The Live Market Odds API is the real-time surface of the ALT Sports Data platform. It powers the workflows that sportsbooks, trading desks, and market-facing products use every day: discovering what sports are available, pulling event schedules and odds, and listing futures for season-long or outright markets.

Most integrations follow the same pattern:

  1. Discover sports -- Call /sports to see which sports are active, what archetype each uses, and which market families apply.
  2. Pull events -- Call /events with sport, league, date, or status filters to build your event board.
  3. Fetch odds and futures -- Use the returned identifiers to retrieve event-level odds or long-horizon futures for the entities you care about.

This section walks through each of those steps in detail.
