Football odds API

Looking for a football odds API?

Here’s how to pull UK football fixtures and UK bookmaker odds in one schema — copy‑paste endpoints, a compact JSON example, and which bookmakers are covered.

Typical flow
/events
/events/EVENT_ID/odds
/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best

Fetch an event_id for today, then request odds (or best odds for compact tables).

Endpoints

Copy‑paste these requests.

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 returned by the events endpoint.

Sample JSON

A compact event odds response (normalised across bookmakers).

  "event_id": "evt_123",

  "bookmakers": [
    { "code": "UO004", "name": "Bet365" },
    { "code": "UO018", "name": "Paddy Power" }
  ],
  "markets": [
    {
      "key": "1x2",
      "outcomes": [
        { "name": "Home", "odds": 2.05, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
        { "name": "Draw", "odds": 3.40, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
        { "name": "Away", "odds": 3.85, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

FAQ

Still got questions?

What is a football odds API?

It’s a REST API that returns football fixtures and bookmaker odds as JSON. You request events for a date, then request odds for a specific event_id (optionally using best odds for compact comparison views).

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 for the event_id you want.

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 a free account and generate an API key, then explore endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
