Novig API for Odds

The Problem: No Public Novig API

How SharpAPI Solves It

What Novig coverage actually gives you

Novig is an exchange rather than a traditional sportsbook, and SharpAPI classes it that way. Prices come from users taking both sides instead of from a trading desk pricing in a margin, which is the point of the platform: there is no vig built into the number you read. For a pricing pipeline that makes a Novig line more useful as a fair-value reference to measure retail books against than as one more retail book in the stack.

Coverage is United States only, and SharpAPI carries both live in-play updates and player prop markets for it. The in-play half matters more here than it does for a retail book. An exchange price that goes stale once a game starts is only a pre-match benchmark, and comparing a moving retail line against a frozen exchange line reads as an edge that is not there.

Where it fits on a plan: Novig sits on every paid plan from Hobby up, so it is not one of the two books the free tier serves. SSE streaming is a separate paid add-on on top of any paid plan, so a plain Hobby key polls the REST endpoint for Novig prices rather than receiving them pushed.

Feature Comparison

More Than Just Novig

SharpAPI delivers every major sportsbook in one API, not just Novig. Compare every betting market, spot +EV opportunities (value betting), and detect arbitrage across all of them.

Plus 8+ additional books. All normalized to the same schema.

odds.data.forEach(event => {

// Real-time Novig odds via SSE
const url = 'https://api.sharpapi.io'
  + '/api/v1/stream'

const es = new EventSource(url);

es.addEventListener('odds:update', (e) => {
