Best odds API
Here’s how to get the best odds per outcome across UK bookmakers — endpoints, a compact example response, and the core flow used by comparison products.
/events/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best Fetch an event_id for today, then call best odds for the event.
How it’s used
Best-odds outputs are “ready to render”: one row per outcome with the top bookmaker and odds. That makes it ideal for odds comparison pages, alert thresholds, and identifying odds gaps without scanning every bookmaker manually.
Show the best odds per outcome and link users to the best bookmaker.
Trigger alerts when best odds move past a threshold or when best bookmaker changes.
Copy‑paste these requests.
