CLI Usage

OddsHarvester has two main commands: upcoming and historic. They share most options, with a few command-specific ones.

oddsharvester upcoming

Scrape odds for upcoming matches — by date, by league, or by specific match URL.

# By date
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20250301 -m 1x2 --headless

# By league (scrapes all upcoming matches for that league)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -l england-premier-league -m 1x2,btts --headless

# Multiple leagues
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -l england-premier-league,spain-laliga -m 1x2 --headless

# Specific match URLs
oddsharvester upcoming -s football --match-link "https://www.oddsportal.com/football/..." -m 1x2

# Preview mode (faster — average odds only, no individual bookmakers)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20250301 -m over_under --preview-only --headless

oddsharvester historic

Scrape historical odds and results for past seasons.

# Single league & season
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2022-2023 -m 1x2 --headless

# Current season
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season current -m 1x2 --headless

# Limit pagination
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2022-2023 -m 1x2 --max-pages 3 --headless

# Output as CSV
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2024-2025 -m 1x2 -f csv -o premier_league_odds --headless

CLI Options Reference

Core Options

Option	Short	Description	Default
--sport	-s	Sport to scrape (football, tennis, basketball, etc.)	required
--date	-d	Target date in YYYYMMDD format	—
--league	-l	Comma-separated league slugs (e.g. england-premier-league)	—
--market	-m	Comma-separated markets (e.g. 1x2,btts)	—
--match-link		Specific match URL (repeatable). Overrides --sport, --date, --league	—

upcoming only: --date is required unless --league or --match-link is provided. --date and --league can be combined to filter the league's upcoming matches down to a specific calendar day. When combining both, the reference timezone for resolving the date is --timezone if provided, otherwise UTC.

historic only:

Option	Description	Default
--season	Season: YYYY, YYYY-YYYY, or current	required
--max-pages	Max number of result pages to scrape	unlimited

Output Options

Option	Short	Description	Default
--storage		local or remote (S3)	local
--format	-f	json or csv	json
--output	-o	Output file path	scraped_data
--append		Append to the output file instead of overwriting it (--no-append to opt out explicitly)	--no-append

Browser & Scraping Options

Option	Short	Description	Default
--headless		Run browser in headless mode	False
--concurrency	-c	Concurrent scraping tasks	3
--request-delay		Delay (sec) between match requests	1.0
--user-agent		Custom browser user agent	—
--locale		Browser locale (e.g. fr-BE)	—
--timezone		Browser timezone (e.g. Europe/Brussels)	—
--base-url		Scrape a regional OddsPortal mirror instead of www.oddsportal.com (e.g. https://www.centroquote.it). Page structure is identical; only the domain changes. Regional mirrors may expose a different/larger set of bookmakers. Recommended: pair with --locale/--timezone matching the region. Env var: OH_BASE_URL.	—

Proxy Options

Option	Description
--proxy-url	Proxy URL (http://... or socks5://...). Repeatable — pass it multiple times to rotate per-match scraping round-robin across proxies. Each URL may embed credentials (scheme://user:pass@host:port).
--proxy-user	Proxy username. Applies only when a single --proxy-url without embedded credentials is given; ignored (with a warning) if multiple proxies are passed.
--proxy-pass	Proxy password. Same single-proxy restriction as --proxy-user.

Tip: For best results, match --locale and --timezone to your proxy's region.

Multi-proxy example — spread scraping across three proxies with embedded credentials:

oddsharvester historic --sport football --leagues england-premier-league --season 2013-2014 \
  --markets 1x2 --concurrency 6 \
  --proxy-url http://user:[e-mail]:8000 \
  --proxy-url http://user:[e-mail]:8000 \
  --proxy-url http://user:[e-mail]:8000

Matches are dispatched round-robin across the proxies; a proxy that fails 3 times in a row (navigation/rate-limit errors) is dropped from rotation and the run continues on the survivors.

Advanced Options

Option	Description	Default
--target-bookmaker	Filter odds for a specific bookmaker	—
--odds-history	Include historical odds movement per match	False
--odds-format	Odds display format	Decimal Odds
--preview-only	Fast mode — average odds only, no bookmaker details	False
--bookies-filter	Bookmaker filter: all, classic, or crypto	all
--period	Match period (sport-specific: full-time, halves, etc.)	sport default

Preview Mode vs Full Mode

Aspect	Full Mode	Preview Mode
Speed	Slower (interactive)	Faster (passive)
Data	All submarkets + bookmakers	Visible submarkets + avg odds
Bookmakers	Individual bookmaker odds	Average odds only
Odds History	Available	Not available
Structure	By bookmaker	By submarket (avg odds)

Preview mode (--preview-only) is useful for quick exploration, testing data format, or light monitoring with reduced resource usage.
