# Pointing a SportsGameOdds client at SockOdds [#pointing-a-sportsgameodds-client-at-sockodds]

SockOdds is the Australian extension of the SportsGameOdds v2 schema, so an existing SGO integration needs one change: the base URL.

1. Change the base URL to `https://api.sockodds.com/v2` and the key to an SockOdds key.
2. Keep your parsing: `eventID`, `odds[oddID]`, `byBookmaker`, `opposingOddID`, `status`, the envelope — all unchanged.
3. Expect the `leagueID`s SGO doesn't carry (`AFL`, `AFLW`, `NRL`, `RUGBYLEAGUE_NRLW`, `RUGBYLEAGUE_STATE_ORIGIN`, `RUGBYUNION_INTERNATIONALS`, `IPL`) and Australian `bookmakerID`s (`sportsbet`, `unibet`, `tab`, `playup`, `tabtouch`, `betright`, …).
4. Replace any stream subscription with polling every ~2 minutes (`/stream/events` answers 501).
5. Read the extra signals: `decimal` on every book, `info.stale`, `notice`.

## Differences at a glance [#differences-at-a-glance]

|  | SockOdds | SportsGameOdds |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Base URL | `https://api.sockodds.com/v2` | `https://api.sportsgameodds.com/v2` |
| Key prefix | `so_live_…` | — |
| Bookmakers | 25, 21 Australian | 85+, US/EU |
| Australian codes | AFL, AFLW, NRL, NRLW, State of Origin, rugby union, IPL | Not carried |
| Streaming | 501 | WebSocket on All-Star |
| Open/close odds | Not snapshotted | `includeOpenCloseOdds` |
| Extra fields | `decimal`, `info.stale`, `links.betslip` | — |
| Shape | Identical | Identical |

Using both feeds for two markets is common: join on `eventID` and `oddID`.
