Odds API

An odds API is an interface that delivers bookmaker and exchange prices as structured data your software can read, instead of scraping betting sites yourself.

An odds API serves sports prices (match odds, totals, handicaps and more) as predictable, machine-readable data over an authenticated HTTP request. It replaces the brittle, ongoing work of scraping each bookmaker with one consistent interface.

What separates odds APIs, beyond breadth, is how much arrives ready to use. Some deliver clean, normalised prices you build on. A ready-matched feed goes further, delivering back prices already paired against exchange lay, rated and oddsmatcher-ready.

OddsRelay delivers this as part of one already-matched feed. See live coverage on the coverage dashboard.
