Why player props odds data

For anyone building goalscorer, cards or shots tools

Player props are some of the most searched football betting markets, but the odds are scattered across bookmaker sites in different formats. Anyone building a comparison table, an alert tool, or a tipster service for anytime goalscorer, cards, shots or assists markets needs this data in one consistent structure. That means pulling odds for the same player and market across multiple bookmakers without scraping each site separately. This page covers what player props odds data is used for and how it is structured before you get to specific endpoints.

Goalscorer comparison tables

Show anytime, first and last goalscorer odds side by side across bookmakers so users can spot the best price for a specific player. Useful for building comparison pages for popular strikers ahead of big fixtures.

Cards and shots alerts

Track odds movement on cards, shots on target or assists markets and trigger alerts when a bookmaker's odds move against the field. Handy for building value-spotting tools around disciplinary and attacking stats markets.

Tipster and content tools

Pull consistent player prop odds into tipster platforms or match preview content without manually checking each bookmaker's site. One data source across markets keeps published tips and articles accurate and up to date.

Research and modelling

Use historical and current player prop odds as an input for statistical models or staking research, alongside match odds from the same feed. Same schema means goalscorer, cards and shots data slot into existing pipelines without extra parsing work.

FAQ

Player props API

What is a player props data API?

A REST feed that returns player-level football markets - goalscorer, shots, assists, cards - as JSON across UK bookmakers. UK Odds API includes these on Pro via package=full with the same schema as match odds.

What is a player props API?

An odds API that returns markets on a named player - goalscorer, shots, assists, cards - not just match result and totals. Most public odds APIs stop at 1X2 and over/under. We include UK player markets on Pro via package=full.

Are player props the same as player markets?

Same family. “Player props” is the US phrase. In the UK you will also see player markets: shots, tackles, fouls, passes, saves. This page covers both. Goalscorer sits in the same feed.

Which plan includes player props?

Pro (and above). Request fixture odds with package=full. Core is match markets only. Full responses count as two requests against your quota.

Do you cover Bet365 player markets?

Where Bet365 (UO004) has the market, yes. Same JSON as Sky Bet, Paddy Power, William Hill and the rest. Filter bookmaker_codes if you only want one bookmaker.

Is this live in-play player props?

The product is UK pre-match football odds, including player markets where bookmakers have posted them. It is not a live sportsbook or in-play trading socket.

How do I start?

Sign up for a Pro trial, list events, then GET /odds with package=full. The playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs shows a real payload. The catalogue is on /market-coverage.
