Refresh Pinnacle odds in Google Sheets on a timer

Updated 9 November 2026 · PinnFeed · 1 min read

Answer: Use Apps Script UrlFetchApp against GET /v1/odds, then install a time-driven trigger (every 15 minutes). Full board script: Google Sheets guide. Free plan is enough (30 s delay, 1,000 req/day).

Trigger-only snippet#

const KEY = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty("PINNFEED_KEY");
const SPORT = "soccer";

function refreshOdds() {
  const url = "https://pinnfeed.io/v1/odds"
    + "?sport=" + encodeURIComponent(SPORT)
    + "&market=moneyline&main=true&limit=30";
  const res = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, {
    headers: { "x-api-key": KEY, accept: "application/json" },
    muteHttpExceptions: true,
  });
  if (res.getResponseCode() !== 200) throw new Error(res.getContentText());
  const events = JSON.parse(res.getContentText()).events || [];
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Odds");
  const rows = [["home", "away", "home_dec", "away_dec", "fair_home", "updated"]];
  for (const ev of events) {
    const m = (ev.markets || []).find((x) => x.type === "moneyline");
    if (!m) continue;
    const by = Object.fromEntries((m.outcomes || []).map((o) => [o.name, o]));
    rows.push([
      ev.home, ev.away,
      by.home?.decimal, by.away?.decimal, by.home?.fair,
      new Date().toISOString(),
    ]);
  }
  sheet.clearContents();
  sheet.getRange(1, 1, rows.length, rows[0].length).setValues(rows);
}

/** Run once from the editor to install the 15-minute trigger. */
function installTrigger() {
  ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers().forEach((t) => ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(t));
  ScriptApp.newTrigger("refreshOdds").timeBased().everyMinutes(15).create();
}

Store the key in Project settings → Script properties, never in the sheet cells. For Excel instead, see Power Query. Live push still needs Builder (€99/mo). Paid plans: 3-day trial; a card is required and it is charged after day 3 unless you cancel. Educational content for adults (18+).

Questions people ask#

Will 15-minute refreshes burn the Free quota?#

96 calls/day if the trigger fires alone — under the Free 1,000/day cap. Add more sports carefully.

Can IMPORTDATA do this?#

IMPORTDATA cannot send x-api-key. Use Apps Script (this page) or the IMPORTDATA answer only with a carefully designed public proxy you control — we do not provide one.
