Football Betting Odds API

Betting API for UK Football Odds

A betting API that returns UK bookmaker odds for football as clean JSON. This is an odds data feed for building products, not an account betting platform or white-label sportsbook.

Sample odds response
Fixtures + bookmaker odds
as REST JSON

Match odds, BTTS, over/under and more, updated across the day.

Why people search for a betting API

What you actually need from a betting API

Most people searching for a betting API are not looking to take bets themselves. They want reliable, structured odds data they can pull into a comparison table, an alert system, a tipster tool, or a research model. That means consistent bookmaker coverage, clear market data, and a feed that updates often enough to be useful. UK Odds API is built for exactly this: a data source for people building on top of odds, not a betting operator.

Odds comparison tables

Pull odds from multiple UK bookmakers into one table so users can see who is offering the best price on a match. Useful for comparison sites and best-odds tools that need fresh, structured data rather than screenshots or manual checks.

Price alerts and notifications

Track odds movements on specific matches or markets and trigger alerts when a price crosses a threshold or a bookmaker changes their line. This suits alert bots, Telegram tools, and dashboards built for punters who want to act fast.

Tipster and prediction tools

Feed live bookmaker odds into tipster platforms, prediction models, or content sites that publish picks alongside current market prices. Structured JSON means you are not scraping or copying numbers by hand.

Research and trading analysis

Use historical and current odds to study market movement, identify value, or back-test staking strategies. Consistent formatting across bookmakers makes it straightforward to compare and analyse at scale.

Betting API endpoints (odds feed)

The calls most betting products start with.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&per_page=25

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds?package=core&odds_format=decimal

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best?odds_format=decimal

Replace EVENT_ID with an event_id from the events endpoint.

Example response
