    Filter the event catalog by league and start time, then select a game that lists BetRivers.

  3. Request the market board

    Call the snapshot with bookmakers=betrivers and retain lines, selections, prices, and freshness metadata.

    Add other covered US bookmaker keys to the same request where supported and match their normalized rows.

BetRivers API FAQs

Answers about the BetRivers key, college coverage, American odds display, multi-book comparisons, and affiliation.

Is this the official BetRivers API?

No. odds-api is an independent data service that provides normalized BetRivers odds where coverage is available. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by BetRivers, and it does not place bets or access customer accounts.

What bookmaker key should I use for BetRivers?

Use the canonical betrivers key returned by GET /v1/bookmakers. Request a covered event snapshot with bookmakers=betrivers.

Can I retrieve BetRivers college odds?

College football and basketball events can be available, but bookmaker and market presence varies by league, matchup, and time. Verify BetRivers on the specific event before requesting its board.

Can I compare BetRivers with FanDuel and DraftKings?

Yes, when all selected books cover the event. Pass comma-separated bookmaker keys on supported endpoints and compare normalized market, period, line, and selection fields.

Can I show BetRivers prices as American odds?

Yes. Present familiar American prices in your pro and college products while keeping BetRivers markets in the same normalized format used across every covered sportsbook.
