Frequently Asked Questions
Does SharpAPI have an MLB API?
Yes. SharpAPI provides real-time MLB betting odds from 43 US sportsbooks including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Pinnacle, and 38 others. You get moneylines, run lines (spreads), game totals (over/under), and player props for every MLB regular season, postseason, and All-Star game.
What MLB markets does the API cover?
SharpAPI returns MLB moneylines (h2h), run lines (+/-1.5 spreads and alternates), game totals, first 5-inning lines, and player props including strikeout totals, home run scorer, hits, RBIs, and total bases. SharpAPI does not provide historical box scores, batting averages, or play-by-play — for those use SportsData.io or the MLB Stats API.
Is there a free MLB API?
SharpAPI's free tier includes 12 requests per minute with no credit card required. Free tier covers MLB odds from 2 sportsbooks with a 60-second data delay. Hobby ($79/mo) adds real-time data, SSE streaming, and 5 sportsbooks.
What is a run line in the MLB API?
The run line is baseball's version of the point spread — typically +/-1.5 runs. SharpAPI returns run line odds under the "spreads" market key. Each outcome includes the team name, the points value (+1.5 or -1.5), and the American odds price from each sportsbook.
Can I get live in-game MLB odds?
Yes. SharpAPI streams live in-game MLB odds via SSE on Hobby plan and above. In-game lines update the instant a sportsbook moves them — no polling required. The SSE stream covers moneylines, totals, and run lines during live games.
How does SharpAPI compare to the MLB Stats API?
The official MLB Stats API (statsapi.mlb.com) provides free historical stats, game schedules, roster data, and play-by-play. It does not provide betting odds. SharpAPI provides real-time betting odds from 43 sportsbooks but not historical game stats. They complement each other — many developers use both.
