Get started with Odds Comparison Futures API v2
Introduction
The Futures API provides aggregated odds data for a wide variety of futures (or outrights) markets. All major leagues are available, with top US bookmakers configured.
The API is consistent in structure, format, and behavior with the other General Sport APIs. Primary feeds will return books, categories, sports, and tournaments offered.
Additional feeds provide a huge selection of futures markets broken down by category, competition, and stage.
Authentication is required for all API calls.
API Map
To best utilize the Odds Comparison Futures API, you will need several parameters to create your API calls. The map below illustrates how you can obtain the parameters you need.
Primary feeds require only a Sport parameter, while other feeds may require dates, IDs or other human-readable parameters to identify the category, sport, sport event or tournament that the feed will describe. The primary feeds provide IDs for categories, competitions and stages.
Mapping feeds provide a list of IDs for players, competitions, sport events, teams, and stages which are mapped between General Sport IDs and League Specific IDs. The mapping feeds have limited results per page. To get additional results you may need to use the optional query string parameters “start” and “limit” which are detailed in the affected feeds below.
