DraftKings API FAQs

Direct answers about DraftKings filters, American odds display, pre-match updates, markets, and affiliation.

Is this the official DraftKings API?

No. odds-api is an independent data service that provides normalized DraftKings odds where coverage is available. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DraftKings, and it does not place bets or manage sportsbook accounts.

How do I request DraftKings odds?

Find an event that lists draftkings, then request GET /v1/events/{event_id}/odds/snapshot with bookmakers=draftkings. The response uses the same normalized event, market, period, selection, price, and freshness fields as other covered sportsbooks.

Can I show DraftKings prices as American odds?

Yes. Present familiar American prices such as +120 and -110 while keeping DraftKings markets in the same normalized format used across every covered sportsbook.

Which DraftKings markets can I use?

Common normalized families include moneyline, point spread, game total, team total, period markets, and player props where supplied. Check the event snapshot because market availability varies by sport, league, event, and time.

Can I stream DraftKings odds changes?

Supported SSE and WebSocket streams can deliver covered pre-match changes after an initial REST snapshot. This does not imply in-play coverage after the event starts.
