What football odds API buyers need

UK football odds your product can ship on.

If you are building comparison, alerts, tipster tools, or research, you need clean fixtures and bookmaker odds, not a pile of scrapers. UK Odds API is a UK-first football odds feed: events, full grids, best odds, and deeper markets on the same schema.

Fixtures first

List today’s (or any date’s) events with has_odds=true, then loop the event_ids you care about.

Full bookmaker grids

Pull /odds for every bookmaker on a market - same keys and codes across Bet365, Paddy Power, and the rest.

Best odds helper

One row per outcome with the top UK odds and bookmaker code - fast enough for tables, scanners, and alerts.

Build more on top

Same feed powers comparison, arbs, and +EV tools - link out to the arbitrage and valuebet product pages when you need those patterns.

Football odds API endpoints

The calls your fixture board, comparison table, or alert bot actually hits.

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 event odds response

FAQ

Football odds API - FAQ

What is a football odds API?

A football odds API returns fixtures and bookmaker odds as JSON over REST. UK Odds API focuses on UK pre-match football: list events for a date, then fetch odds (or best odds) for an event_id.

Is this a betting odds API?

Yes - same UK football feed whether you search “football odds API” or “betting odds API”. Fixtures, normalised bookmaker odds, and best-odds helpers in one REST schema.

Do you support soccer odds API queries?

Yes - soccer and football refer to the same UK football feed here. Use `/v1/football/events` and `/odds` for fixtures and bookmaker odds.

Do you cover horse racing, NFL, or cricket?

No. UK Odds API is UK pre-match football only - not racing, NFL, cricket, tennis, or other sports.

How is this different from a global sports odds API?

We specialise in UK bookmaker depth (Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, William Hill, and more) with stable bookmaker codes and normalised market keys - not a thin multi-country sample.

How do I get today’s football fixtures with odds?

Call `GET /v1/football/events` with `schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD` and `has_odds=true`. Then request `/odds` or `/odds/best` for the event_id you want.

Can I build arbitrage or value tools on this feed?

Yes. This is the core odds layer. You can build arb and +EV products on `/odds` and `/odds/best`, or use the dedicated arbitrage endpoint - see /arbitrage-api and /value-bet-api.

Which bookmakers are included?

All major UK bookmakers, including Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, William Hill, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betway, 888sport, Unibet, and Spreadex.

Can I try the API before I pay?

Yes. Create an account and subscribe to a plan, then explore endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
