Pinnacle max stake (maxStake) via API

Answer: each market object carries maxStake — the maximum risk stake the upstream accepts on that line (number or null). Higher limits usually mean a more trusted price; steam detectors often ignore moves below a floor (e.g. 100). Field docs: schema.

Same object on WebSocket snapshots/deltas and on REST /v1/odds / /v1/events/{id}.

Filter thin markets#

FLOOR = 100
for m in markets:
    if (m.get("maxStake") or 0) < FLOOR:
        continue
    # evaluate steam / value on this market

Used in the steam guide and the Telegram bot.

Limit drops#

When Pinnacle cuts a price and raises or holds a high maxStake, that combination is often more informative than a shorten on a tiny limit. PinnFeed exposes the fields; you define the rule. There is no separate "limit drop" endpoint — observe maxStake over time on the stream or via /v1/drops rows paired with a follow-up /v1/events/{id} read.

Questions people ask#

Is maxStake the same as Pinnacle's public limit?#

It is the max risk stake carried on the upstream market record we normalize. Treat it as the feed's limit field, not a guarantee of fill at a retail account.
