FAQ

Still got questions?

What is an in‑play odds API?

An in‑play odds API is used to refresh odds during match windows so apps can keep tables and alerts up to date. Typical flows are fixtures → odds → best odds, with frequent refreshes while matches are active.

How do I use this for matches happening now?

Most products load today’s fixtures first, then refresh odds for selected event_ids on a schedule while users are viewing those matches.

How often are odds updated?

We update odds every minute.

Which bookmakers are included?

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