The Odds API

Tool to retrieve available market keys for each bookmaker for a specific event. Returns only recently seen markets - not a comprehensive list. More markets become available as the event's commence time approaches.

Tool to retrieve odds for a specific event. Use after confirming the sport key via THE_ODDS_API_GET_SPORTS and event ID via THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS. Before supplying markets, call THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENT_MARKETS with the same event and bookmaker filters and use only returned keys because market availability changes over time.

Tool to fetch live and upcoming events for a specified sport. Use when you need event listings including odds. All timestamps are UTC. Avoid high-frequency polling; batch requests and implement backoff to prevent throttling.

Tool to fetch live and upcoming event odds for a specified sport, including bookmakers, regions, and markets. Use after retrieving sports via GET_SPORTS; filter by region, market, or event IDs. Response is nested bookmakers → markets → outcomes; not all bookmakers expose every market for every event, so handle missing keys and empty arrays defensively. Combining multiple regions, markets, and eventIds produces large payloads — narrow to one region or specific eventIds where possible.

Tool to fetch list of participants (teams or players) for a specified sport. Use after confirming you have a valid sport key.

Tool to return live and recently completed event scores for a sport. Use after selecting a sport key to inspect current and recent game scores. Missing results may indicate unsupported competitions, not absent events. When identifying specific fixtures, match by both team names and date to avoid confusion with multi-leg ties or similarly named teams.

Tool to retrieve a list of in-season sports. Use when you need sports data; set 'all' to true to include out-of-season sports. Sport keys returned here must be passed to downstream tools like THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENTS and THE_ODDS_API_GET_EVENT_ODDS — mismatched or guessed keys return empty payloads. Similarly named leagues and qualifier competitions appear as distinct entries with unique keys; verify the exact key before use.

Tool to fetch odds using the legacy V3 API endpoint. Returns upcoming and live games with odds for a given sport, region, and market. Use for legacy integrations; V4 API is recommended for new implementations.
