FanDuel API coverage by league

Know what the feed holds before you build on it, and show users exactly how fresh it is.

Per league

Games in the window, games in play, open markets and props, and the last successful read.

Freshness

Every response's meta says source_status (ok, delayed, stale or down), observed_at and source_age_seconds.

Six leagues

NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, college basketball and college football, as FanDuel lists them.

What it returns now

Endpoint and parameters

Code

curl "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/coverage" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FANDUEL_API_KEY"

import os, requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/coverage",
    params={},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['FANDUEL_API_KEY']}"},
)
r.raise_for_status()
body = r.json()
print(body["meta"])          # plan, delay_seconds, as_of, source_status
for row in body["data"][:5]:
    print(row)

Keys look like fd_.... Keep one in the FANDUEL_API_KEY environment variable on your server, never in browser code. Every response's meta says which plan answered, how far behind it is and how fresh the collection is.

Which plans include it

• FreeIncluded, 5 minutes behind
• DeveloperIncluded, real time
• ProductionIncluded, real time
• ScaleIncluded, real time

Read from the plans on the pricing page. Every request counts against the monthly and per-minute allowance; request quotas explains how.
