Pinnacle alternate lines via API

Answer: on Builder and Pro, /v1/odds and the WebSocket return Pinnacle's alternate spreads and totals as extra markets with alternate: true and main: false, each with its own line, prices, margin and maxStake. Free and Hobby are main markets only. Leave main unset to get the whole ladder; pass main=true when you only want the main line.

Request#

curl -s "https://pinnfeed.io/v1/odds?sport=basketball&market=spread,total&limit=20" \
  -H "x-api-key: ps_live_your_key"

Group the ladder by event#

import os, requests
from collections import defaultdict

r = requests.get("https://pinnfeed.io/v1/odds",
    params={"sport": "basketball", "market": "total", "limit": 20},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["PINNFEED_KEY"]}, timeout=10)
for e in r.json()["events"]:
    ladder = defaultdict(dict)
    for m in e["markets"]:
        if m["period"] != 0:
            continue                       # full game only
        for o in m["outcomes"]:
            ladder[m["line"]][o["name"]] = o["decimal"]
        ladder[m["line"]]["main"] = m["main"]
    print(e["home"], "v", e["away"])
    for line in sorted(ladder):
        print("  ", line, ladder[line])

Fields#

Main-line only workflows: main line filter.

Alternate lines need Builder (€99/mo) or Pro. 3-day trial; a card is required and it is charged after day 3 unless you cancel. Free and Hobby: main markets only.

Questions people ask#

Are alt lines pushed on the WebSocket?#

Yes, on Builder and Pro unless you subscribe with "main":true.

Does every event have alternate lines?#

No. Only what Pinnacle offers for that event; many smaller events only have the main line.

Is maxStake lower on alt lines?#

It can be; read maxStake per market instead of assuming.
