SockOdds vs Sportradar
What each API covers, what it costs and how usage is counted, from our docs and Sportradar's own pages.
Both are odds data APIs, built for different jobs. Sportradar: Businesses: its developer portal calls its APIs a B2B service, not meant to be called from a client application. SockOdds: decimal prices from Australian and global bookmakers, exchanges and prediction markets, each with the time we saw it, readable keys, recorded history and official results.
Everything below about Sportradar comes from its own pages, read on 13 October 2026 and listed under Sources. Where its pages are silent, we say so rather than guess.

Pre-match first: not a low-latency in-play feed. | Bookmaker prices refresh once a minute pre-match and every 15 seconds in play. |
| Price history | On Pro: every price change we recorded, from 22 December 2025 for some leagues and 8 October 2026 for the rest, and whole days as Parquet files. | Pre-match markets keep their last odds after a game goes live, readable as the closing line. |
| Results and settlement | Graded from official result sources, never a bookmaker's settlement, with the same outcome ids as the prices. | Not stated on the pages we read. |
