What people actually need
Fixtures, markets, and William Hill odds in JSON — often next to Bet365, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, and William Hill — for comparison tables, alerts, tipster tools, or internal dashboards.
William Hill odds API
Looking for a William Hill API? There isn’t a simple official odds API for building your own product —
and scraping William Hill is a maintenance trap. UK Odds API gives you William Hill pre-match
football odds as normalised REST JSON (UO028), alone or compared with the rest of the UK market.
bookmaker_codes=UO028 Pass bookmaker_codes=UO028 on odds endpoints for William Hill only, or omit it to compare against other UK bookmakers.
The search intent
William Hill does not offer a public developer API for shipping pre-match football odds into your own app, dashboard, or tipster product. There is no official William Hill odds feed you can just subscribe to and call like Stripe.
Fixtures, markets, and William Hill odds in JSON — often next to Bet365, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, and William Hill — for comparison tables, alerts, tipster tools, or internal dashboards.
Affiliate links or account-holder tooling, not a documented multi-tenant odds API you can embed in a SaaS without scraping.
The DIY trap
A William Hill scraper looks cheap on day one. In production it becomes a full-time job: DOM changes, bot challenges, IP blocks, and Terms of Service risk — before you even normalise markets against other UK bookmakers.
Layouts and XHR payloads change without notice. Proxies, CAPTCHAs, and rate limits add cost and downtime.
Automated extraction is typically prohibited. For a commercial product, a managed feed is the cleaner path. See legal risks of scraping.
The simple path
UK Odds API is a UK-first REST API for pre-match football odds. Filter to William Hill with
UO028, or drop the filter to compare across 34 UK bookmakers and exchanges in one schema —
OpenAPI docs, stable codes, no HTML parsers.
Resolve fixtures, then request odds filtered to William Hill. For comparison products, pull the full grid or /odds/best. Pro unlocks all 34 UK bookmakers and advanced markets without maintaining scrapers.
Most customers run on Pro (£149/mo, 7-day trial): 34 UK bookmakers, advanced markets including player props, historical odds. Start with a trial, then call the endpoints below.
How to integrate
Once you have an API key, the flow is the same for every UK bookmaker: list fixtures, request odds, optionally filter to William Hill.
List events for a date and select an event_id.
Fetch odds and filter to William Hill via bookmaker_codes=UO028.
Copy‑paste these requests.
GET /v1/football/events?schedule_date=YYYY-MM-DD&has_odds=true&upcoming=true&per_page=10
GET /v1/football/events/EVENT_ID/odds/best?odds_format=decimal&bookmaker_codes=UO028 Replace EVENT_ID with an event_id returned by the events endpoint.
A compact example response (shape is normalised across bookmakers).

FAQ
William Hill does not publish a public developer API for pulling pre-match football odds into your own product. Teams usually either scrape the website (fragile and against typical Terms of Service) or use a bookmaker odds API such as UK Odds API.
You can try, but scrapers break when the site changes, hit anti-bot controls, and usually violate Terms of Service. For production apps, a managed odds API is simpler and lower risk than maintaining a William Hill HTML parser.
Call fixtures with /v1/football/events, then odds with bookmaker_codes=UO028. Remove the filter to compare William Hill against the wider UK market.
