DraftKings Sportsbook API: native game lines and NHL player props

Who this is for

Developers building with native New York game lines, NHL player props and streamed changes, alongside Pick6 or DFS data. Operated by DD Inc., an independent service not affiliated with or endorsed by DraftKings.

As of 2026-11-03, native sportsbook scopes cover New York NFL, NHL, college basketball and college football game lines and New York NHL Shots on Goal, points, assists, saves, goalscorers, power-play points and first-period shots. Read snapshots and streamed changes through the sportsbook endpoints. ESPN-attributed DraftKings moneyline, spread and total observations are also available across eight leagues. Current scope inventory is listed at /api/v1/sportsbook/scopes.

• Good fit: moneyline, spread and total context next to Pick6 or DFS data.
• Native coverage: New York NFL, NHL, college basketball and college football game lines and New York NHL Shots on Goal, points, assists, saves, goalscorers, power-play points and first-period shots.

What we supply today

There are two separate sportsbook sources with different provenance. Do not merge them without keeping the source on each row.

Read status and /api/v1/sportsbook/scopes for current availability and timestamps. Native changes retain supplier and receive clocks; ESPN-attributed rows keep source_updated_at null when that clock is unknown.

Choose a dataset

Native sportsbook prices, ESPN-attributed mainlines and Pick6 multipliers have separate source identities and endpoints.

When to use a broad provider instead

Statements about other companies are paraphrased from their public pages as they read on 2026-11-03, and may have changed. They are the vendors' claims. We have not measured them. This site is not affiliated with any company named here. Compare these providers when your application combines multiple venues or needs a different market inventory.

• OpticOdds claims 100+ sportsbooks and 25+ sports, with player props, futures, SSE streaming, historical odds and grading source. Its DraftKings page claims main lines, alternates, props and futures source. Pricing goes through a contact form source. For a multi-book consensus model, it is the stronger fit on its stated scope.
• The Odds API publishes self-serve credit plans and lists DraftKings as a US bookmaker source. It says player props are mainly US sports and bookmakers, read one event at a time source.
• ParlayAPI documents player props with draftkings as a bookmaker, with streams source. It says paid self-serve plans cover limited internal use source.

You can use both. A broad provider for sportsbook markets and this API for Pick6 and DFS is a sensible split. Keep each source's identifiers and clocks apart behind a small adapter.
