30 Seconds to Your First Odds

from altsportsdata import AltSportsData

wsl = AltSportsData(api_key="sk_live_xxx", league="wsl")

# What's live right now?
events = wsl.list_events(status="live")

# Pull moneylines
odds = wsl.get_moneylines(events[0].id)

# Build a parlay
parlay = wsl.calculate_parlay(events[0].id, picks=["odd_1", "odd_2", "odd_3"])
print(f"Combined odds: {parlay['combinedOdds']}")

Why AltSportsData

Problem	Solution
Alt sports data is fragmented across dozens of sources	One unified API — 31 leagues, standardized schema
Your team wastes weeks integrating each new sport	Minutes to integrate — same SDK, same patterns
No odds available for niche sports your users want	Full market coverage — moneylines, matchups, props, totals, futures, parlays
Existing feeds don't support your platform's format	Sportsbook-native naming — use the terms your team already knows

Sportsbook-Native API

Use the names your trading team already knows. We alias everything.

# These all work — use whatever your team prefers
wsl.get_moneylines("evt_id")       # → eventWinner
wsl.get_matchups("evt_id")         # → headToHead
wsl.get_player_props("evt_id")     # → propBets
wsl.get_totals("evt_id")           # → overUnder
wsl.get_exactas("evt_id", n=3)     # → eventExacta

# Or use API-native names directly
wsl.get_odds("evt_id", "eventWinner")
wsl.get_odds("evt_id", "headToHead")
