## Does Paddy Power have a public API?

No. Paddy Power doesn't publish a public odds API or developer program, so developers either build and maintain their own integration or use a data provider. OddsAPI.dev gives you Paddy Power's football odds as documented JSON, in the same schema as four other bookmakers.

|  | Building it yourself | OddsAPI.dev |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Setup | Weeks of build work | API key in minutes |
| Maintenance | Yours, every time something changes | None on your side |
| Data format | Design and normalize your own schema | Normalized JSON, 60+ market keys |
| In-play odds | A second pipeline to build and run | /odds/live endpoint |
| Other bookmakers | Repeat it all for each book | Bet365, Pinnacle, Betfair Exchange, BetMGM UK |
| Cost | Servers, monitoring and engineering time | 7-day free trial, then from $50/mo |

## FAQ

### Is this the official Paddy Power API?

No. Paddy Power doesn't offer a public odds API. OddsAPI.dev is an independent data provider, not affiliated with or endorsed by Paddy Power.

### Which Paddy Power markets are covered?

30+ market types: results, double chance, draw no bet, HT/FT, totals, BTTS, goal ranges, Asian and European handicaps, correct score, result combos, team specials and goalscorers, for full time and both halves. Anything that doesn't fit a standard key (enhanced prices, specials) comes back as other, under Paddy Power's own name.

### Does it include in-play Paddy Power odds?

Yes. GET /v1/paddy-power/events/{id}/odds/live returns in-play odds while a match runs; /odds returns the pre-match board, kept after kickoff as the closing line.

### Is Paddy Power the same as Betfair?

They're in the same group, but they're different products: Paddy Power is a sportsbook with fixed odds, Betfair Exchange is peer-to-peer. Both are live in the API, in the same schema.

### What's the Paddy Power bookmaker slug?

paddy-power. Every endpoint starts with /v1/paddy-power/.

### Is there a free trial?

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 five bookmakers. Cancel before it ends and you're never charged.
