--- title: "Get opening prices for an event" method: GET path: "/api/v2/events/{eventID}/openers" tags: ["V2 Events"] --- # Get opening prices for an event `GET /api/v2/events/{eventID}/openers` ## Request - Base URL: `https://therundown.io` - URL: `https://therundown.io/api/v2/events/{eventID}/openers` - Auth: API key in header `X-TheRundown-Key` 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 - `eventID` string, required ## Query parameters - `market_ids` string - `affiliate_ids` string - `main_line` 'true' | 'false' - `hide_closed` 'true' | 'false' ## Response `200` Event with opening prices - EventsV2Response - `meta` EventsSnapshotMeta, nullable - `delta_last_id` union: Positive whole-integer cursor for `/api/v2/markets/delta`. The API may return it as an integer or a numeric string. Use a snapshot value to begin market-delta polling only for known zero-delay access when that snapshot explicitly reports `X-Data-Delay-Seconds: 0`; otherwise use scoped snapshots and never substitute `0`. - integer - string - `events` EventV2[] - `event_id` string: Canonical event identifier string used by V2 endpoints, filters, and delta feeds. - `event_uuid` string: Compatibility identifier retained for older integrations. Do not assume it matches `event_id`. - `sport_id` integer - `event_date` string, date-time - `rotation_number_away` integer - `rotation_number_home` integer - `score` Score - `event_id` string - `event_status` string: Event status. Common values: STATUS_SCHEDULED, STATUS_IN_PROGRESS, STATUS_FINAL, STATUS_POSTPONED, STATUS_CANCELED, STATUS_SUSPENDED, STATUS_DELAYED, STATUS_RAIN_DELAY, STATUS_HALFTIME, STATUS_END_PERIOD, STATUS_END_OF_REGULATION, STATUS_OVERTIME, STATUS_FIRST_HALF, STATUS_SECOND_HALF - `team_id_away` integer: Away team ID. Omitted when zero. - `team_id_home` integer: Home team ID. Omitted when zero. - `score_away` integer - `score_home` integer - `winner_away` integer - `winner_home` integer - `score_away_by_period` integer[]: Away team's per-period scores, not running totals; index `0` is the first period. Overtime periods are appended. Read this array by its own length. Its sum is not guaranteed to equal `score_away`; verify before using it. - `score_home_by_period` integer[]: Home team's per-period scores, not running totals; index `0` is the first period. Overtime periods are appended. Read this array by its own length. Its sum is not guaranteed to equal `score_home`; verify before using it. - `venue_name` string: Arena or stadium name. May be an empty string when unavailable. - `venue_location` string: City and state. May be an empty string when unavailable. - `game_clock` integer - `display_clock` string - `is_clock_running` boolean: Clock-running flag when supplied.

Join on this field rather than name to avoid shared-name collisions. Its meaning depends on `type`: for `TYPE_TEAM` it is the normalized team ID (stable across seasons, matches `event.teams[].team_id`; full record at GET /api/v2/teams/{team_id}); for `TYPE_PLAYER` it is the player ID (full record at GET /api/v2/players/{player_id}); for `TYPE_RESULT` it is a small outcome index (e.g. 0/1 for Over/Under) and is not a team or player resource key. - `type` 'TYPE_TEAM' | 'TYPE_PLAYER' | 'TYPE_RESULT': Kind of participant. Determines what `id` points to (team, player, or result outcome). - `name` string: Display name. Not guaranteed unique across participants: join on `id`, not `name`. - `lines` MarketLinesResponse[] - `id` string - `value` string: Line value. For spreads/totals this is numeric; for some prop and special markets it can be a method, round, threshold, or other display value. When `line_value_is_participant` is true, the participant usually carries the selection. - `selection` string - `handicap` string - `prices` object: Prices keyed by affiliate ID - `live_game_state` LiveGameState: Real-time game-state snapshot embedded on live event payloads. Requires the live game state entitlement (Ultra plan or higher); keys without it never receive this field. Sport-specific blocks (`mlb`, `football`, `basketball`, `hockey`) are present only for the relevant sport. - `event_id` string - `sport_id` integer - `sport` string: Sport slug: `mlb`, `nba`, `nba-summer`, `ncaab`, `nfl`, `ncaaf`, `nhl`, `wnba`, or `soccer` - `period` integer: Current period/inning/quarter number - `half_indicator` string: Half within the period where applicable (e.g. `top`/`bottom` for MLB innings) - `display_clock` string: Clock display string.
