If you were building a Sportsbook...

[Alex Ports]

If you were building a Sportsbook, what API would you suggest integrating?

Would like live betting & props too if there's anything out there that offers this!

Thank you

This is something only those who own sportsbook, sportsbook directory or anything that relates in monitoring and using sports booking services can only answer. Simple words, business owners as this api probably have charges monthly, fix, or whatever.
I hope you can get a detailed or expected answers.

Yes I'm happy to pay for it. I have found a few solutions online (Betsapi and The-odd-checker) & but I am curious if anyone has a recommendation for something better.

I think to find the API for sports events and bookmakers some praise the iSports API as it covers the full range of sports data in more than 900 different international and national competitions, cups and leagues in all major football federations around the world. There are also free APIs from Betfair, Matchbook and Pinnacle that allow you to provide odds and place bets.

Thank you for the response! I will check these out.

live betting would be cool. but the odds will drastically change while the game is happening. i have not seen like this in crypto but sure this will be fun when you decide to bet before the game start and when you see you are losing you bet again for the other team. the fun part is when the result is draw.

i have no idea actually but this is what you are looking for?

Live betting has exist already in major sports bookies.

Not sure what you are looking for as far as API, but maybe you can check this out: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api.php

I'm not affiliate or anything that relates to me with that site, so just be careful and just everything before using them.

Google search will bring up thousands of this kind of sites to chose. With the keyword sportsbook api providers I got following results on the first page.

Not many people can answer this one or can give good suggestions but I would also search in Google like what BitcoinGirl.Club and compare it until I found what I was looking for. Live betting did already exist and I also tried it several times but I am not a big fan of live betting. As I have said, it is much better if you compare each site on which API is best to use and what not to use. Just be careful and do check when using it.

If you are building a casino, then you should already know what you want, and what new and old ideas to implement, there is no way a pure gambler will know what API to integrate, I bet some don't even know what API is.
So inline with what the first user who commented said, which i believe some other user have also said, only those who have the technical knowledge of how casinos work can really provide a satisfying answer to queries like this, on the other hand, BitcoinGirl has also reminded of Google, which is a great source of information like this..
And personally, I also think YouTube can be a good source of information like this too.
Good luck and I hope you find the right information you are looking for.

I think what Sportsbet.io is using will be a good one but I don't know if what's the name of it since I'm not that technical to know the details for that. Live betting will be a good addition tbh since people are fan of it these days. Research more and you'll surely find what you want in the end, there are plenty of them to use for.

aside from searching over the net, much better if he can ask one or two reputable bookies and learn about their API providers. however, this step may not be possible as bookies won't be that much welcoming to this kind of question. also, why not check for the reviews out there but of course, it would take time before you can come up which one is the best in the market?
live betting indeed is not a new concept, he can check bookies how they are doing with this feature on their site.

Well, there are quite a few APIs out there and that is a bit of your own personal tastes and the skills of the team or individual that is going to produce the site and even a question of good marketing integration for search engines. My first instinct when developing a full new model is to go for a very lean development that can deliver a basic product to the marketing at minimal costs.

For bitcoin, find out what Betcoin uses for sportsbooks since they have the most markets pre-match and live. Use Nitrobetting's for horse racing since they are way ahead of the other books with horse racing. There are a lot of crypto casinos so no preference with casinos.

Sportsbet uses Betradar's API afaik since the other gambling sites are also using the same provider for their sportsbook side and you'd notice the similarities when observing their live scores side by side. Their API is good enough for sports overall but they're subpar on the esports side since you wouldn't see much live score information unlike with other sites like bet365.

[trapcoder666]

The main provider that my clients usually opt for are Betradar's API as it's sorta like a 1 stop solution. There also a lot of other providers out there but since it's live and if you want to prevent in-play hiccups, best to use those whom are already excelling in the market. Bet365 is using their own API if im not mistaken.

[M1cha3lM]

Player Props are a massive thing that I hope all crypto casinos start to look further into.

Some have got player props already however are quite limited in comparison to rival landbased casino sportsbooks.

Also making sure same game parlays are available is another big call, that would be positively received by a wide audience.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Bet365 is using their own API if im not mistaken.

They are huge in the industry and can afford to build their own system. But for a new sportsbook there are no way they can afford it. The amount of human resources the data providers needs, is unimaginable. For new sportsbooks starting with third party API is the best solution. Stake is big but I doubt they still have their own API.

I landed on this website and saw the other list they've made for the gambling APIs and what the article listed is 140 APIs about gambling.

So aside from the popular ones, OP will have a lot of choices and can read most of their details from the sources that's attached to that article link.
