DFS Props API: Pick'em Lines and Payouts

Use PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper and Pick6 filters to inspect available DFS projections. Learn where payout multipliers live and how to separate them from odds.

How can I get DFS pick'em projections and payout data?

Use ParlayAPI's props endpoint with a DFS bookmaker filter, such as prizepicks, underdog, sleeper or pick6. Read the returned line, available sides and source metadata. Coverage varies, and DFS projections or payout multipliers must be kept distinct from sportsbook American odds.

Read the payout attached to the selection

For an explicit Pick6 offer, selection_by_side[side].payout_multiplier holds the native selection-specific multiplier when supplied. available_sides identifies the supplied directions. These offers have null American price fields. In grouped responses, inspect the matching entry inside books[], not another book's metadata.

Legacy flat-payout DFS rows can expose normalized American values with dfs_normalized metadata. Those values are conversions, not quoted sportsbook odds. Do not infer a native payout from them or assume every app uses the same payout rules.

Read odds_type and projection_type only when present. Missing type metadata does not establish that a projection is standard. For full-game and period projections, inspect the market key and period instead of guessing from a player's name or line value.

Endpoint

GET /v1/sports/{sport_key}/props

curl -i 'https://parlay-api.com/v1/sports/baseball_mlb/props?bookmakers=pick6&limit=25&offset=0' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY'

Replace YOUR_KEY with your dashboard key. To inspect another app, change bookmakers to prizepicks, underdog or sleeper. Returned markets and fields depend on what that source supplies; this template does not promise a full board.

Before comparing DFS lines with sportsbook props

Match the event, athlete, market, period and line. A full-game projection and a first-half projection are different selections.
Preserve available_sides and selection_by_side. Do not manufacture a missing Over or Under offer.
Check x-result-has-more, x-next-offset, x-result-truncated and x-result-degraded before treating the response as complete.
Review each source separately. An active integration or a recent database observation does not prove every app selection is available.

FAQ

Is this an official PrizePicks or Pick6 API?

This is ParlayAPI's independently provided API. The source names identify available data integrations and do not imply sponsorship, affiliation or an official API offered by those apps.

Why are Pick6 American price fields null?

An explicit Pick6 offer supplies payout information for a selection rather than an American sportsbook price. Inspect selection_by_side and available_sides when present. Do not replace null price fields with an estimated price.

Can I display the data publicly in my own product?

Check the acceptable-use terms and discuss your intended distribution with support before building a public display or resale product. An API key alone does not establish public redistribution permission.
