Pinnacle Sportsbook Odds Scraper

Pinnacle Odds Scraper - Sportsbook API with No-Vig Fair Odds

Scrape Pinnacle sportsbook odds for any sport, league, or match, pre-match and in-play. Every game comes back as one row with the moneyline, spread and total, the bet limit Pinnacle attaches to each market, the implied probability of every price, the bookmaker margin, and the no-vig fair odds left once that margin is divided out. No login, no API key, no proxy. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Pinnacle is the reference book: low margin, high limits, and lines the rest of the market follows. This reads its public odds feed directly, filtered by sport, league, country, team, start time, price, margin, or bet limit, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape Pinnacle for
Sports bettors	Sharp lines to compare against a soft book before placing a bet
Quant and model builders	No-vig probabilities as the training target and the benchmark
Arbitrage and value hunters	A low-margin reference to price every other book against
Odds comparison sites	A complete, keyless board across 20+ sports on a schedule
Traders and researchers	Line movement, bet limits, and margin as a market-efficiency signal

What it does

This Actor collects Pinnacle matchups by sport, league, matchup id, or URL, and returns each one as a flat row. Every match carries:

• 🧾 Core fields: sport, league, country group, both teams, rotation number, kickoff time, cutoff time, and live status.
• 💰 Main markets: moneyline (including the draw), spread with its handicap, and total with its line, each in American and decimal odds.
• 🎯 The no-vig layer: implied probability per price, bookmaker margin per market, and the fair probability and fair decimal price with the margin removed.
• 🛡️ Bet limits: the maximum stake Pinnacle accepts on each market, which is its own confidence signal.
• 🔴 Live state: score, minute, red and yellow cards, corners, and score by period on in-play games.
• ⏱️ Freshness, stated: boardAgeSeconds, boardVersion, and boardSource on every row, so you always know how old the price you got is.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or stream from the API.

How fresh the data is

Pinnacle serves its public board through a CDN with roughly a 15-minute cache. That is the same board pinnacle.com shows an anonymous visitor, and no public surface is fresher, the site itself takes live price updates over a websocket that needs an account.

This Actor does not pretend otherwise. Every row carries boardAgeSeconds straight from the CDN, so you can see whether a price is 10 seconds or 12 minutes old, and boardVersion, which rises each time Pinnacle reprices. There is no point scheduling a run more often than about every 15 minutes; you would pay for the same board twice.

For games in play there is one thing worth doing, and the includeLiveOdds option does it: the league page and the sport's live feed are cached independently, and the live feed is consistently the newer copy. Measured on eight in-play games, it won eight times out of eight. Turn it on and in-play rows are rebuilt from whichever board version is higher, at two requests per sport rather than per match.

What you can do with Pinnacle odds

📊 Price every other book against a sharp line.

Pull a league's board, read homeWinProbability, drawProbability and awayWinProbability, and compare them to the price your book is offering. The gap is your edge.

🧮 Skip the vig calculator.

moneylineMarginPercent is the overround on every market, and fairDecimal is the price without it. Both are computed per market, so you never convert American odds by hand again.

📈 Watch the line move.

Turn on line movement and the Actor takes a second snapshot after a hold, then reports every price and handicap that changed, with direction and probability delta. The hold has to outlast the 15-minute board cache to see anything, so the window defaults to 900 seconds. If the second snapshot comes back as the same board version, the row says boardRefreshed: false and the event is not billed.

🔍 Find value and arbitrage candidates.

Filter by maximum margin and minimum bet limit to keep only the markets Pinnacle is most confident in, then compare those fair prices to a softer book.

🤖 Feed a model.

Schedule a run per league and build a time series of prices, limits, and fair probabilities without touching an official API key.

drawProbability is null in two-way sports. spread and total are null on sports Pinnacle prices moneyline-only, such as golf, boxing, and cycling. That is the market's real state, not a gap in the data.

Live games add a liveState block with the score, the minute, cards, corners, and the score by period. In-play margins run wider than pre-match ones: around 8-11% against 2-5%, which is Pinnacle's real pricing, not an artefact.

boardAgeSeconds is how many seconds that board had been sitting in Pinnacle's CDN when it was read, and boardVersion is Pinnacle's own revision counter for those markets. A fixture that has kicked off is published as several books at once: pre-match, the normal in-play book, and a restricted danger_zone book, and the Actor keeps the one actually on offer, so a fixture is one row. liveMode tells you which book you got.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor from four source types, alone or together: sports, leagues, matchup ids, and Pinnacle URLs. Filters run as each match is read, so only matches reach your dataset. Filters also run before the optional blocks are projected out, so you can filter on data you did not buy: screening by margin never charges the alternate-lines event. The Input tab lists every parameter.

Today's and tonight's soccer, sharp markets only:

{ "sports": ["Soccer"], "startsWithinHours": 24, "maxMarginPercent": 3, "maxItems": 200 }

One league's full board with every optional block:

{ "leagues": ["England - Premier League"], "includeAlternateLines": true, "includePeriodMarkets": true, "includeTeamTotals": true, "includeProps": true }

Every live game across two sports, from Pinnacle's live feed:

{ "sports": ["Soccer", "Tennis"], "onlyLive": true, "maxItems": 100 }

A whole country's board, with in-play games taken from the fresher live feed:

{ "sports": ["Soccer"], "leagueGroups": ["England"], "includeLiveOdds": true, "maxItems": 200 }

Watch a handful of games move across a full board refresh:

{ "leagues": ["1980"], "trackLineMovement": true, "lineMovementDelaySecs": 900, "maxItems": 20 }

Only high-limit markets in one country:

{ "sports": ["Soccer"], "leagueGroups": ["England"], "minMaxStake": 1000, "oddsFormats": ["american", "decimal", "fractional"] }

Pricing

Pay-per-event: $0.007 per match, dropping to $0.00623 at higher volume, plus $0.006 per board resolved: one board is a league, or a sport's live feed, and a $0.054 run-start fee. You pay only for matches written to your dataset.

Matches collected	Boards read	Approximate cost
20 (one league)	1	$0.20
100 (top leagues)	8	$0.80
1,000 (all of soccer)	165	$8.04
10,000 (many sports)	~800	$74.85

The board fee is the fixed cost of paging a competition, shared across the matches it yields, which keeps the per-match price clean. Name the leagues you want and it almost disappears; sweep a whole sport and you pay it once per league.

The optional blocks are billed only when they are delivered, once per match: alternate lines $0.003, period markets $0.003, team totals $0.002, props $0.008, live-feed cross-check $0.004, line movement $0.010. All of them are off by default, so a plain run is the price above and nothing else. The last two only bill when they actually did something, the cross-check when it found a newer board, line movement when the board reloaded between snapshots.

At $0.007 a match this sits above the cheapest generic odds scrapers, which charge $0.003 to $0.005 for a single line. A row here is a whole match: every main market, in six odds formats, with the margin and the fair price already computed. The closest Pinnacle-specific alternative charges $0.01 for a pre-match snapshot and another $0.05 to add fair odds. New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Pinnacle odds through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/pinnacle-odds-scraper"

Then prompt it in plain language:

• "Pull today's Premier League odds from Pinnacle and list the games by no-vig home win probability."
• "Which live soccer games have a moneyline margin under 6% right now?"
• "Track the next hour of line movement on tonight's NBA board and tell me what moved most."

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to start:

Use the Apify Actor "parseforge/pinnacle-odds-scraper" to collect Pinnacle sportsbook odds. Input: { "sports": ["<name>"], "leagues": ["<name or id>"], "onlyLive": <true|false>, "maxItems": <n> }. It returns homeTeam, awayTeam, league, startTime, moneyline, spread, total, maxStake, moneylineMarginPercent, and no-vig homeWinProbability / drawProbability / awayWinProbability per match. Call it with the ApifyClient and my APIFY_TOKEN.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

The sport or league name may be misspelled, or the league may have no open markets right now. Out-of-season leagues such as the NBA in August list futures only and return no games. Widen startsWithinHours, or drop maxMarginPercent and minMaxStake, which are strict filters.

Why fewer matches than I asked for?

A league only has as many fixtures as it has. maxLeaguesPerSport and maxMatchupsPerLeague also cap the run before maxItems does.

Why is a field empty?

spread and total are null on moneyline-only sports such as golf, boxing, MMA, and cycling. drawProbability is null wherever there is no draw. liveState appears only on in-play games. That is the market's real state.

Why did my props block come back empty?

Pinnacle publishes the prop book close to kickoff. A fixture a week out often has none, and propCount is 0. Nothing is billed for a block that was not delivered.

Why does my line-movement run report nothing moved?

The window was shorter than Pinnacle's board cache, so both snapshots were the same board. The row says boardRefreshed: false and the event is not billed. Raise lineMovementDelaySecs to 900 or more.

Why is boardAgeSeconds several hundred?

That is the CDN cache doing its job, and it is the same board pinnacle.com serves an anonymous visitor. Turn on includeLiveOdds to pull in-play games from the fresher live feed, and do not schedule runs more often than about every 15 minutes.

Why is the run slow?

Reading a whole sport walks every league that has markets: soccer alone is over 150 of them. Set maxLeaguesPerSport, or name the leagues you want. Naming a league by text with no sport given scans the league list of every active sport first; pass sports alongside it to skip that.

Why is my line-movement run capped at 500 rows?

Rows are held in memory until the second snapshot, so that path is capped to stay inside the run's memory. Split a larger job into several runs.

A field stopped filling.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Pinnacle account or API key?	No. It reads Pinnacle's public guest feed, so there is no account, key, or proxy to manage.
Which sports does it cover?	Every sport Pinnacle currently prices: around 20 with open markets, including soccer, tennis, basketball, football, baseball, hockey, MMA, esports, golf, and cycling.
Does it return live in-play odds?	Yes. onlyLive reads Pinnacle's live feed directly, and includeLiveOdds pulls in-play games in a league run from that same fresher feed.
How fresh are the prices?	Pinnacle's public board is CDN-cached for about 15 minutes, and every row states its own boardAgeSeconds. No public surface is fresher; the site takes live updates over an account-only websocket.
What exactly are the fair odds?	The implied probabilities of a market rescaled so they sum to 100%, which removes the bookmaker margin. It is the standard multiplicative no-vig method, and an estimate, not a Pinnacle field.
Can I get alternate lines and player props?	Yes, as opt-in blocks. Both are off by default and billed only when delivered.
Does it track closing line value?	It captures line movement inside one run. For CLV, schedule a run every 15-30 minutes and compare the last board before kickoff to your entry price.
Can I filter by margin or bet limit?	Yes. maxMarginPercent keeps only sharp markets and minMaxStake keeps only liquid ones. Only matches that pass are written and billed.
How many matches per run?	Free plan: 10. Paid: the whole board, bounded by what Pinnacle currently prices.
Is this an official Pinnacle product?	No. It is unofficial and reads only publicly available Pinnacle data.
