NotPublished. This means that the sportsbook currently has not published a price or odds for this wager, or that the line was removed.

Schedules

Get the schedule for a sportID. Use the `from` parameter to change the starting date in the format of `yyyy-mm-dd` (ex: `2020-09-20`), which defaults to today. Use a `limit` parameter to set the number of events returned in the response. The max is `500` and the default is `50`. The schedules are ordered by `date_event` ascending, so send the largest or last `date_event` value current response to get the next available page.

V2 Players

Players by team

V2 Team Game Stats

Team stats for the event_id

Sports

Get available sports. Sports may or may not have events depending on season and what is available on sportsbooks.

Affiliates (Sportsbooks)

Get affiliates (aka sportsbooks). The `affiliate_id` value of each sportsbook is used as the key in the `lines` or `line_periods` events response. For example, `5Dimes` has an `affiliate_id` of `1`, so their lines are available with the key of `1` in the `events` endpoints responses.

Conferences

Get conferences for a sport

V2 Stats

Get all available stats. Optionally filter by sport_id

Openers

This endpoint provides the opening lines offered for the various sportsbooks (affiliates). The key of the associate array in the lines attribute maps to the affiliate_id of the affiliate. For example, the key of "1" maps to the affiliate of "5Dimes". Values of 0.0001 represent a pulled line, or a line that was removed from the sportsbook. Add the below includes in the Optional parameters to include things like scores, team names for each sportsbook, or all available periods (halves/quarters/periods) for the events.

Dates with Odds

Get the dates of the sport's events that contain odds that are on or after the current date. To get all the events regardless of whether or not they have odds use the events by sport and date endpoint. An optional offset in minutes from UTC may be sent in the request to get dates offset from UTC. For example, if you want the results in CDT, then specify ?offset=300.

Teams

Teams provides a list of teams that are included in the `normalized_teams` attribute of the events responses.

Divisions

Get divisions for a sport

Moneyline

Gets the current and historical moneyline for the provided `line_id`. Each market from each sportsbook for each game has a unique `line_id`. This `line_id` can be used to get historical pricing and values for each market. The date_updated value corresponds to when the price or value for this market changed.

Event

The /events/{event-id} endpoint can be used to request information for a single event. The currently available odds from each sportsbook will be returned with the game information. Specifying optional include values may be used to get lines for all markets (instead of just full-game by default) in addition to scores or the team names from specific sportsbooks. To request multiple, simply add multiple values and duplicate the include= parameter in the request like so: `&include=allperiods&include=scores`. When `include=allperiods` is used, the key for the lines changes from lines to line_periods. Any value of `0.0001` represents the value NotPublished. This means that the sportsbook currently has not published a price or odds for this wager, or that the line was removed.
