An open-source betting bot on Pinnacle odds (educational)

Updated 10 November 2026 · PinnFeed · 2 min read

Answer: you can build an open-source, odds-only bot against the public PinnFeed API: ingest Pinnacle prices, keep local state, flag signals, and stop before execution. PinnFeed is data only — it does not place bets. Publish your detector if you want; do not redistribute the raw feed (acceptable use). This page is educational for adults (18+). It is not an auto-wager cookbook and it does not promise profit.

A public architecture (data only)#

Subscribe to Pinnacle deltas at wss://pinnfeed.io/v1/stream (Builder) or poll /v1/odds.
Apply snapshot then delta frames into a map keyed by market id; drop on remove (snapshot vs delta).
Signal on documented fields: fair / fairProb, margin, and a maxStake floor around 100 so thin limits do not look like a trade.
Alert (log, Telegram, Discord). Execution, if any, happens on a licensed book's site and is subject to local law, limits and account risk. Do not automate bet placement from this pattern.

# Educational screen — does not place bets.
FLOOR = 100  # maxStake filter, around 100
def flag(fair, other_decimal, max_stake):
    if not fair or (max_stake or 0) < FLOOR:
        return False
    return other_decimal > fair  # add your own commission cushion

The other book's price, if you compare one, must come from a source that documents it — not from PinnFeed. Worked siblings: betting bot architecture, arbitrage bot, WebSocket Python example, Cursor betting bot.

What “open source” does not mean here#

A licence to reshare PinnFeed's raw stream
A guaranteed edge or a tipster feed
An official Pinnacle bot — official public API access has been closed since 23 July 2025 (README, opened 10 November 2026)

Live + prematch push and closings need Builder (€99/mo, or €990/yr ≈ €82.50/mo) or Pro. Hobby (€29/mo) is real-time REST only.

Try it#

Start a 3-day Builder trial (€99/mo, VAT incl. where applicable) or get a free delayed REST key. Paid plans: 3-day trial; a card is required and it is charged after day 3 unless you cancel. Pricing.

Educational content for adults (18+). No tips, no guaranteed profit, no auto-wagering.

Questions people ask#

Does PinnFeed place the bets?#

No. It is an odds API. Any wager is between you and a licensed book, where that is legal.

Can I publish my bot's source?#

Yes, as a detector or research tool. Do not ship API keys, and do not republish the raw feed.

Do I need the WebSocket?#

For live signals, push is the usual choice because a poller only sees the change on the next request (on average half an interval late: arithmetic, not a vendor test). Builder (€99/mo) is the WebSocket plan.
