Odds from every book, in one consistent format
Pre-match and live sports odds normalized across major bookmakers — 1X2, spreads, totals, player props and futures — with full line movement history built in.
One odds schema, instead of a parser per bookmaker
The Orbistats Odds API pulls pre-match and live odds from major sportsbooks and normalizes them into a single, consistent schema — one set of market names, one outcome structure, one odds format — regardless of which book the line originally came from. Instead of writing and maintaining a custom parser for every bookmaker's feed, you integrate once and get comparable data across all of them.
It covers the markets that actually matter for pricing and product decisions: 1X2 and moneyline, spreads and handicaps, totals, player props and futures, each tracked from opening line through live in-play movement to close. Pull it over REST for on-demand lookups, stream it over WebSocket when milliseconds matter, or backtest against multiple seasons of historical closing lines through the Historical Sports Data API, which shares the same schema.

From the moneyline to player props
Market availability varies by sport and league — major competitions carry the full set.
| Market | Also known as | Example use |
|---|---|---|
| 1X2 | Moneyline (2-way in sports without draws) | Home / draw / away outright result pricing. |
| Spreads | Handicap | Point or goal handicap markets for closer pricing on favorites. |
| Totals | Over/Under | Combined score or goals above or below a set line. |
| Player Props | Player specials | Individual player performance markets — goals, points, cards and more. |
| Futures | Outrights | Season-long or tournament-long winner and placement markets. |
Poll it, stream it, or backtest against history
The same normalized odds schema, available three ways depending on what you're building.
| Method | Best for | Typical latency | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| REST Query | Displaying current odds, scheduled jobs | Seconds | Call GET /v1/football/odds for the current line on a given match or market. |
| WebSocket | Trading desks, pricing engines, live UI | <1 second | Subscribe to an odds channel and receive every line change as it happens. |
| Historical Query | Backtesting pricing models | N/A — archival | Query closing lines and full movement history via the Historical Sports Data API. |

Common questions
Which markets does the Orbistats Odds API cover?
1X2 / moneyline, spreads and handicaps, totals (over/under), player props and futures markets, with coverage varying by sport and league.
Do you provide live in-play odds or only pre-match?
Both. Pre-match odds are available from the moment a fixture is scheduled, and live odds update in near real time as the match progresses, delivered over REST, WebSocket or webhooks.
How are odds normalized across different bookmakers?
Every book's raw feed is mapped into the same market and outcome schema, decimal odds by default with fractional and American formats available, so you can compare or aggregate lines across books without writing custom parsers for each one.
Is historical and line movement data included?
Yes. Opening lines, closing lines and full line movement history are available, and historical odds going back multiple seasons are accessible through the Historical Sports Data API using the same schema.
How fast do live odds update?
Live odds move in near real time as bookmakers adjust their lines, with WebSocket delivery built for pricing and trading use cases where seconds matter.
