## 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.

## Soccer data behind one key

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

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

## Soccer Pick6 props

On 11 Nov 2026 the Soccer Pick6 board we held 367 rows across 367 props for 171 players and several stat types. The busiest stats were Shots, Shots on Target, Goals, Saves. Between 4 and 10 Nov we recorded 32 main-line moves across 26 Soccer props.

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/pick6/projections?sport=SOCCER&stat=Shots%20on%20Target&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. The [Soccer board](/props/soccer) shows the current rows and [line moves](/line-moves/soccer) the recent changes.

## Soccer sportsbook lines

Soccer sportsbook rows are ESPN-attributed DraftKings moneylines, spreads and totals. No native scope is offered for Soccer.

ESPN-attributed DraftKings mainlines: 41 Soccer events and 309 side quotes were held on 11 Nov 2026, with history of each change.

```
curl --fail-with-body "https://draftkingsapi.com/api/v1/odds?sport=EPL&status=pre&view=compact&limit=100" \
  -H "X-User-Request: Compare sportsbook lines across games for a dashboard" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```

## Soccer DFS slates and salaries

On 11 Nov 2026 storage held 472 Soccer contest rows and 3 slate rows under sport `SOC`, 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=SOC&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=SOC&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"
```

Contest entry fees and prize pools: [DFS contests API](/draftkings-dfs-contests-api).

## What the Soccer data does not include

Stated so you can rule it out before you build.

- Counts on this page are a dated measurement of rows we held, not a complete board. The board changes daily.
- No native sportsbook scope for Soccer.
- No settlement, graded results or contest standings.
- Recording began in early November 2026. There are no seasons of past lines.
- No wagering. This service does not place, recommend or settle entries or bets.

  -H "X-User-Request: Build a prop screen from current Pick6 lines" -H "Authorization: Bearer $DRAFTKINGS_API_KEY"
```
