Odds API for Betting Alert Bots

Build a sports odds alert bot for Discord or Telegram: diff odds across every AU book to detect line moves and push deeplinks to users.

An alert bot is a diff loop: fetch, compare with the last snapshot, notify when a price crosses a threshold, and hand the user a link. SockOdds gives the loop 21 Australian books in one object, a consensus to measure moves against, and deeplinks to put in the message.
