Free tier available. Our NCAAF odds API delivers NCAAF odds, player props, status and results for every game from 43 bookmakers, 38 of them Australian. `leagueID=NCAAF`. Free tier available. Whether you're building a betting app, an odds comparison tool or a pricing model, the NCAAF odds API gives you structured data in the SportsGameOdds v2 shape so you can move fast. Covering more than NCAAF? The [American Football](https://sockodds.com/sports/football-odds-api/) returns [CFL](https://sockodds.com/leagues/cfl-odds-api/), [NFL](https://sockodds.com/leagues/nfl-odds-api/) and NCAAF from a single sport-level request. ## NCAAF Odds API Features Every endpoint is filterable, so you pull exactly the markets you need. Coverage spans 129 teams and 71 events currently carried, with 10 market families. Available NCAAF 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 (`1h`, `1q`) All market data is pre-match, refreshed every ~2 minutes; see [pricing](https://sockodds.com/pricing/) for what each plan can see. ## NCAAF Player Props API Access 3 NCAAF player proposition markets through the same endpoint — Touchdowns, Receptions — 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. ## NCAAF Odds API with Results SockOdds delivers NCAAF odds and event data together in one response — no need to stitch data from multiple sources. Each response includes: - Upcoming NCAAF 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 NCAAF odds API call Getting NCAAF 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=NCAAF&limit=10 ``` ```bash curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&limit=10" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ```javascript const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&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="NCAAF", 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=NCAAF&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=NCAAF&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 NCAAF events. To narrow to a specific market, use the `oddID` parameter, with `PLAYER_ID` standing for every player: **Browser URL** · **cURL** · **JavaScript** · **Python** · **Ruby** · **PHP** · **Java** · **Go** ```text https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&oddID=touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes&includeOpposingOdds=true ``` ```bash curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&oddID=touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes&includeOpposingOdds=true" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ```javascript const response = await fetch("https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&oddID=touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes&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="NCAAF", oddID="touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes", 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=NCAAF&oddID=touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes&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=NCAAF&oddID=touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes&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 NCAAF 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": "ncaaf_2026-09-25_california_vs_clemson", "leagueID": "NCAAF", "odds": { "points-all-game-ou-over": { "oddID": "points-all-game-ou-over", "opposingOddID": "points-all-game-ou-under", "marketName": "Total Points", "statID": "points", "statEntityID": "all", "periodID": "game", "betTypeID": "ou", "sideID": "over", "fairOdds": null, "bookOdds": null, "byBookmaker": { "123bet": { "odds": "-127", "decimal": 1.787, "available": true }, "bearbet": { "odds": "-110", "decimal": 1.909, "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. ## NCAAF 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`;

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 NCAAF odds data updated? Every ~2 minutes across every bookmaker lane. Each bookmaker entry carries `lastUpdatedAt`. ### Can I get historical NCAAF 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 NCAAF. [Get a key →](https://sockodds.com/signup/) ### Which bookmakers are included? 43 bookmakers price NCAAF, 38 of them Australian: BearBet, BetFocus, CashCage, MintBet, Dabble, Chasebet, LightningBet, Star Sports and more. ### Are live NCAAF 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 `touchdowns-PLAYER_ID-game-yn-yes`. 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, MintBet and the rest is straightforward. ## Start building today Free plan available.
