FAQ

Still got questions?

What is a The Odds API alternative?

A bookmaker odds API you use instead of (or alongside) The Odds API when you need deeper UK retail coverage, UK-first workflows, and markets such as player props — without scraping bookmaker sites.

How is UK Odds API different from The Odds API?

UK Odds API specialises in UK pre-match football across major UK bookmakers and exchanges (Bet365, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, William Hill, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betfair, and more), with stable UO### codes, best-odds helpers, and package=full for player props.

Does UK Odds API support player props?

Yes. Use package=full on the football odds endpoints. See the UK player props API hub for market types and Python examples.

What endpoints do most products need?

Start with events (`/v1/football/events`), then fetch odds (`/odds`) or best odds (`/odds/best`). Add `/arbitrage` on plans that include it.

Which bookmakers are included?

Major UK bookmakers and exchanges, including Bet365, Betfair, Paddy Power, Sky Bet, William Hill, Coral, Ladbrokes, Betway, 888sport, Unibet, and Spreadex. Full list via GET /v1/bookmakers.

Can I try the API before I pay?

Yes. Create an account, pick a plan (including Free when enabled), and try endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
