Get your API key

Complete your content partner profile, then generate a key in your account. Already a Concierge subscriber? Your API key management is available in the same place.

Open API key management ↗

Keep the key on your application's server. Set UNABATED_API_KEY in your environment; never put it in a public page or repository.

Request an odds snapshot

This example requests NFL moneyline odds. Discover current leagues and bet types to request another market. Read the returned snapshot from data.odds.

curl --fail-with-body --max-time 20 \
  "${UNABATED_API_BASE_URL:?Set UNABATED_API_BASE_URL to https://data.unabated.com}/market/nfl/straight/odds?betTypeId=1" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $UNABATED_API_KEY"

Set UNABATED_API_KEY privately and UNABATED_API_BASE_URL to https://data.unabated.com before running the command. See API key setup.

Free odds are delayed by at least 15 seconds. Make one odds request every five seconds per API key, shared across all odds endpoints.

What a successful response looks like

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "odds": { "…": "league, event, market, and selection data" },
    "lastUpdated": "…"
  },
  "messages": []
}

This is an abbreviated shape, not a fixture to copy into your integration. Follow the response hierarchy to reach available selections. Lines depend on the sport, book, market, and your access scope.

Publish a link with your partner code

Choose a real Gambly deep link from the response and add the tracking suffix shown on your API keys page before publishing it.

JavaScript · attach attribution once

const url = new URL(deepLink);
url.searchParams.set("utm_campaign", partnerCode);
const publishedLink = url.toString();

Free partners: add your tracking code. Untagged clicks do not count toward your traffic. Test the link from your site or platform, then confirm the lifetime count and last-click time in your account.

Add live updates with Concierge API or Enterprise API

Create a filtered subscription, then open its signed SSE URL to receive updates within your API tier's data coverage. Free API access uses REST polling.
