Canonical page: https://draftkingsapi.com/draftkings-golf-api. Markdown: https://draftkingsapi.com/draftkings-golf-api.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.

## Golf data behind one key

Every Golf dataset this service collects, and the endpoint for each. Filter values differ by dataset, so use the code shown.

| Dataset | Golf | Endpoints |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pick6 player props | Yes, sport `PGA TOUR` | `/api/v1/pick6/projections`, `/api/v1/pick6/history` |
| Native sportsbook lines | Not offered | `/api/v1/sportsbook/scopes`, `/api/v1/sportsbook/snapshot` |
| ESPN-attributed mainlines | Not configured | `/api/v1/odds`, `/api/v1/history` |
| DFS slates, contests and salaries | Yes, sport `GOLF` | `/api/v1/dfs/slates`, `/contests`, `/players` |
| Box scores | Not supported | `/api/v1/stats/player-games` |

## Golf Pick6 props

On 11 Nov 2026 the Golf Pick6 board we held 64 rows across 64 props for 34 players and two stat types. The busiest stats were Strokes, Birdies or Better. Between 4 and 10 Nov we recorded 27 main-line moves across 25 Golf props.

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/pick6/projections?sport=PGA%20TOUR&stat=Strokes&view=compact&limit=100" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Build a prop screen from current Pick6 lines" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

Rows include ladder rungs; `is_default` marks the main target. A Pick6 standings multiplier is not decimal odds or an entry payout. Current counts are on [status](/status).

## Golf DFS slates and salaries

On 11 Nov 2026 storage held 1,369 Golf contest rows and 10 slate rows under sport `GOLF`, with roster-slot salaries for the draft groups we collect. A player can appear in several roster slots at different salaries; keep every row.

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/dfs/slates?sport=GOLF&limit=25" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Build a DFS lineup tool from current salaries" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"

curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/dfs/players?sport=GOLF&slate_id=SLATE_ID&view=compact&limit=1000" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Build a DFS lineup tool from current salaries" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

## What the Golf data does not include

- No native sportsbook scope for Golf.
- No settlement, graded results or contest standings.
- Recording began in early November 2026. There are no seasons of past lines.
