URL: https://sockodds.com/leagues/ipl-odds-api/

> Our IPL odds API delivers IPL odds, player props and results for every match from 11 bookmakers, 11 Australian. Free tier available.

Our IPL odds API delivers Indian Premier League odds, player props, status and results for every match from 11 bookmakers, 11 of them Australian. `leagueID=IPL`. Free tier available.

Whether you're building a betting app, an odds comparison tool or a pricing model, the IPL odds API gives you structured data in the SportsGameOdds v2 shape so you can move fast.

## IPL Odds API Features

Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull exactly the markets you need. Coverage spans 10 teams and 5 events currently carried, with 28 market families.

Available IPL 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 (`10ov_cum`, `1ov`, `1wkt`, `2ov`, `3ov`, `4ov`, `5ov`, `6ov`, `6ov_cum`, `8ov_cum`)

All market data is pre-match, refreshed every ~2 minutes; see [pricing](https://sockodds.com/pricing/) for what each plan can see.

## IPL Player Props API

Access 52 IPL player proposition markets through the same endpoint — Runs, Wickets, Fours, Sixes, Player of the match, Strike rate — for every player the books price. See the [player prop odds API](https://sockodds.com/player-props-odds-api/) for the market list across every sport.

Filter by `playerID`, stat type or bookmaker to return only the props you need.

## IPL Odds API with Results

SockOdds delivers IPL odds and event data together in one response — no need to stitch data from multiple sources. Each response includes:

- Upcoming IPL 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 IPL odds API call

Getting IPL odds takes a single HTTP request:

```
https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=IPL&limit=10
```

This returns all available markets — lines, totals, head to head and props — for upcoming IPL events.

To narrow to a specific market, use the `oddID` parameter, with `PLAYER_ID` standing for every player:

```
https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=IPL&oddID=runs-PLAYER_ID-game-hop-draw&includeOpposingOdds=true
```

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=ladbrokes,neds` 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 IPL 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": "ipl_2026-05-21_gujarat_titans_vs_chennai_super_kings",
  "leagueID": "IPL",
  "odds": {
    "runs-away-game-ml-away": {
      "oddID": "runs-away-game-ml-away",
      "opposingOddID": "runs-home-game-ml-home",
      "marketName": "Match Winner",
      "statID": "runs",
      "statEntityID": "away",
      "periodID": "game",
      "betTypeID": "ml",
      "sideID": "away",
      "fairOdds": null,
      "bookOdds": "140",
      "byBookmaker": {
        "tab": {
          "available": true
        },
        "playup": {
          "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 Base and above, `null` where it cannot be computed.

## IPL 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

- [Support](https://sockodds.com/docs/help/) — email support on every plan, priority on paid plans

## Frequently asked questions

### What IPL betting markets does the API cover?

202 distinct markets right now: Runs, Wicket, Century, Fours, Sixes, Method of dismissal, Wickets, Toss and more — pre-match, across 11 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 IPL odds data updated?

Every ~2 minutes across every bookmaker lane. Each bookmaker entry carries `lastUpdatedAt`.

### Can I get historical IPL odds data?

Finished events are retained, so your archive starts when you start pulling. Opening and closing lines are not snapshotted yet.

### Is there a free trial?

Yes — a free Lite key covers AFL and NRL; Base unlocks every league including IPL. [Get a key →](https://sockodds.com/signup/)

### Which bookmakers are included?

11 bookmakers price IPL, 11 of them Australian: Ladbrokes, Neds, Sportsbet, Unibet, PointsBet, TAB, Dabble, PlayUp and more.

### Are live IPL 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 `runs-PLAYER_ID-game-hop-draw`. 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 Ladbrokes, Neds, Sportsbet, Unibet and the rest is straightforward.
