What does DraftKings Odds + Player Props API do?

• Fetches the DraftKings public sportsbook event-group endpoint and player props category endpoint over plain HTTPS (no session, no login).
• Normalizes raw JSON into flat, stable rows: rowType, eventName, marketName, participant, label, line, oddsAmerican, oddsDecimal, selectionId, marketId.
• Separates standard odds markets from player prop markets by row type (odds vs player-prop) in the same dataset.
• Returns an OUTPUT / RUN_SUMMARY record with outcome, row counts, and billing evidence on every terminal path.

Why use DraftKings Odds + Player Props API?

• Sports betting research — pull real-time moneylines, spreads, and totals for any sport.
• Player props arbitrage — compare over/under lines across multiple players in a single dataset.
• ML pipelines — structured rows drop cleanly into pandas, BigQuery, or any columnar store.
• No browser overhead — HTTP-only means fast, cheap, and reliable runs without Playwright.

Pricing / Cost estimation

Billing is pay-per-event:

• odds-row-scraped — $0.002/row for standard market selections
• prop-row-scraped — $0.003/row for player prop selections
• apify-actor-start — $0.00005 per run start

A typical NFL week with 200 odds rows + 150 player prop rows costs about $0.85. All start costs are under $0.001.

Tips

• Use a specific state endpoint URL in oddsApiUrl (e.g. US-CO-SB or US-NJ-SB) for state-specific lines.
• Set maxRows low during testing, then raise it for production.
• DraftKings endpoints are geo-gated — runs execute from Apify's US servers which are within the supported regions.
• The default player props category is 1215 (DFS-style props); override propsApiUrl to target a different category.

FAQ & Disclaimer

Is this legal? This Actor fetches publicly accessible JSON endpoints that any browser tab requests when visiting the DraftKings website. It does not bypass any authentication, access restricted accounts, or violate any technical protection measures. The data is read-only and public. Always review DraftKings' Terms of Service before commercial use.

What if rows are empty? DraftKings endpoints can return no active markets outside of game windows or for events with no betting action. The Actor will return a VALID_EMPTY outcome in that case.

The odds look stale. DraftKings returns cached JSON; re-run the Actor for fresh data. For real-time polling, use an Apify Schedule.

Can I get multiple sports in one run? Not in a single run — one eventGroupId per run. Chain runs using Apify Workflows or call the Actor via API with different IDs.
