Platform API Overview
A guided tour of the ALT Sports Data platform — what the API covers, how it is organized, and where to start.
Platform API Overview
The ALT Sports Data API is organized around two main surfaces: a Live Market Odds API for real-time betting workflows and a Historical Sport Event API for schedules, results, and archival data. Everything else — credentials, market structures, reconciliation — supports getting those two surfaces into production.
