Why this exists

Most “odds APIs” stop at 1X2. UK bookmakers do not.

If you are building something that needs Haaland anytime, shots on target, or cards for a named player, you need player markets. A lot of odds APIs stop at 1X2 and totals. We give you the UK board in one JSON document: Bet365, Sky, Paddy, William Hill, and the rest.

Player props

Named-player selections: to score, to be booked, shots on target, and similar lines.

Player markets

UK labelling for the same idea: assists, tackles, fouls, passes, keeper saves, headed shots.

Goalscorer depth

Anytime, first, last, 2+, hat-trick, header, outside the box, score or assist — not a single anytime market.

Same codes as everything else

UO004 is still Bet365. Filter one bookmaker or compare. No second integration for “specials.”

FAQ

Player props API

What is a player props API?

An odds API that returns markets on a named player — goalscorer, shots, assists, cards — not just match result and totals. Most public odds APIs stop at 1X2 and over/under. We include UK player markets on Pro via package=full.

Are player props the same as player markets?

Same family. “Player props” is the US phrase. In the UK you will also see player markets: shots, tackles, fouls, passes, saves. This page covers both. Goalscorer sits in the same feed.

Which plan includes player props?

Pro (and above). Request fixture odds with package=full. Core is match markets only. Full responses count as two requests against your quota.

Do you cover Bet365 player markets?

Where Bet365 (UO004) has the market, yes. Same JSON as Sky Bet, Paddy Power, William Hill and the rest. Filter bookmaker_codes if you only want one bookmaker.

Is this live in-play player props?

The product is UK pre-match football odds, including player markets where bookmakers have posted them. It is not a live sportsbook or in-play trading socket.

How do I start?

Sign up for a Pro trial, list events, then GET /odds with package=full. The playground at api.ukoddsapi.com/docs shows a real payload. The catalogue is on /market-coverage.
