Introduction
Odds Comparison Core (OC Core) is an access tier for the Sportradar Odds Comparison v2 APIs. Rather than a separate API, it is a pipeline configuration applied at the API key level by Sportradar Support — providing access to the global Core Crawlers pipeline, as opposed to the US-focused Magic Crawlers pipeline available by default.
Once enabled, your OC Core key can be used with the Prematch, Player Props, Live Odds, and Futures endpoints to return data from 140+ global bookmakers across a broad range of sports and competitions.
OC Core is well-suited for:
- Global bookmaker coverage beyond the US market
- Broader sport availability, including niche and regional sports
- Migration from the Odds Comparison Regular (v1) product

Need assistance?Contact our 24/7 Support team ([email protected]) to enable OC Core on your API key.
Identifying Your Access Level
Each OC API response returns an X-Origin-Id header that identifies the bookmaker pipeline your key is configured for:
X-Origin-Id Value | Access Level |
|---|---|
MARKET_ORIGIN_CORE_CRAWLERS | OC Core Key |
MARKET_ORIGIN_MAGIC_CRAWLERS | OC US Key |
Sandbox Testing
Once you have your OC Core API key, retrieve it from your Marketplace account and test it directly in the sandboxes of the Odds Comparison APIs:
All endpoints from the Odds Comparison v2 APIs are supported with your OC Core key.

OC Core vs. OC US
OC Core and OC US share the same API structure but draw from different bookmaker pipelines, resulting in meaningful differences in coverage, depth, and consistency.
| Area | OC US | OC Core |
|---|---|---|
| Default Access | Yes | No — configured by Sportradar Support |
| Ingest Source | Magic Crawlers | Core Crawlers |
| Coverage Model | Fixed | Broad, feed-driven |
| Bookmakers | US-focused set | 140+ global bookmakers |
| Sports | Limited, curated set | 30+ global and niche sports |
| Markets | Fixed and standardized | Supported list; event/feed dependent |
| Player Props | Extensive | Limited (Soccer goalscorer only) |
| Latency | Lower and more predictable | Variable |
| Consistency | High | Variable |
| Recommended for | US bookmaker comparison, lower latency, predictable integrations | Global bookmaker coverage, OC Regular migration, broader sport availability |
Although OC Core has broader bookmaker and sport coverage, it does not guarantee parity with OC US — particularly around player props depth, event coverage, feed refresh timing, and bookmaker market depth.
