Production-grade alternative sports data feed — odds, events, futures, settlement for 30 leagues

Project description

AltSportsData SDK

PyPI Python 3.8+

Production-grade alternative sports data feed — odds, events, futures, settlement for 30 leagues.

Original model-generated probabilities for sports nobody else can price. Built for prediction markets, DFS platforms, and sportsbooks.

pip install altsportsdata

Quick Start

from altsportsdata import AltSportsData

client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key")

# What events are coming up?
events = client.list_events(status="upcoming")
for event in events:
    print(f"{event.name}{event.startDate}")
Indianapolis — 2026-03-07T12:00:00.000Z
Pipe Masters — 2026-12-09T04:00:00.000Z
Australian Grand Prix — 2026-03-06T00:00:00.000Z
...
# Who's going to win?
odds = client.get_moneylines(events[0].id)
for player in odds:
    print(f"{player.name}: {player.odds:.2f}  ({player.probability:.1f}%)")
Eli Tomac: 2.02  (49.4%)
Hunter Lawrence: 2.66  (37.6%)
Ken Roczen: 4.26  (23.5%)
Cooper Webb: 6.84  (14.6%)
Joey Savatgy: 16.20  (6.2%)

That's it. Three lines to see every upcoming event. Three more to see who's favored.

Clean Tables

Every response prints as a clean table automatically:

print(events)     # table of all events
print(odds)       # table of all odds

Instant DataFrame (like Alpaca's bars.df)

df = events.df                          # pandas DataFrame
df = odds.df                            # pandas DataFrame
df.to_csv("odds.csv")                   # export

# Filter and analyze
df[df["league"] == "wsl"].head()

For Prediction Markets (Kalshi, Polymarket)

Probabilities as 0–1, ready for contract creation.

client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key", odds_format="probability")
wsl = client.get_league("wsl")

odds = wsl.get_market_probabilities(event_id)
for player in odds:
    print(f"{player.name}: {player.probability}")
Eli Tomac: 0.4942
Hunter Lawrence: 0.3757
Ken Roczen: 0.2349
Cooper Webb: 0.1462
# DataFrame — ready for contract pricing
df = odds.df
df[["athlete", "probability", "outcome_id"]]

Settlement for Contract Resolution

result = client.get_settlement(event_id)
for name, mkt in result["markets"].items():
    for o in mkt.get("winners", []):
        print(f"  ✅ {o['athlete']} — settled at {result['settled_at']}")

For DFS Platforms (PrizePicks, Underdog)

client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key")

# Head-to-head matchups — ready for pick'em
matchups = client.get_matchups(event_id)
for m in matchups:
    print(f"{m.player1} ({m.odds1:.2f})  vs  {m.player2} ({m.odds2:.2f})")
Cooper Webb (2.31)  vs  Ken Roczen (1.57)
Eli Tomac (1.66)  vs  Hunter Lawrence (2.13)
# Or get a DataFrame
df = matchups.df
df.to_csv("matchups.csv")

For Sportsbooks (DraftKings, Bet365, Stake)

# American odds
client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key", odds_format="american")
odds = client.get_moneylines(event_id)
print(odds)

# Fractional odds (UK books)
client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key", odds_format="fractional")

Odds Format Conversion

Set once on the client — all responses auto-convert:

client = AltSportsData(api_key="key", odds_format="probability")  # Kalshi
client = AltSportsData(api_key="key", odds_format="american")     # DraftKings
client = AltSportsData(api_key="key", odds_format="decimal")      # Stake (default)
client = AltSportsData(api_key="key", odds_format="fractional")   # Bet365

Or convert individual values:

from altsportsdata import convert_odds

convert_odds(2.50, "decimal", "american")     # → 150.0
convert_odds(2.50, "decimal", "probability")  # → 0.4
convert_odds(150, "american", "decimal")      # → 2.5
convert_odds("3/2", "fractional", "probability")  # → 0.4

Async Client (Production Infrastructure)

from altsportsdata import AsyncAltSportsData
import asyncio

async def main():
    async with AsyncAltSportsData(api_key="key", odds_format="probability") as client:
        wsl = client.get_league("wsl")
        events = await wsl.list_events(status="upcoming")
        
        # Batch fetch — all events concurrently
        ids = [e.id for e in events[:20]]
        batch = await client.get_odds_batch(ids, "moneyline")
        for eid, odds in batch.items():
            if "error" not in odds:
                print(f"{eid}: {len(odds.get('eventWinner', []))} outcomes")

asyncio.run(main())

Requires: pip install altsportsdata[async]


Enterprise Reliability

Built for production — automatic retry, rate limit handling, request tracing.

client = AltSportsData(
    api_key="key",
    max_retries=3,        # exponential backoff on 429, 5xx
    retry_backoff=0.5,    # base delay in seconds
    timeout=30,           # per-request timeout
)
  • Automatic exponential backoff with jitter on 429/5xx
  • Respects Retry-After headers
  • Request IDs (X-Request-ID) for debugging
  • Thread-safe session management
  • Context manager support: with AltSportsData(...) as client:

Full API Reference

Setup

from altsportsdata import AltSportsData

# General client
client = AltSportsData(api_key="your_key")

# League-scoped — auto-filters everything
wsl = client.get_league("wsl")
f1  = client.get_league("f1")
spr = client.get_league("spr")

# With options
client = AltSportsData(
    api_key="your_key",
    league="wsl",
    odds_format="probability",
    max_retries=3,
)

Leagues & Market Types

leagues = client.list_leagues()
print(leagues)        # clean table
df = leagues.df       # pandas DataFrame

# League details
info = client.get_league_info("f1")
print(f"{info.name}: {info.market_count} markets — {info.market_types}")

# All market types
client.list_market_types()
# → ['eventWinner', 'exactasEvent', 'fastestLap', 'headToHead', ...]

# Market catalog with event counts
for lg in client.get_market_catalog():
    print(f"{lg['league']:12} {lg['name']:30} upcoming={lg['upcoming_events']}")

Events

events = client.list_events(status="upcoming")        # ResultSet with .df
events = client.list_events(status="live")
events = client.list_events(status="completed")
events = client.list_events(status=["live", "upcoming"])

print(events)        # clean table
df = events.df       # pandas DataFrame
events.to_csv("events.csv")

event = client.get_event("event_id")
participants = client.get_participants("event_id")

Markets (one call, prices included)

markets = client.get_markets()                              # upcoming (default)
markets = client.get_markets(status="live")                 # live
markets = client.get_markets(status="completed")            # settled
markets = client.get_markets(status=["live", "upcoming"])   # all active

print(markets)       # clean table
df = markets.df      # pandas DataFrame

Odds (per event) — all return OddsResult with .df

# Sportsbook
odds = client.get_moneylines("event_id")    # event winner
odds = client.get_matchups("event_id")      # head-to-head
odds = client.get_totals("event_id")        # over/under
odds = client.get_exactas("event_id")       # exacta
odds = client.get_podiums("event_id")       # top-3
odds = client.get_heat_winners("event_id")  # heat winner
odds = client.get_fastest_lap("event_id")   # fastest lap

# Prediction market
odds = client.get_market_probabilities("event_id")
odds = client.get_podium_probabilities("event_id")
odds = client.get_top_finish_probabilities("event_id", top_n=5)

# DFS
odds = client.get_player_props("event_id")
odds = client.get_player_matchups("event_id")
odds = client.get_player_totals("event_id", stat="points")

# Generic — any market by name or alias
odds = client.get_odds("event_id", "moneyline")

# Every OddsResult has .df
print(odds)          # clean table
df = odds.df         # pandas DataFrame
odds.to_csv("odds.csv")

Batch Operations

# Fetch odds for many events in parallel
events = client.list_events(league="spr", status="upcoming")
ids = [e.id for e in events]
batch = client.get_odds_batch(ids, "moneyline", max_concurrent=5)

Settlement

result = client.get_settlement("event_id")
# → {event_id, event_name, league, status, settled_at,
#    markets: {eventWinner: {outcomes, winners}, headToHead: {...}}}

Live Polling

# Generator-based live odds feed
for update in client.poll_odds(event_id, "moneyline", interval=5, max_polls=60):
    print(update)

Futures

client.list_futures()
client.get_futures(tour="tour_id", type="winner")

Odds Conversion (Static)

AltSportsData.convert(2.50, "decimal", "american")     # → 150.0
AltSportsData.convert(2.50, "decimal", "probability")  # → 0.4
