Free Odds APIs: What Each Free Plan Gives You

Free Sports Odds APIs

Want betting odds in your code without paying? These odds APIs have a free plan or a free trial. Free plans are great for learning and small projects. They usually give you fewer books, slower updates or fewer markets.

Plans checked on each provider's own site, last on Oct 29, 2026.

What Free Plans Usually Leave Out

Fewer books. Many free plans cover only a few sportsbooks. Paid plans add the rest.
Slower odds. Free odds are often delayed. That's fine for a spreadsheet, but not for live betting.
Fewer markets. Player props, alternate lines and live odds are often paid only.
Low limits. A rate limit is how often your code can ask for data. Free plans set it low.
Rules on use. Some free plans are for personal use or need a credit line. Read the terms before you build something public.
