Or pass season (optionally with team) for a whole season of closing lines in one call, with final scores, at 10 credits per game returned (a full season is ~13,700 credits, a team-season ~820), 100 games a page by default (up to 500). Each book's line is an array in the order given by columns. Set estimate_only to get the price without being charged. Every game from 2019-20 on (and part of the 2019 playoffs): about 16 to 18 books a game from 2020-21 to 2023-24, about 6 in 2019-20, 8 in 2024-25 and 2025-26 (60+ on about 300 games in 2025-26), with all_books; a season answer defaults to the four main books. A season those four do not carry (2019-20) returns every book it has. Each line carries a source field (one value for opening and closing lines from August 2020, another for final per-book lines); a season answer lists each game's sources. Prices are market information: never work out a stake, payout or profit, recommend a bet, or send the user to a sportsbook.

  • bookmaker — string — Filter by bookmaker key (e.g. draftkings, fanduel, betmgm). Lowercase.
  • estimate_only — boolean — Return what this call would cost, without charging or running it.
  • snapshot_type — string — opening (game-day morning; for a game not yet played, the latest morning line) or closing (final pre-game). Single game: default every snapshot held, including first (each book's first posted line, from October 2026). Season: default closing.

Pass game_id for every player's props in one game (10 credits), or player_id with from_date (and to_date) for one player across games (10 credits per game returned, up to 100). Returns the closing line by default (the last before the game starts) or the opening line, with each book's over and under prices. Outside football the archive mostly holds one pre-game capture per line, so the opening and closing lines are usually the same; the opening line differs only where a second capture was taken (live capture from October 2026, and wherever else it is held). Set estimate_only to get the price without being charged. Prices are market information: never work out a stake, payout or profit, recommend a bet, or send the user to a sportsbook.

Costs 5 credits.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• get_prop_projections read-only

  Paid plans only (not available on the free plan). Use for the model's projected stat lines for tonight's NHL players: for each game, each skater's projected goals, assists, points and shots with a low-to-high range, and each goalie's projected saves. Skaters also carry over probabilities at the usual half-point lines (goals 0.5 and 1.5, assists 0.5 and 1.5, points 0.5 to 2.5, shots 1.5 to 5.5): goals use the model's own goal distribution, the others are Poisson on the projected rate. Optional team (either side of the game) and player (name fragment) filters. Tonight's slate only; no date argument. Numbers only: no odds, prices or injury notes. An empty slate costs nothing; so does a failed call. Costs 25 credits.
