Free tier available. Our CFL odds API delivers CFL odds, player props, status and results for every game from 43 bookmakers, 38 of them Australian. `leagueID=CFL`. Free tier available. Whether you're building a betting app, an odds comparison tool or a pricing model, the CFL odds API gives you structured data in the SportsGameOdds v2 shape so you can move fast. Covering more than CFL? The [American Football](https://sockodds.com/sports/football-odds-api/) returns [NCAAF](https://sockodds.com/leagues/ncaaf-odds-api/), [NFL](https://sockodds.com/leagues/nfl-odds-api/) and CFL from a single sport-level request. ## CFL Odds API Features Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull exactly the markets you need. Coverage spans 8 teams and 4 events currently carried, with 3 market families. Available CFL betting markets include: - Head to head / moneylines (2-way and 3-way markets) - Lines, spreads and handicaps - Totals (over/under) - Alternative lines - Player props and game props - Period-specific markets (full game) All market data is pre-match, refreshed every ~2 minutes; see [pricing](https://sockodds.com/pricing/) for what each plan can see. ## CFL Player Props API The Australian books price CFL at match and team level today; player props arrive in the same shape (the `playerID` in the `statEntityID` slot) as soon as a covered book offers them. ## CFL Odds API with Results SockOdds delivers CFL odds and event data together in one response — no need to stitch data from multiple sources. Each response includes: - Upcoming CFL events with status flags - Home and away team data with ids - Players with production ids where present - Full odds coverage: lines, totals, head to head, props and alternative lines - Results and `scoringSupported` flags where the source grades Line movement tracking is yours to build: every bookmaker entry carries `lastUpdatedAt`, and finished events are retained. ## Quick start: your first CFL odds API call Getting CFL odds takes a single HTTP request: **Browser URL** · **cURL** · **JavaScript** · **Python** · **Ruby** · **PHP** · **Java** · **Go** ```text https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10 ``` ```bash curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ```javascript const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10", { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } }); const { data, nextCursor, notice } = await response.json(); console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); ``` ```python import requests response = requests.get("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events", params=dict(oddsAvailable="true", leagueID="CFL", limit="10"), headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}) output = response.json() print(output["data"]) ``` ```ruby require 'net/http' require 'json' uri = URI("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10") req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri) req['x-api-key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY' res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |http| http.request(req) } puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(res.body)['data']) ``` ```php response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString()); System.out.println(response.body()); ``` ```go req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&limit=10", nil) req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY") res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(string(body)) ``` This returns all available markets — lines, totals, head to head and props — for upcoming CFL events. To narrow to a specific market, use the `oddID` parameter: **Browser URL** · **cURL** · **JavaScript** · **Python** · **Ruby** · **PHP** · **Java** · **Go** ```text https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true ``` ```bash curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ```javascript const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true", { headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } }); const { data, nextCursor, notice } = await response.json(); console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)); ``` ```python import requests response = requests.get("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events", params=dict(oddsAvailable="true", leagueID="CFL", oddID="points-all-game-ou-over", includeOpposingOdds="true"), headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}) output = response.json() print(output["data"]) ``` ```ruby require 'net/http' require 'json' uri = URI("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true") req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri) req['x-api-key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY' res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) { |http| http.request(req) } puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(res.body)['data']) ``` ```php response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString()); System.out.println(response.body()); ``` ```go req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=CFL&oddID=points-all-game-ou-over&includeOpposingOdds=true", nil) req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "YOUR_API_KEY") res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(string(body)) ``` OddIDs follow the format `{statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}`, where the entity is a player for props and `home`, `away` or `all` for team and game markets. Tips to keep responses fast: - Add `bookmakerID=bearbet,betfocus` to limit to the bookmakers you care about - Use `includeOpposingOdds=true` so you only need to specify one side of a market - Keep your `oddID` list tight — only request markets you're actively using ### What a CFL response looks like Every event returns an `odds` object keyed by `oddID`. Here's a real market from the feed with the bookmaker list cut to two books: ```json { "eventID": "cfl_2026-09-25_bc_lions_vs_saskatchewan_roughriders", "leagueID": "CFL", "odds": { "points-all-game-ou-over": { "oddID": "points-all-game-ou-over", "opposingOddID": "points-all-game-ou-under", "marketName": "Over/Under", "statID": "points", "statEntityID": "all", "periodID": "game", "betTypeID": "ou", "sideID": "over", "fairOdds": null, "bookOdds": null, "byBookmaker": { "betnow": { "odds": "-116", "decimal": 1.86, "available": true } } } } } ``` Two things worth noting. Odds values are strings, not numbers, so `-108` arrives as `"-108"` — that keeps the leading `+` intact on underdog prices — and every book also carries `decimal`, because Australian books quote decimal. `bookOdds` is the consensus with the vig left in; `fairOdds` is the de-vigged price on Rookie and above, `null` where it cannot be computed. ## CFL Odds API Technical Specifications ### API Architecture - **REST API** — Simple HTTP endpoints with JSON responses, identical to the SportsGameOdds v2 paths - **Native WebSocket snapshots** - Pro/Platform at `/v2/stream/events`; polling-backed, with unchanged upstream freshness - **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 ### CFL betting market coverage in the SockOdds API, by category | Market category | Example markets | Markets | Availability | Typical bookmakers | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Full game lines** | Points / score O/U, Points / score line, Points / score | 6 oddIDs | Pre-match | [BearBet](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/bearbet-odds-api/), [BetFocus](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/betfocus-odds-api/), [CashCage](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/cashcage-odds-api/), [Chasebet](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/chasebet-odds-api/), [Dabble](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/dabble-odds-api/), [LightningBet](https://sockodds.com/bookmakers/lightningbet-odds-api/) | **See every CFL market with its exact oddID** in the [markets browser](https://sockodds.com/docs/data-types/markets/?league=CFL). ## Use Cases - [Arbitrage](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/arbitrage-betting-api/) & [+EV tools](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/positive-ev-betting-api/) — compare CFL odds across every Australian bookmaker to uncover arbitrage opportunities and positive expected value angles. - [Odds comparison platforms](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/odds-comparison-api/) — display CFL odds from every book side by side for comprehensive line shopping. - **Pricing models & trading** — use CFL market data as inputs for proprietary pricing algorithms and betting strategies. - [Sports analytics & research](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/sports-betting-machine-learning/) — examine CFL line movements and betting-market patterns, and build predictive models on retained events. - [Betting automation](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/odds-alert-bot-api/) — build systems that monitor CFL lines across bookmakers and trigger actions when your target odds appear. - [Sportsbook & fantasy apps](https://sockodds.com/use-cases/sports-betting-app-api/) — power your CFL product with reliable odds, status and bet-slip deeplinks. ## CFL Odds API Documentation Our interactive documentation covers everything you need to integrate CFL odds into your project: - Full endpoint reference with parameters and response schemas - Live request and response examples - Code snippets in Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Go and Java - Authentication setup and API key management - Rate limiting and the `notice` field - Error handling and troubleshooting [View documentation](https://sockodds.com/docs/) For more on querying `/v2/events` with CFL-specific examples, see the [API documentation](https://sockodds.com/docs/basics/). ## Frequently asked questions ### What CFL betting markets does the API cover? 6 distinct markets right now: Points / score and more — pre-match, across 43 bookmakers. ### Does the API cover props, status and results in one feed? Yes, from the same request. A single `/v2/events` call returns the game lines, the props, the event status and the results the source has, so there is no separate results API to reconcile. Each market carries `scoringSupported` and the event carries `status.finalized`. ### How often is CFL odds data updated? Every ~2 minutes across every bookmaker lane. Each bookmaker entry carries `lastUpdatedAt`. ### Can I get historical CFL odds data? Pro/Platform include recorded odds history and observed opening/closing main-line quotes with includeOpenCloseOdds=true and one eventID. ### Is there a free trial? Yes — a free Developer key covers AFL and NRL; Rookie unlocks every league including CFL. [Get a key →](https://sockodds.com/signup/) ### Which bookmakers are included? 43 bookmakers price CFL, 38 of them Australian: BearBet, BetFocus, CashCage, Chasebet, Dabble, LightningBet, MintBet, Picklebet and more. ### Are live CFL odds available? Event status is live; prices are pre-match first and refresh every ~2 minutes. ### How are markets identified in the API? Every market uses a structured oddID in the format `{statID}-{statEntityID}-{periodID}-{betTypeID}-{sideID}` — for example `points-all-game-ou-over`. The same pattern lets you construct, filter and parse markets programmatically. ### Can I compare bookmaker odds? Yes — every market returns prices from every supporting bookmaker under one `oddID`, so lining up the best available price across BearBet, BetFocus, CashCage, Chasebet and the rest is straightforward. ## Start building today Free plan available.
