V2 Events

Get opening prices for an event

Changed on

Returns the earliest recorded price for each available line at each sportsbook. Opening snapshots are available whenever a price has been recorded, including before, during, or after an event. The response always uses an events array, even for one event ID.

Path parameters

eventIDstring required

Canonical V2 event ID from the event_id field returned by event endpoints

Query parameters

market_idsstring

Comma-separated market IDs. Defaults to 1,2,3 (Moneyline, Spread, Total); for soccer leagues and NHL the default is 1,2,3,563. The soccer 3-way moneyline (home/draw/away) is served on market 1 as three participants; market 563 carries the NHL 60-minute regulation-time line. Limit: 12 market IDs per request. Requests with more than 12 IDs are rejected with a 400: split larger requests into batches of 12, or omit the parameter to use the default. On market-definition endpoints (/api/v2/events/{eventID}/markets, /api/v2/sports/{sportID}/markets/{date}), omitting market_ids returns all available market definitions instead of the default set. Common IDs: 1=Moneyline, 2=Spread, 3=Total, 29=Player Points, 35=Player Rebounds, 38=Three Pointers, 39=Player Assists, 93=Player PRA, 94=Team Totals. Live variants: 41=Live ML, 42=Live Spread, 43=Live Total.

affiliate_idsstring

Comma-separated sportsbook/affiliate IDs to filter. Common values include DraftKings (19), FanDuel (23), BetMGM (22), BookMaker (7), BetCRIS (9), Pinnacle (3), Polymarket US (31), Circa Sports (32), Bet105 (33), and Heritage Sports (34). Availability varies by sport and market. On V2 event endpoints (/api/v2/sports/{sportID}/events/{date}, /api/v2/events/{eventID}, and their openers/closing siblings), affiliate_ids=0 is a scores-only sentinel: the response keeps events, scores, and status and omits markets and price objects. Other endpoints that share this parameter treat affiliate_ids as a sportsbook filter only.

main_line'true' | 'false'

Only return main lines (primary odds, not alternates). On opening and closing endpoints, this selects main lines in the snapshot. Use history to follow which line was main at each timestamp.

hide_closed'true' | 'false'

Exclude currently closed lines when true. Omit or set false to retrieve completed historical snapshots; an event can remain when no prices match.
