UK football odds Telegram bot - alerts & best odds

Want Telegram alerts for football odds moves, surebets, or value? You build a bot on UK Odds API: poll fixtures and odds (or arbitrage), then notify with the Telegram Bot API when your rules fire.

Typical bot loop
1. GET /events
2. GET /odds/best
3. if rule → Telegram sendMessage

Poll on a cron / asyncio interval. Store last odds to detect moves.

What Telegram alert builders need

Odds in. Telegram out.

Telegram football alert products need a reliable odds layer more than they need another bot framework. UK Odds API supplies normalised UK football odds so your bot can focus on thresholds, bookmaker filters, and which chat gets the message.

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.

Odds endpoints Telegram bots usually call

No /telegram route - these are the odds inputs.

GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&upcoming=true&per_page=25

GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best?odds_format=decimal

GET /v1/football/arbitrage?date=YYYY-MM-DD&min_profit=0.5&limit=20

Replace EVENT_ID with an event_id from the events endpoint.

Example event odds response

Normalised markets and bookmaker codes - ready to render or store.

{
  "event_id": "evt_123",
  "odds_format": "decimal",
  "markets": [
    {
      "key": "1x2",
      "best": [
        { "name": "Home", "odds": 2.02, "bookmaker_code": "UO004" },
        { "name": "Draw", "odds": 3.45, "bookmaker_code": "UO018" },
        { "name": "Away", "odds": 3.78, "bookmaker_code": "UO006" }
      ]
    }

FAQ

Telegram football odds bot - FAQ

How do I build a UK football odds Telegram bot?

Poll UK Odds API for fixtures and best odds (or arbitrage), then send messages with the Telegram Bot API when your rules fire - odds moves, value thresholds, or surebets across UK bookmakers.

Is there a Telegram endpoint?

No. UK Odds API is the odds feed. Your bot sends messages via Telegram’s own Bot API.

What endpoints do Telegram alert bots usually call?

Most bots use /v1/football/events for today’s fixtures, /odds/best for compact odds, and optionally /arbitrage for surebet alerts.

Do I need to scrape bookmakers?

No. UK Odds API is a REST JSON feed - your bot authenticates with an API key and polls on a schedule.

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.
