Pinnacle's real-time odds

Fri Apr 19, 2019 12:52 am

Hi all,

Now that the Pinnacle's API is gone for the general public, what's the best option to get their real time odds (at an affordable price)?

Thanks!

Lucky you. I don't want to bring you bad news but Pinnacle is moving toward restricting the API access - you can find other posts here discussing the change. So, right now I'm looking for a good alternative. As far as I can see, most websites publish Pinnacle's odds with a delay. I would like to avoid that delay, especially when a new market has just opened.

The API is there to give them more business and they will ban you if you just fetch the odds without betting.

I'm not too sure about that. Based on other discussions, this seems to be an initial move against sharp bettors. Regardless, are you aware of any good alternatives to get real time odds?

Lots of odds comparison websites include pinny, but of course there will be a delay.
Then there are agents who aggregate odds from asians. I don't know about their delays.
Then there are expensive real time pricefeeds for bookies.
The fastest odds feed however will of course come from pinnacle directly.

You can still use their API. You just need to use your Pinnacle account username and password to be able to call the API.

As you can read on https://github.com/pinnacleapi/pinnacle ... umentation:

Please note that in order to access Pinnacle API, you must have a funded account.

Another point of interest can be found in their Fair Use Policy at https://github.com/pinnacleapi/pinnacle ... ePolicy.md:

The API is provided to players to facilitate wagering and may not be used for data gathering, scraping or for any other purpose. The API usage must be proportionate to wagering activities as determined on a case-by-case basis by Pinnacle.
