Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

The Odds API Overview#

With The Odds API on Pipedream, you can access a range of bookmakers and exchanges to get live and upcoming sports odds. This integration allows you to create workflows for odds comparison, betting opportunities, or even to power a custom alerting system for when odds reach a certain threshold. The data provided by The Odds API can be used to inform decisions or feed into other apps for enhanced functionality.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
The Odds API	`app`	`app`	This component uses the The Odds API app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
Region	`region`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`{ "label": "United States", "value": "us" }{ "label": "United States 2", "value": "us2" }{ "label": "United Kingdom", "value": "uk" }{ "label": "Australia", "value": "au" }{ "label": "Europe", "value": "eu" }`
Sport	`sport`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

The Odds API uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your The Odds API account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to The Odds API APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API Key,

Navigate to your The Odds API account and sign in
Go to “Account” > “API”

Python Overview#

Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.

This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.

Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:

Action Code#
