Live odds API

Looking for a live odds API?

Here’s how to pull UK football odds with minute‑level updates across UK bookmakers — the endpoints to call, a compact JSON example, and coverage.

Refresh loop
/events
/events/EVENT_ID/odds
/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best

Get an event_id, then refresh odds for that match on your cadence.

Endpoints

Copy‑paste these requests.

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

FAQ

Still got questions?

What is a live odds API?

People often mean frequently updating odds. UK Odds API refreshes pre-match UK football odds about every minute near kickoff (slower further out) so dashboards and alerts stay current — it is not a true in-play/live trading feed.

Do you offer true in-play / live trading odds?

Our current product focus is pre-match odds with frequent near-kickoff refreshes. If you need match-state in-play markets, check the docs or contact us about roadmap timing.

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.

How do I refresh odds for a match?

Fetch an event_id from `/v1/football/events`, then poll `/events/EVENT_ID/odds` (or `/odds/best` for compact “top odds” outputs) on your chosen cadence.

Which bookmakers are included?

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