Usage

Please refer to documentation for detailed instructions for The Odds-Api.

To start using the wrapper import and initialize the OddsApiClient from the package.

from oddsapi import OddsApiClient

client = OddsApiClient(api_key='YOUR KEY')
response = client.retrieve_sports()

The response is a custom object that stores the data in nested namespaces and dictionary format.

response.data[0]

>>> Collection(active=True, 
        details='US College Football', 
        group='American Football', 
        has_outrights=False, 
        key='americanfootball_ncaaf', 
        title='NCAAF')

#alternatively
response.json['data'][0]
>>> {'key': 'americanfootball_ncaaf', 
        'active': True, 
        'group': 'American Football', 
        'details': 'US College Football', 
        'title': 'NCAAF', 
        'has_outrights': False}

response.rate_info
>>> {'requests_remaining': '479', 'requests_used': '21'}

The client can also be configured to work with asyncio.

from asyncio import gather

client.aio = True
cors = [client.retrieve_odds(
    sport_key=sport.key,
    region='us',
    mkt='spreads'
) for sport in response.data[:4]] 
responses = client.loop.run_until_complete(gather(*cors))

Keep in mind that rate_info will not be recorded in order.
