## Free offer

- Real-time data starts at Developer, $49 a month for 10,000 credits.
- Get a free key: https://fanduelapi.com/sign-up?ref=ai-claudebot

## Quickstart

1. 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=<cursor>` instead of re-reading every prop. Full reference: https://fanduelapi.com/openapi.json and https://fanduelapi.com/llms-full.txt.

## Use it from Claude (MCP)

Claude Code, with your key read from the shell:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user fanduelapi https://fanduelapi.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FANDUEL_API_KEY"
```

Claude on the web or desktop: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste https://fanduelapi.com/api/mcp. Without a key it gives the keyless tools (search_docs, fetch_doc, get_sample_props). Setup for other agents: https://fanduelapi.com/mcp.

## When OddsPapi is the better choice

- You compare FanDuel with many other books, sharp books or exchanges.
- You want historical odds across books on a free key, and 250 requests a month are enough to start.
- You need sports outside the six FanDuel API covers, such as soccer or tennis.

## When FanDuel API is the better choice

- FanDuel is the book you model, and you want every FanDuel player prop as one flat record per player, stat and period.
- You need in-play FanDuel reads at a published self-serve price: Developer is $49 a month.
- You need each line and price move kept as its own entry, with graded results and hit rates.
- You want a cursor change feed, a resumable stream, webhooks on Production, and MCP on every plan.

Start on the free plan and test it against your model: [pricing](https://fanduelapi.com/pricing), the [Python example](https://fanduelapi.com/fanduel-api-python), or [use it from Claude](https://fanduelapi.com/use-with-claude).
