## PointsBet API Features & Market Types

### Main markets

- **Head to head** — 2-way and 3-way lines
- **Line / handicap** — spreads with the price
- **Totals** — over/under lines for points, goals, runs and more
- **Period markets** — halves, quarters, innings, sets, rounds where priced

### Player props & alternate lines

PointsBet prices 43 distinct player-prop markets in the feed — Points / score, First to score, Last to score, Goals + assists, Shots on goal, RBIs — plus alternative spreads and totals, team props and game props.

### Pre-match data

- **Pre-game odds** — current odds before game time, with `decimal` alongside the American string
- **Availability** — a suspended selection is listed with `available: false`, never dropped silently
- **Line movement tracking** — every price carries `lastUpdatedAt`, and finished events are retained

### Deeplinks & settlement data

- **Deeplinks** — 91 events carry a PointsBet entry in `links.bookmakers`
- **Results** — event results and `scoringSupported` flags where the source grades the market

## PointsBet Odds API Technical Specifications

### API Architecture

- **REST API** — Simple HTTP endpoints with JSON responses, identical to the SportsGameOdds v2 paths
- **Polling, not push** — the feed refreshes every ~2 minutes; `/v2/stream/events` is reserved and answers 501 rather than pretending
- **Rate limits** — per-key, per-minute meters that bind under concurrency; plans sized to your usage
- **Authentication** — secure API key access via the `x-api-key` header or `apiKey` query parameter

### Data Update Speed

- **Odds updates** — every ~2 minutes across every bookmaker lane
- **Event status** — `status` flags and `info.stale` tell you exactly how current a price is

### Developer Resources

- [Interactive documentation](https://sockodds.com/docs/) — live examples, copy-paste snippets and an [AI (vibe coding)](https://sockodds.com/docs/info/ai-vibe-coding/) context
- [SDKs & libraries](https://sockodds.com/docs/sdk/) — the SportsGameOdds SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go and Java work unchanged with the base URL pointed here
- [Postman collection](https://sockodds.com/postman-collection/) — pre-built requests ready to run
- [Support](https://sockodds.com/docs/help/) — email support on every plan, priority on paid plans
