Create a free account at https://fanduelapi.com/sign-up?ref=ai-claudebot and create an API key in the dashboard (https://fanduelapi.com/dashboard/keys). Keys start with `fd_`. Store it as `FANDUEL_API_KEY`. 2. Make a first call with curl: ```bash curl "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/props?sport=nba&stat=points&limit=5" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FANDUEL_API_KEY" ``` 3. Or with Python (`pip install requests`): ```python import os import time from datetime import datetime, timezone import requests BASE = "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1" SESSION = requests.Session() SESSION.headers["Authorization"] = f"Bearer {os.environ['FANDUEL_API_KEY']}" def get(path, **params): """GET one endpoint and return its data list, waiting out rate limits.""" while True: r = SESSION.get(f"{BASE}{path}", params=params, timeout=10) if r.status_code == 429: time.sleep(int(r.headers.get("Retry-After", "5"))) continue r.raise_for_status() return r.json()["data"] def price(odds): """American odds as text. A suspended market can come back with no price.""" return "off" if odds is None else f"{odds:+d}" props = get("/props", sport="nba", stat="points") for p in props: print(f"{p['player']:<26} {str(p['line']):>5} over {price(p['over_american']):>5} under {price(p['under_american']):>5}") ``` 4. Stay current with `GET /api/v1/changes?since=` instead of re-reading every prop.

The same method is behind the [odds API](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-odds-api)'s fair prices on game lines, and the free no-vig calculator does it for any set of prices. Season-long price moves are kept like prop moves; see [historical data](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-historical-data) for exports, and [real-time data](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-api-real-time) for how fresh a read is. ## Questions ## Related - [Odds API FanDuel Sportsbook odds as JSON: player props, moneylines, spreads, totals and futures in American and decimal odds, with fair prices and move history.](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-odds-api) - [Historical data Where FanDuel historical odds data comes from here: per-prop move history, date-range exports, the training set and graded results, and how far back each goes.](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-historical-data) - [Python example Working Python code for FanDuel Sportsbook player props: authenticate with a key, list props, read a prop's move history and poll for changes.](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-api-python) - [Real-time data How fresh FanDuel odds are on each plan, the meta fields every response carries about it, and which delivery to use when seconds matter.](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-api-real-time) - [Pricing Free on delayed data, then real time from the Developer plan.](https://fanduelapi.com/pricing) ## Make your first call in a few minutes Sign up, create a key in the dashboard, and send it as a Bearer token.
