Sportradar is the official data provider of NBA statistics and one of the largest sports data companies in the world. Its odds products cover 140+ bookmakers and 30+ sports at the top tier, and its league APIs go back decades with push feeds for live stats.
Smaller betting products tend to hit a few limits: the self-serve trial lasts 30 days with 1,000 requests, production access goes through sales, odds and league data use different ID systems, and there are no +EV, arbitrage or hit-rate endpoints.
This page compares the two honestly, including where Sportradar wins, then maps each endpoint and field so you can switch.

How to switch from Sportradar
- Get a free MoneyLine key at moneylineapp.com/signup.
- Point requests at https://mlapi.bet. Both APIs take the key in an x-api-key header. Sportradar stops accepting keys in the query string on November 13, 2026.
- Replace sport and date paths with a league query, using the endpoint map below.
- Drop the ID mapping step. MoneyLine uses one eventId for odds, props and scores.
- Rewrite the odds fields using the field map. Prices are already numbers, so there is nothing to parse.
- Replace paged prop requests with one /v1/player-props call per league.

Before and after
Before: Sportradar
const url = 'https://api.sportradar.com/oddscomparison-prematch/trial/v2/en/sports/'
+ sportId + '/schedules/2026-10-20/sport_event_markets.json'
const json = await (await fetch(url, {
headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.SPORTRADAR_KEY },
})).json()
for (const e of json.sport_schedule_sport_event_markets) {
const home = e.sport_event.competitors.find((c) => c.qualifier === 'home')
console.log(home.name, e.markets[0].books.map((b) => b.name + ' ' + b.outcomes[0].odds_american))
}After: MoneyLine Sports API (npm install moneyline-sports-api)
import { MoneyLine } from 'moneyline-sports-api'
const ml = new MoneyLine({ apiKey: process.env.MONEYLINE_API_KEY })
const games = await ml.odds({ league: 'nba', market: 'moneyline' })
for (const g of games) {
const prices = g.bookmakers.flatMap((b) => b.markets.flatMap((m) =>
m.outcomes.filter((o) => o.name === g.homeTeamName).map((o) => b.bookmakerName + ' ' + o.price)))
console.log(g.homeTeamName, prices)
}What Sportradar has that MoneyLine doesn't
- Official league data and advanced stats beyond box scores.
- Push feeds for live stats.
- Sportsbooks outside the US and sports beyond our 9 leagues.
- Futures odds and decimal or fractional odds in the response.
Why MoneyLine wins for builders
Sportradar nests odds by market, then book, with American odds as strings. MoneyLine nests them by book, then market, with numeric American prices and implied probability, and one eventId links odds to props, scores and line history.
You also get the layer betting products need: league-wide props in one call, hit rates, fair odds, best available price, and +EV, value and arbitrage endpoints. Official TypeScript and Python SDKs are available as moneyline-sports-api on npm and PyPI.
FAQ
+−Does Sportradar have a free plan?
It offers a 30-day trial with 1,000 requests at 1 request per second. Production access goes through its sales team, and prices are not published. MoneyLine's free plan has 1,000 credits a month with no end date.
+−Why do I need Sportradar's mappings endpoint?
Its odds APIs identify games with sr:sport_event IDs, while its league APIs use UUIDs. The mappings endpoint joins them. MoneyLine uses one eventId for odds, props, scores and line history.
+−Can I keep Sportradar for stats and use MoneyLine for odds?
Yes. Keep Sportradar for official data and deep stats, and use MoneyLine for odds, props, hit rates and edges. Match games between the two by date and team.
