bet365 odds API: quickstart
bet365 is included in every OddsRelay plan, Free too. One keyed call returns its pre-match prices beside exchange lay prices: the call, its quote and its reply.
bet365 is in every plan
bet365 is included in every OddsRelay plan, Free included: its pre-match prices for featured football and UK and Irish racing. It is not an add-on and needs nothing set on the key: name it in bookmakers like any other bookmaker.
This call needs a key. Sign up free: your first key is shown once when you finish. Save it as the environment variable ODDSRELAY_KEY.
Price the call first
This call asks the Standard feed for bet365's match odds on English football, with Smarkets lay prices beside them: bookmakers=, sports=, markets= and exchanges=. With quote= it returns the call's price in tokens instead of the odds, and a quote costs nothing.

# {"cost": …, "remaining": …, "rate_card": "…"}What the call returns
Drop quote= and the same call returns the events. In each outcome, back holds bet365's price and lay the Smarkets lay price, with available, the amount you can lay at it. Here is the reply, trimmed to one event and without the kick-off time and the links.
