PrizePicks Player Props Scraper - Lines & Line Moves

For DFS and betting models: every PrizePicks player prop as one row - player, team, stat, period, the line itself, whether it is a standard, demon or goblin line, whether it is over-only or offers both sides, and the game start time. On 2026-09-28 a single request returned 9,455 lines across 23 leagues. Turn monitoring on and later runs return only the lines that have actually changed, with the previous value, the first value ever seen and both differences in the same row - so you are not charged again for a line that has not moved.

Why monitoring matters here

Most of PrizePicks' board does not move between runs. Measured by reading the whole board twice, 15 minutes apart, on 2026-09-28:

	lines
on the board the first time	9,381
on the board the second time	9,455
changed (line, odds type, sides, status, flash-sale line or start time)	35
- of which the line itself moved	15
- of which the start time moved	14
newly listed	105
charged in monitoring mode	140 (1.5%)
lines that had been taken down	31

A line keeps its PrizePicks id when its number moves (for example Rush + Rec Yards 169.5 to 179.5 on the same id), so a moved line comes back as a change with previousLine and lineMove, not as an unrelated new row.

Both reads are in this repository as test/fixtures/board-a-summary.json and board-b-summary.json (the id and the watched values of every line), and npm test recounts every number above. The 94-line and 97-line samples in test/fixtures/board-a.json and board-b.json are cut from the same two reads.

How much moves depends on the gap between runs, and one measurement is one measurement. Set the run's maximum total charge if you want a hard ceiling rather than trusting a rate.

What you get

One row per line. Columns:

• Identity - projectionId (PrizePicks' id; stable across runs and across line moves - use it to join runs), groupKey (shared by a line and its alternates)
• League - league (PrizePicks' league name, e.g. NFL, NFL1H, SOCCER), leagueId, leagueCode
• Player - playerId, playerName, isCombo (two or more players added up), position, jerseyNumber, team, teamName, teamMarket
• Game - description (PrizePicks' own text: usually the opponent, but for season props it is the season, and for esports it can be the opponent plus the map), eventType, gameId, gameExternalId, gameStartsAt (UTC), gameStatus, homeTeam, awayTeam
• The prop - stat, statDisplayName, statTypeId, period (Full, 1st Half, 1Q, MAP 3...), projectionType, line, oddsType (standard / demon / goblin), allowedWagerTypes, overOnly, flashSaleLine, isPromo, isLive, lineStatus, adjustedOdds, trendingCount, boardTime, lineUpdatedAt
• Monitoring only - isNewSinceLastRun, changeKinds (new / line / odds-type / sides / status / flash-sale / start-time), previousLine, lineMove, firstSeenLine, lineMoveSinceFirstSeen, previousOddsType, previousAllowedWagerTypes, previousLineStatus, previousGameStartsAt, firstSeenAt, previouslySeenAt

Standard, demon and goblin

PrizePicks lists the same stat at different difficulty levels. On 2026-09-28: 6,525 demon, 1,646 goblin and 1,284 standard lines of 9,455. Filter them with oddsTypes.

Over-only or both sides

allowedWagerTypes is PrizePicks' own field: over on 6,756 lines, under_or_over on 1,408, and missing on 1,291. overOnly is true, false, or empty when PrizePicks does not say - it is never guessed.

Leagues

Use PrizePicks' own league names: NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, NHL, SOCCER, TENNIS, CS2, VAL, Dota2, R6, DARTS, and the period and season boards such as NFL1H, NFL1Q, WNBA1Q, NHL1P, NBASZN, NHLSZN. Each name is checked against PrizePicks' league list (138 leagues, 24 with lines on 2026-09-28) before anything else is asked, because PrizePicks answers an unknown league with an empty list that looks exactly like a league with no lines today. A name PrizePicks does not have comes back as a free row that lists the leagues with lines right now.

Counts on 2026-09-28: SOCCER 3,210 / MLB 1,787 / WNBA 1,651 / NFL 905 / NBASZN 557 / NBA 193, and 17 smaller boards. NFL is the full game only; first-half and first-quarter props are the separate NFL1H and NFL1Q boards. Leave leagues empty and you read every league on the board - but a run returns at most maxLines rows (default 1,000), and the whole board was 9,455 to 9,636 lines on 2026-09-28, so raise maxLines (up to 20,000) to receive all of it in one run. PrizePicks decides the order, so the first 1,000 lines are not spread evenly across leagues.

Input

Everything is optional. With an empty input the whole board comes back, up to maxLines.

field	what it does
leagues	read only these PrizePicks leagues. Empty = every league
players	keep a line only if the player's name contains one of these (partial, case-insensitive)
stats	keep a line only if the stat contains one of these
teams	keep a line only if the team, team name, market, description or home/away team contains one of these
oddsTypes	keep only standard, demon and/or goblin lines
onlyBothSides	keep only lines PrizePicks marks under_or_over
excludeLiveLines	drop lines PrizePicks marks as live
excludeCombos	drop lines that add up two or more players
startsWithinHours	only games starting within this many hours. 0 = no limit
keywords / keywordMatch / excludeKeywords	keep or drop on any of the text columns; keywordMatch is any or all
maxLines	how many rows this run may return (default 1,000)
monitoringMode	return only lines that changed since the last run with this same input
resetMonitoringState	forget what was already returned, so everything counts as new again
onlyLineMoves	monitoring only: drop changes where only the odds type, sides, status or start time changed
minLineMove	monitoring only: the line must have moved at least this far

Filtering happens after the board is read, so it never costs an extra request. Filters keep rows whose value is unknown rather than dropping them, because unknown is not the same as small - with two exceptions: teams drops rows with no team information at all, and onlyBothSides drops rows where PrizePicks does not say, because naming a team or asking for both sides means you do not want guesses.

Honest limits

• US residential addresses only. PrizePicks answers datacentre addresses with HTTP 403 ("PrizePicks is currently unavailable in your location"), so every request goes through Apify's US residential proxy. PrizePicks also decides by state, so a refused request is asked again through another US residential address, up to four times. If PrizePicks answers with a browser check page instead of data, the run stops at once and does not try to get around it.
• Pre-game board as PrizePicks publishes it. lineStatus was pre_game on all 9,455 lines; 18 of them were also marked isLive. Results and scores are not included.
• description is not always the opponent. It is PrizePicks' own text: CHI for an NFL player, the other player for tennis, 2026-2027 Season for season props, Nemiga MAP 3 for esports. It is returned as written and never relabelled as an opponent. homeTeam and awayTeam are filled in only when PrizePicks attaches them to the game.
• Some values jump around by themselves. trendingCount, the board position and lineUpdatedAt change within seconds without the line changing, so they are returned but never count as a change. Two reads of the whole board made at the same moment returned the same watched values on all 9,455 lines, while those jumping values changed on hundreds of lines within the same minute.
• Paging. PrizePicks returns a whole league in one answer and ignores page settings (asking for 50 per page still returned all 193 NBA lines). If it ever answers with more than one page, the run follows the pages and stops as soon as a page brings no new line, so the same line is never charged twice.
• Monitoring memory is per input. Two schedules with different filters keep separate memories. If two runs with the same input finish at the same instant, one can overwrite the other's memory - Apify key-value stores have no atomic update, so this cannot be fully prevented. The run says so in its log when it happens. Do not put the same input in two schedules that overlap.
• A changed line that was not returned is not remembered. If a run hits "Maximum lines to return" or the run's maximum total charge, or if a line changed but has not yet moved far enough for minLineMove / onlyLineMoves, its earlier values are deliberately kept. So a line that moves 0.5 twice does reach a minLineMove of 1 - the movement adds up instead of being reset each run.
• A changed line your other filters exclude is remembered, at its new value. Leagues, players, stats, teams and odds types are about which lines you want at all, so widening one of them later does not dump the whole board on you as new.
• startsWithinHours is different: lines outside the window are not remembered. The window moves by itself as time passes, so a line whose game is still too far away is offered as new on the first run in which its game enters the window, instead of being hidden until its number happens to move.
• This is not advice about betting or investing. It returns what PrizePicks publishes, nothing more.

Rows that are never charged

Every run that returns nothing, or not everything, says why, in a free row:

status	meaning
no-results	PrizePicks answered correctly and listed no lines
no-filter-match	lines were read, the filters removed all of them
no-line-move	monitoring mode: nothing you asked for has changed
limit-reached	more lines matched than "Maximum lines to return"
charge-limit-reached	the run's maximum total charge was reached before all matching lines were returned
partial-board	some of the leagues you asked for could not be read; the others were returned
blocked	PrizePicks refused the request (403 / 429 / 503) every time it was asked
challenge-page	PrizePicks answered with a browser check page; the run stopped without getting around it
unreadable	the answer could not be read, or its shape changed
unsupported-input	the input asks for something that does not exist (a league PrizePicks does not have, an unknown odds type)
monitoring-memory-unavailable	monitoring mode could not read its memory for this input, so the run stopped before asking PrizePicks instead of charging every line again as new

no-results, no-line-move and blocked are deliberately different things. A refused request is never reported as "there are no lines".

Pricing

Two charges, and nothing else:

event	price
actor-start - once per run in which PrizePicks answered with at least one line	$0.04 (less on paid Apify plans)
prop-scraped - per line returned	$0.10 per 1,000 (less on paid Apify plans)

Rows that explain why nothing came back are always free. A run is charged nothing at all, not even the start, when PrizePicks refused it, showed a browser check page, listed no lines, or when it was stopped before reading any line (a league PrizePicks does not have, an unknown odds type, monitoring memory that could not be read). A run whose maximum total charge is below the start price returns no line and is not charged; the same applies when the maximum covers the start but not one line on top of it. Filters that simply match nothing do not make a run free - the board was read, so the $0.04 start applies.

The whole board (9,455 lines) costs about $0.99 per run; one league such as NBA (193 lines) about $0.06. In monitoring mode only the lines that changed are charged; there is no separate per-check fee. A run where nothing moved therefore costs $0.04 and returns one free row saying so. Every run is a start, so a schedule every 15 minutes is about 2,880 runs a month - decide the schedule with that in mind, and set the run's maximum total charge if you want a hard ceiling.
