Questions about NHL odds

Which NHL competitions does the API cover?

The catalog lists 4 NHL competitions, taken from bookmakers' own public listings: NHL, NHL Regular Time, NHL Preseason, NHL All Star Game. Each has its own league key.

Do you have live NHL odds?

Yes. Pro and higher plans stream pre-match and live odds in real time over WebSocket and REST. Solo covers pre-match odds.

Are NHL player props included?

Yes, when the bookmakers you pick list them for the game. Player markets come with the bookmaker price and a margin-adjusted fair price side by side, like every other market; which player markets are listed varies per bookmaker.

How do I request NHL odds, and is it included in my plan?

Use the sport key ice_hockey and the league key ice_hockey_nhl. NHL is included on every plan, and so are the other NHL competitions with their own keys.
