Overview
EsportsOdds is a specialized data API focused on Counter-Strike 2 esports. It provides match data, team and player statistics, tournament details, and a consolidated market odds line via REST endpoints and a WebSocket stream. Designed for developers, data product creators, and trading desks, it offers a single normalized schema with append-only historical odds data. The service is currently in beta with CS2 support, with plans to expand to League of Legends, Dota 2, and Valorant.
Key Features
- Market Odds Line: A single odds line for CS2 match winners, built from multiple bookmaker sources. Each odds capture is timestamped and never overwritten, preserving a full time series for backtesting.
- REST API Endpoints: Six resources cover odds, matches, players, teams, tournaments, and WebSocket token generation. All responses follow a consistent, documented schema.
- WebSocket Push Updates: After minting a 60-second ticket, clients receive real-time notifications when odds or match data change, reducing polling overhead.
- Append-Only History: Every odds update is appended with a UTC timestamp, enabling historical analysis and replay of market movements.
- Normalized Data Model: Stable IDs for teams, players, and tournaments across events, simplifying integration and cross-referencing.
- CS2 Focus with Roadmap: Currently supports Counter-Strike 2 exclusively. League of Legends is in development (Q3 2026), followed by Dota 2 and Valorant.
- Single Pricing Plan: $99/month for 10,000 requests, covering all endpoints and WebSocket access. A 7-day free trial is available.
Use Cases
- Developers building match pages: Use the API to display live scores, odds, and player stats without maintaining scrapers. The WebSocket stream keeps UI updated in near real-time.
- Data products and analytics platforms: Publish reliable esports statistics and odds lines alongside editorial content. The normalized schema simplifies data ingestion.
- Trading desks and quantitative analysts: Backtest strategies against the append-only odds history, capturing exact prices at each tick. The market line provides a single reference price.
