odds-api.io alternative for a Pinnacle-only WebSocket
odds-api.io is a solid multi-bookmaker API with a WebSocket option. Its WebSocket costs the plan price again, so the entry WebSocket plan, Solo (2 bookmakers) + WebSocket, is £98 a month (about €117). If Pinnacle is the book you need, PinnFeed Builder streams it for €99 a month with no-vig fair odds and closing lines included.
