## About Bundesliga odds

Germany's top flight: 18 clubs, 34 matchdays, with a relegation play-off against the 2. Bundesliga's third-placed side.

For every match a book prices you get its whole board: match result, totals, both teams to score, Asian and European handicaps, correct score and, on the books that offer them, corners, cards and player props. Each board carries an `updated_at` timestamp, and the pre-match board stays available after kickoff as the closing line.

Average match-result margins on the matches above: Betfair Exchange 1.1%, Pinnacle 4.5%, Bet365 5.4%, BetMGM UK 6.9%, Paddy Power 7.9%.

## FAQ

### Which bookmakers have Bundesliga odds in the API?

Bet365, Pinnacle, Betfair Exchange, Paddy Power and BetMGM UK price the Bundesliga, all in the same JSON schema. Each book is its own endpoint: swap the bookmaker slug in the URL.

### What is the Bundesliga league id?

Each bookmaker has its own id, because books name and group leagues differently. Bet365: lg_45742, Pinnacle: lg_71147, Betfair Exchange: lg_20083, Paddy Power: lg_14484, BetMGM UK: lg_95566. You can also find it with GET /v1/{bookmaker}/leagues?search=bundesliga.

### How do I get Bundesliga odds as JSON?

List the league's matches with GET /v1/bet365/events?league_id=lg_45742, then call GET /v1/bet365/events/{event_id}/odds for each match. Add ?markets=match_result,total_goals to keep the response small, or leave it out for every market the book prices.

### Are live in-play Bundesliga odds available?

Yes. While a match is in play, GET /v1/{bookmaker}/events/{event_id}/odds/live returns the in-play board. The pre-match board stays available after kickoff, so you can keep the closing line.

### Which bookmaker has the lowest Bundesliga margin?

On the 1 matches in the live table, Pinnacle had the lowest average match-result margin at 4.5%, and Paddy Power the highest at 7.9%. Betfair Exchange runs lower still, but its prices are before commission. The table refreshes every 30 minutes, so these numbers move with the market.

### Can I try the Bundesliga odds API for free?

Yes. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with 10% of the plan's monthly requests at the full rate limit, and every plan includes all bookmakers.
