Access betting odds from DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Pinnacle, Bet365 & 40+ more sportsbooks through direct and aggregated APIs.
A sportsbook API provides programmatic access to betting odds, lines, and markets from online sportsbooks. These APIs allow developers to integrate real-time betting data from major sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, Pinnacle, Bet365, and many others into betting applications, odds comparison sites, and analytics platforms.
Sportsbook APIs come in two forms:
Most developers use aggregated APIs because major US sportsbooks don't offer public APIs. Aggregators like The-Odds-API, SportsGamesOdds, and OddsJam collect odds from 40+ sportsbooks and provide unified access through one integration.

A sportsbook API provides programmatic access to betting odds and lines from sportsbooks like DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Pinnacle, Bet365, and others. APIs can be direct from sportsbooks (rare) or aggregated through third-party providers that collect odds from multiple books and offer unified access.
Pinnacle offers a free public API for account holders, providing access to their sharp market odds. Circa Sports has limited API access for partners. Most major US sportsbooks (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars) don't offer public APIs—you must use third-party aggregators like The-Odds-API, SportsGamesOdds, or OddsJam to access their odds data.

No, DraftKings does not offer a public API. To access DraftKings odds programmatically, you must use a third-party aggregated API like The-Odds-API, SportsGamesOdds, or OddsJam, which collect DraftKings odds and provide them through their APIs.
No, FanDuel does not offer a public API. Access FanDuel odds through aggregated API providers like The-Odds-API, SportsGamesOdds, or OddsJam. These services collect FanDuel odds along with 40+ other sportsbooks through a single API integration.
Aggregated APIs collect odds data from multiple sportsbooks (legally, without scraping) and normalize it into a consistent format. Developers make one API integration to access 10-50+ sportsbooks instead of building individual integrations. The aggregator handles sportsbook updates, downtime, format changes, and legal compliance.
Yes, using aggregated sportsbook APIs is legal. Reputable providers like The-Odds-API, SportsGamesOdds, and OddsJam obtain odds data through legitimate means (partnerships, licensed feeds, public data) rather than scraping. Direct APIs like Pinnacle's are explicitly legal as they're officially provided by the sportsbook.
Yes, some aggregated APIs include Bet365 odds, particularly those focusing on international markets. Bet365 doesn't offer a public direct API. Check providers' sportsbook lists—international-focused aggregators are more likely to include Bet365. Learn more about Bet365 API access →
OddsJam API and BetConstruct Odds Matrix offer 50-100+ sportsbooks, including both US and international books. For US-focused applications, The-Odds-API and SportsGamesOdds cover 40+ US sportsbooks including all major operators. More sportsbooks = more comprehensive odds comparison.
No, most sportsbook APIs are read-only (odds data only). They don't allow automated bet placement for legal and regulatory reasons. Some sportsbook APIs provide bet deeplinks that redirect users to the sportsbook's website/app to place bets manually. Pinnacle's API is one exception offering limited bet placement for account holders.
