TheStatsAPI FAQ
Does TheStatsAPI offer real-time data?▼
No, based on the source information, TheStatsAPI does not currently provide real-time data. It focuses on delivering comprehensive post-match statistics, historical data, and detailed information about matches, players, and teams. However, it offers live endpoints for current data such as competitions, matches, and players, which are updated regularly but are not real-time streaming data feeds for in-play events.
What type of odds data does the new Odds API endpoint provide?▼
The newly launched Odds API endpoint provides comprehensive betting odds data for football matches. It covers popular markets such as 1X2 (Match Result), Both Teams to Score (BTTS), Over/Under goals, Asian Handicap, and Corners. The endpoint supplies opening, current, and closing odds for each match, sourced from four major bookmakers and operators including Pinnacle, Bet365, Betfair Exchange, and Kambi. This data is available for both upcoming fixtures and historical matches, with current coverage across domestic leagues and plans to expand to cup competitions and international tournaments.
