Questions

Before you build.

Plans, markets, books, and IDs for the Bovada odds API.

Does Bovada have an odds API?
TheRundown provides Bovada odds through its sports data API, using affiliate ID 2. This page describes TheRundown access, not an official Bovada developer program.
How do I request Bovada odds?
Choose Starter or above, send your TheRundown API key in the X-TheRundown-Key header, and set affiliate_ids=2 on an events request. Add other affiliate IDs to compare sources in the same response.
Is Bovada included on the free API plan?
No. Free keys cover DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM pre-match game lines with a five-minute delay. Bovada requires Starter or above. You can test the shared response shape on Free.
Which Bovada markets did you verify?
Open NFL, NBA, and NHL moneylines, spreads, totals, and alternate rungs; NFL and NBA first-half lines, player props, and team totals; and NBA player-prop alternates. The rows above list the sampled market IDs and dates. Coverage varies by sport, game, and market.
How do I request Bovada alternate lines?
Omit main_line=true to request all posted rungs. Keep the event, market, participant, signed line value, and affiliate ID together. A different main line at another book remains a different selection.
How do I tell whether a Bovada quote is open?
Use the exact price object: a nonempty closed_at marks a closed quote, while an omitted or empty closed_at means open, including a reopened quote. Do not infer closure from updated_at age. Exclude closed and off-board prices when comparing available quotes.Compare open sportsbook prices in Python →
