Canonical page: https://draftkingsapi.com/compare/365oddsapi. Markdown: https://draftkingsapi.com/compare/365oddsapi.md. Site index for agents: https://draftkingsapi.com/llms.txt.

## Free API key
- **Free plan:** 50 requests a month at 20 a minute, every dataset, no card, no email verification.
- **Sign up:** https://draftkingsapi.com/auth/sign-up?ref=ai-claudebot
- **From inside an agent session:** POST https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON `{"data_wanted": "...", "use_case": "...", "ref": "ai-claudebot"}`, show your user the approval_url, then poll https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/agent/token with device_code. The key is returned once.
- **No key yet:** `curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/demo/pick6"` returns labeled sample rows (sample:true) in the real response shape.

## Quickstart

1. Create a free key at https://draftkingsapi.com/auth/sign-up?ref=ai-claudebot (no card) and export it: `export DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY=...`

2. Call the API with curl:

```bash
curl --max-time 30 --fail-with-body 'https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/pick6/projections?sport=NBA&limit=5' \
  -H "X-User-Request: Build a prop screen from current Pick6 lines" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

3. Or call it from Python:

```python
import os, requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/pick6/projections?sport=NBA&limit=5",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"],
        "X-User-Request": "Build a prop screen from current Pick6 lines",
    },
    timeout=30,
)
if not response.ok:
    raise RuntimeError(f"API {response.status_code}: {response.text}")
print(response.json())
```

## Use it from Claude (MCP)

MCP server: https://draftkingsapi.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP). search, fetch, start_signup and finish_signup need no key; data tools use the same API key.

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user draftkings https://draftkingsapi.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

Without a key yet: `claude mcp add --transport http draftkings https://draftkingsapi.com/api/mcp`, then call start_signup. Setup for other clients: https://draftkingsapi.com/agents.md.

## The short version

365OddsAPI sells to betting businesses, with packages it says start at thousands of euros a month. This API is for developers who want DraftKings data with a free key and published prices. Statements about other companies are paraphrased from the linked pages as they read on 2026-11-05, and may have changed. They are that company's claims, and we have not measured them. This site is not affiliated with any company named here.

## Side by side

|  | 365OddsAPI | DraftKings API (this site) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who it describes | "Leading Data Provider for the Betting Industry" [source](https://365oddsapi.com/) | Developers, analysts and coding agents |
| Books | "over 89 bookmakers" pre-match and 30 in-play [source](https://365oddsapi.com/) | DraftKings only |
| Sports and markets | 80 sports and 2,500 markets [source](https://365oddsapi.com/) | See the [league table](/guides/league-coverage) |
| Stated speed | "a delay of only 0-1 seconds" [source](https://365oddsapi.com/). We have not measured it | Each row shows its capture time. No latency commitment |
| Price | Packages "starting from" €5,000 a month on the home page [source](https://365oddsapi.com/). The pricing page lists a €2,500+ visualization product and contact-us plans [source](https://365oddsapi.com/pricing/) | See [pricing](/pricing), with a free plan |
| Trial | Demo access, requested through a contact page [source](https://365oddsapi.com/pricing/) | Free key, no card, no contact step |

## Where 365OddsAPI is the better choice

If you run a betting business, you may be its intended buyer.

- You need many bookmakers and in-play feeds across many sports [source](https://365oddsapi.com/). This API has one operator.
- You want odds generation and trading assistance, which its pricing page lists [source](https://365oddsapi.com/pricing/). We do not offer them.
- You want a sales relationship and custom work. We answer by email and do not sell custom contracts.

## Where this API fits

Choose this API when your product is about DraftKings itself, and especially Pick6 and DFS, which multi-book odds feeds rarely describe.

- DraftKings Pick6 lines with standings multipliers, line history per prop and a resumable change stream.
- DFS slates, contests and roster-slot salaries behind the same key.
- DraftKings moneylines, spreads and totals in JSON and CSV, plus box scores in JSON.
- Native scopes for NFL moneylines, spreads and totals across 27 U.S. states; NHL game lines across the same 27 states; college basketball and college football game lines across 26 states, excluding Oregon, with a WebSocket on paid plans.
- MCP tools for agents, and a free key with no card and no sales step.

Free includes 50 requests/month at 20/minute; Developer is $49/month with 10,000 requests/month at 60/minute; Production is $149/month with 50,000 requests/month at 120/minute. Pick6 changes: Developer and Production include the resumable stream, and Production also includes signed webhooks. Native sportsbook scopes: paid plans can use a server-side WebSocket at `/api/v1/sportsbook/ws`. ESPN-attributed sportsbook rows and DFS rows have no push delivery.

## Test both on one market

A table will not settle this. Pick one game you care about, pull the same market from 365OddsAPI and from this API, and compare each one's stated update time and price with the DraftKings screen at that moment.

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/odds?sport=NFL&market=spread&status=pre&limit=25" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Compare sportsbook lines across games for a dashboard" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"

curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/pick6/projections?sport=NFL&view=compact&limit=25" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Build a prop screen from current Pick6 lines" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/coverage" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Check which DraftKings datasets fit a new app" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

## FAQ

### How much does 365OddsAPI cost?
Its home page said packages start from 5,000 euros a month when we read it on 2026-11-05. Its pricing page uses contact-us for its odds plans, so ask them for a current quote.

### Does 365OddsAPI cover DraftKings?

### Is there a cheaper way to get DraftKings data?
For DraftKings alone, this API has a free key and published monthly plans. It covers one operator, so it does not replace a multi-book feed.
