## About DFB-Pokal odds

Germany's national cup: 64 clubs, single-match knockout rounds and a final in Berlin.

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.

## FAQ

### Which bookmakers have DFB-Pokal odds in the API?

Bet365, Betfair Exchange, Paddy Power and BetMGM UK price the DFB-Pokal, all in the same JSON schema. Pinnacle doesn't list it. Each book is its own endpoint: swap the bookmaker slug in the URL.

### What is the DFB-Pokal league id?

Each bookmaker has its own id, because books name and group leagues differently. Bet365: lg_11964, Betfair Exchange: lg_59347, Paddy Power: lg_30279, BetMGM UK: lg_28454. You can also find it with GET /v1/{bookmaker}/leagues?search=dfb-pokal.

### How do I get DFB-Pokal odds as JSON?

List the league's matches with GET /v1/bet365/events?league_id=lg_11964, 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 DFB-Pokal 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.

### Can I try the DFB-Pokal 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.
