Frequently Asked Questions
Does SharpAPI have an NHL API?
Yes. SharpAPI provides real-time NHL betting odds from 43 US sportsbooks including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Pinnacle, and 38 others. Coverage includes moneylines, puck lines (spreads), game totals, and player props for every NHL regular season, playoff, and Stanley Cup Finals game.
What NHL markets does the API cover?
SharpAPI returns NHL moneylines (h2h), puck lines (+/-1.5 spreads and alternates), game totals, period lines, and player props including goal scorer, points, shots on goal, and saves. SharpAPI does not provide historical box scores or play-by-play — for those use the official NHL Stats API (api.nhle.com) which is free.
Is there a free NHL API for odds?
SharpAPI's free tier includes 12 requests per minute with no credit card required. You get NHL odds from 2 sportsbooks with a 60-second delay. Hobby ($79/mo) adds real-time data, SSE streaming, and 5 sportsbooks. The official NHL Stats API (api.nhle.com) is free for historical data.
What is a puck line in the NHL API?
The puck line is hockey's version of the point spread — almost always +/-1.5 goals. SharpAPI returns puck 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 NHL odds?
Yes. SharpAPI streams live in-game NHL odds via SSE on Hobby plan and above. Period lines and live moneylines update the instant sportsbooks move them. No polling required — each SSE event is a delta containing the sportsbook, market, outcome, old price, and new price.
How does SharpAPI compare to the official NHL Stats API?
The official NHL Stats API (api.nhle.com) is free and provides historical game data, rosters, play-by-play, standings, and schedules. It does not provide betting odds. SharpAPI provides real-time betting odds from 43 sportsbooks but not historical game stats. Most betting app developers use both: NHL Stats API for game context, SharpAPI for odds.
