Sportsbook API

Bookmaker API for Odds

Build a clear integration plan for Bookmaker odds: identify the sportsbook, model its markets and connect your selected books through a documented API. Start with SharpAPI's catalog and request format.

ByMike·Founder, SharpAPI

Integration Checklist

Turn your sportsbook requirements into a clear API request.

✓ Read sportsbook identifiers and plan requirements from the catalog
✓ Configure your selected sportsbooks in the dashboard
✓ Match events, markets and selections before comparing prices
✓ Plan SSE streaming with its paid add-on; Enterprise includes streaming
✓ Try the request format with DraftKings and FanDuel on the free tier

Build around sportsbook identifiers and a shared odds schema. A Bookmaker integration needs clear event matching, market selection and source identifiers.

Use the sportsbook catalog for API identifiers and plan requirements, then configure your selected sportsbooks. The odds reference describes the filters and fields to use in your application.

+EV detection starts on Pro ($229/mo), and the no-vig fair odds SharpAPI computes are returned with that +EV payload. Long-term historical odds are Enterprise-only. A free tier is available at $0/month with 60-second delayed data. Compare the limits on the pricing page.

The Problem: No Public Bookmaker API

Developers searching for a "Bookmaker API" quickly discover that Bookmaker does not offer a public developer API for odds data. There is no developer portal, no API key system, and no API documentation.

Some developers resort to scraping Bookmaker's internal endpoints. This approach is fragile, unreliable, and violates Bookmaker's terms of service. Their internal API changes frequently.

Building a betting app or odds comparison tool on top of unstable scraping is a recipe for constant maintenance and broken integrations.

Why Scraping Bookmaker Fails

Internal API changes without notice, endpoints break regularly
Aggressive bot detection and IP blocking
Violates Bookmaker terms of service
No consistent schema, data format varies by sport and market
Only Bookmaker data, need separate scrapers for every other book

Plan the Integration

Normalized Schema

Model events, markets, selections and prices using the documented fields. Keep the sportsbook identifier on each record for comparison across your selected books.

+EV Detection

+EV calculations use a separate opportunity endpoint, available from Pro. Plan your sportsbook selection and reference-book access alongside that feature.

SSE Streaming

SSE streaming requires the paid add-on on eligible plans; Enterprise includes it. SharpAPI uses push-based delivery from our edge to your application, separate from end-to-end freshness, which also depends on sportsbook capture cadence. Measure both stages for your own integration.

Use catalog identifiers to connect your chosen books to a shared schema.

Build Your Odds Request

Set SHARPAPI_KEY in your server environment. Read the catalog first and use its exact sportsbook identifiers. The second example starts with DraftKings pre-match odds on the free tier. Adapt the sportsbook filter to your selected books and handle pagination in the response.

1Create a free SharpAPI account, no credit card required.
2Copy your API key from the dashboard.
3Read the sportsbook catalog and configure your selected sportsbooks.
4Try the pre-match DraftKings example, then adapt it to your selected books.

Build on the SharpAPI Contract

Documented Requests

Use the API reference for authentication, filters and response fields. Handle pagination and errors once across your selected sportsbooks.

Cross-Book Analytics

Match event, market and selection identifiers before comparing prices. Keep the source sportsbook explicit and use the appropriate opportunity endpoint for analytics.

Start with the Free Pair

Sign up, get an API key, make your first request. The free tier covers DraftKings and FanDuel at 12 req/min with 60-second delayed pre-match odds, no credit card required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start with a Bookmaker odds API integration?

Start with the sportsbook catalog, your selected sportsbooks and the odds reference. These establish the identifiers, account access and response fields your application will use. This guide explains that workflow for developers researching Bookmaker odds integrations.

How should I configure a sportsbook request?

Read GET /api/v1/sportsbooks, use the exact returned id as your sportsbook filter and configure your selected sportsbooks in the dashboard. Then narrow the request by sport, league or event and handle pagination in the response.

How should I model Bookmaker odds data?

Model each record with its sportsbook, event, market, selection and line. Keep odds formats and timestamps explicit. A common schema lets your application compare records from the books selected for your account.

How do I compare odds across sportsbooks?

Match the event, market, selection and line before comparing prices. Keep the sportsbook identifier on each record, and use the catalog and your account selection to configure the sources included in the request.

How should I measure freshness in an odds integration?

Measure delivery from the API edge to your client separately from end-to-end freshness, which also includes sportsbook capture. Use the documented timestamp fields and test the sports, events and request path your application uses.

Which SharpAPI plan features should I consider?

The free tier covers DraftKings and FanDuel pre-match odds with a 60-second delay at 12 requests per minute. Select other sportsbooks through the catalog and account controls for your paid plan. +EV detection starts on Pro ($229/mo). SSE streaming requires a separate $99/month add-on on eligible paid plans; Enterprise includes streaming. Free keys cannot stream.
