In‑play odds API

Looking for an in‑play odds API?

Here’s how to pull UK bookmaker odds during match windows using one REST schema — endpoints, a compact JSON example, bookmaker coverage, and the refresh flow most apps use.

/events
/events/EVENT_ID/odds
/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best

Load events for the day, then refresh odds for the event_ids users are viewing.

Endpoints

Copy‑paste these requests.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&per_page=50

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 odds response (normalised across bookmakers).

{
  "event_id": "evt_123",
  "odds_format": "decimal",
  "markets": [
    {
      "key": "totals_goals",
      "outcomes": [
        { "name": "Over 2.5", "odds": 2.05, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
        { "name": "Under 2.5", "odds": 1.82, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

FAQ

Still got questions?

Do you offer a true in‑play odds API?

Not today. UK Odds API is pre-match focused, with about-every-minute refreshes near kickoff. This page is for teams that want frequent updates around match day — not a full in-play trading feed.

How do I keep odds fresh on match day?

Load today’s fixtures first, then poll odds for selected event_ids on a schedule while users are viewing those matches.

How often are odds updated?

Last 2h before kickoff: about every minute. 2–6h: about every 3 minutes. 6–12h: about every 5 minutes. 12–48h: about every 10 minutes. 48–72h: about every 15 minutes. Further out: about hourly.

Which bookmakers are included?

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