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

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:

https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&limit=10
curl -X GET "https://api.sockodds.com/v2/events?oddsAvailable=true&leagueID=NCAAF&limit=10" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
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));
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()

puts JSON.pretty_generate(JSON.parse(res.body)['data'])
<?php

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:

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"
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" } });

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:

{
  "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.

Frequently asked questions

What NCAAF betting markets does the API cover?

21 distinct markets right now: Points / score, Touchdowns, Receptions and more — pre-match, across 43 bookmakers.

Does the API cover props, status and results in one feed?

How are markets identified in the API?
