Sports Betting Odds Scraper: NFL, NBA, MLB & Soccer Lines

Sports betting odds scraper: moneyline, spread, totals and line movement

Pull prematch betting lines for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college and top soccer. One row per game, with every sportsbook's price nested side by side.

Every price carries its opening number, so you get line movement without storing yesterday's run.

$1.00 per 1,000 games on any paid plan, $2.00 on the Free plan. No per run fee.

Read the US market for DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics and bet365. Switch to the UK for up to 20 books, or Brazil for 26.

Why this scraper?

• 🏦 Up to 26 sportsbooks per game, not the two or three you get from scrapers that hit each book directly.
• 📉 Line movement is built in. Every price ships with the opening number and an up/down/unchanged flag.
• 🧮 Vig free fair odds on every complete market, plus the average overround so you can see what the book is holding.
• 💸 Arbitrage detection with stake splits, calculated from the best price on each outcome across all books.
• 🛒 Best price per outcome and how far it beats the market average, which is line shopping done for you.
• 🚫 No proxy, no API key, no browser. That is why it is cheap and why it does not break when a sportsbook tightens its bot rules.
• 🧾 One row is one whole game. Scrapers that bill per bookmaker line charge you 20 to 60 times for the same fixture.
• 🎯 No per run fee, and skipped games are never charged. Fixtures with no published prices are crawled silently and cost you nothing.
• 🌍 Seven odds markets across the US, UK, Brazil and Germany, so you are not stuck with US books.

Leagues and odds markets covered

Leagues. NFL, NCAA Football, CFL, NBA, WNBA, NCAA Basketball, MLB, NHL, MLS, Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, ATP and WTA. Or sweep a whole sport instead of picking leagues.

Odds markets. Each game can be priced from a different country's bookmakers. The market you choose changes which books appear, not which games.

Market	Books	Examples
United States (New Jersey)	5	DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Fanatics, bet365
United Kingdom	up to 20	bet365, William Hill, Betfair, Paddy Power, Ladbrokes, Skybet
Brazil	up to 26	Betano, bet365, Betfair, KTO, Superbet, Betnacional
Germany	7	Betano, Interwetten, Winamax, Oddset, bet365

Colorado, Illinois and New York are also selectable for US runs. New Jersey is the default because it carries the widest book list.

How much does Sports Betting Odds Scraper cost?

You pay per game delivered. Every paid Apify plan pays $1.00 per 1,000 games, and the Free plan pays $2.00 per 1,000. There is no per run fee, so a run costs exactly what it delivers.

One row is one whole game with every bookmaker nested inside it. Scrapers that bill per bookmaker line charge you 20 to 60 times for that same game, so compare on games, not rows.

The Free plan's $5 of monthly credit covers roughly 2,500 games. The $29/month Starter plan covers about 29,000 games a month.

Games that have no published odds are skipped and never billed, so a run over an empty slate costs you nothing at all.

}

Each entry in prices is one book's number for one side of one market:

{
  "bookmakerName": "bet365.us",
  "market": "moneyline",
  "side": "home",
  "teamName": "New England Patriots",
  "selection": null,
  "line": null,
  "decimal": 2.5,
  "american": 150,
  "openingDecimal": 1.74,
  "movement": "up",
  "impliedProbability": 0.4,
  "isActive": true
}

How spread and total lines are written

On a spread, each side carries its own number: the home team at +1.5 and the away team at -1.5 are the two halves of one market. Totals work the same way, with selection set to OVER or UNDER on a shared line.

So every entry that belongs to a market also carries marketLine, which is identical on both sides. Group by marketLine to put a market back together; read line to see the number you would actually be betting.

{ "market": "spread", "side": "home", "teamName": "New England Patriots", "line": "1.5",  "marketLine": "1.5", "decimal": 2.1,  "american": 110,  "bookmakerName": "Fanatics", "edgeVsAveragePct": 0,    "bookCount": 2 }
{ "market": "spread", "side": "away", "teamName": "Indianapolis Colts",   "line": "-1.5", "marketLine": "1.5", "decimal": 1.74, "american": -135, "bookmakerName": "Fanatics", "edgeVsAveragePct": 0.87, "bookCount": 2 }

That is bestPrices: the top number available on each side, which book is offering it, and how far it beats the average of every book pricing that same side.

Each entry in fairLines is the same market with the bookmaker margin stripped out. overround is what the average book is holding, so 1.043 means 4.3%:

{
  "market": "moneyline",
  "line": null,
  "overround": 1.04332,
  "outcomes": [
    { "side": "home", "teamName": "New England Patriots", "line": null, "fairProbability": 0.391377, "fairDecimal": 2.5551 },
    { "side": "away", "teamName": "Indianapolis Colts",   "line": null, "fairProbability": 0.608623, "fairDecimal": 1.6431 }
  ]
}

arbitrage gives the legs of any guaranteed profit spot, each with the line to take, the book offering it, and the share of your stake it should get.

Use cases

• 📉 Line movement tracking. Every price ships with its opening number, so steam moves show up on the first run.
• 🛒 Line shopping. Compare up to 26 books on one game and take the best number on each side.
• 💸 Arbitrage scanning. Surface guaranteed profit spots across books, with the stake split already worked out.
• 🧮 Model building and backtesting. Vig free fair probabilities are a cleaner training target than raw prices.
• 🎯 Closing line value. Prices freeze at kickoff, so the last prematch number is the closing line.
• 📰 Odds widgets and previews. Feed a "tonight's lines" table on a sports content site.
• 🤖 Alert bots. Schedule a run every few minutes and push moves into Slack or Discord.
• 📊 Market efficiency research. Compare overround across books, leagues and countries.

Limitations

• Prematch only. Prices freeze once a game goes in play, so this is not a live in-play odds feed.
• No player props or futures. The source carries game lines only: moneyline, spread, total and related markets.
• 9 day window. You can reach 7 days back through tomorrow. There is no historical archive.
• Older finished games lose their odds. Prices stay available for a while after a game ends, then the source removes them. Scrape before kickoff if you want a guaranteed closing line.
• Fair odds are a consensus, not a sharp line. They average the books present rather than anchoring to a single sharp book.
• Out of season leagues return nothing. Ask for the NBA in July and the run tells you so instead of failing.
