Fetch fixtures for a date, then request odds for the event you care about.

What “sports odds API” means here

UK football odds, not every sport under the sun.

A lot of sports odds APIs are global and thin on UK retail books. If your product needs Bet365, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, and the rest for football, that is the job. Be clear with stakeholders: this feed is pre-match football, not a multi-sport firehose.

Fixtures first

List today’s (or any date’s) events with has_odds=true, then loop the event_ids you care about.

Full bookmaker grids

Pull /odds for every bookmaker on a market - same keys and codes across Bet365, Paddy Power, and the rest.

Best odds helper

One row per outcome with the top UK odds and bookmaker code - fast enough for tables, scanners, and alerts.

Build more on top

Same feed powers comparison, arbs, and +EV tools - link out to the arbitrage and valuebet product pages when you need those patterns.

Sports odds API endpoints (football)

Fixtures then odds - the core loop.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=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 from the events endpoint.
