Odds comparison API

Looking for an odds comparison API?

Here’s how to compare UK bookmaker odds in one consistent JSON schema — with endpoints, a compact example response, and the fastest flow for building comparison tables.

Most common flow
/events
/odds
/odds/best

Use /best for compact comparison tables; use /odds for full grids.

How it’s used

Comparison pages that don’t break.

Comparison products fail when feeds have inconsistent market naming. The goal is simple: one set of market keys and one response shape across all UK bookmakers, so you can render tables, sort by odds, and compute implied probabilities reliably.

Compact tables

Use best odds for “top odds” rows per outcome.

Full grids

Use event odds to show every bookmaker odds in one response.

Endpoints

Copy‑paste these requests.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&per_page=10

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 example response (normalised across bookmakers).

{
  "event_id": "evt_123",
  "odds_format": "decimal",
  "bookmakers": [
    { "code": "UO004", "name": "Bet365" },
    { "code": "UO018", "name": "Paddy Power" }
  ],
  "markets": [
    {
      "key": "1x2",
      "outcomes": [
        { "name": "Home", "odds": 2.05, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
        { "name": "Home", "odds": 2.02, "bookmaker_code": "UO018" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

FAQ

Still got questions?

What is an odds comparison API?

It’s an API that lets you compare odds across bookmakers without integrating each bookmaker separately. You request odds and get a consistent JSON schema with bookmaker codes.

Should I use /odds or /odds/best?

Use `/odds` when you need the full bookmaker grid. Use `/odds/best` when you want “comparison-ready” best odds per outcome.

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 an account and subscribe to a plan, then explore endpoints in the Swagger playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs.
