FanDuel game lines and markets

Read the whole book for a game, game lines first, with the hold and a fair price for every selection.

Every market

Game, half, quarter and period lines, alternates and ladders, first scorer, team props and specials, as FanDuel lists them.

Fair prices

Where outcomes exclude each other, each selection carries a no-vig fair probability and the market its hold.

Futures

Champions, awards and win totals per league, on their own endpoint.

Code

curl "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/markets?league=NBA&market_type=spread&limit=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FANDUEL_API_KEY"

import os, requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://fanduelapi.com/api/v1/markets",
    params={"league": "NBA", "market_type": "spread", "limit": "5"},
    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.

• Line historyReplay a prop or a game line from the first time it was seen to now, move by move./api/v1/props/{id}/history
• CoverageKnow what the feed holds before you build on it, and show users exactly how fresh it is./api/v1/coverage
