NCAAF moneylines, spreads, totals, and props, aggregated from 45+ sportsbooks and sources in the last 24 hours - with sub-5-second freshness on the major books. Same response shape as the-odds-api, so an existing integration migrates in one URL change. Free tier, no card required.
One sport key - americanfootball_ncaaf - the same key the-odds-api
uses. Platform-wide figures below are measured across all 90+ sports we carry;
NCAAF is served by the same pipeline.
Full-game h2h, spread, and total prices from the books that write college football - DraftKings, FanDuel, Pinnacle, bet365, Caesars, BetMGM and more. Across the platform, 27 distinct sources wrote game lines in the last 24 hours, at 100k+ game-line updates per hour. Every NCAAF game our sources price shows up; see exactly which books are writing it on the coverage explorer.

College football props come back on the same canonical market keys the-odds-api uses, from every source that writes them. An honest caveat: several US states restrict props on college athletes, so NCAAF prop depth varies by book. Platform-wide, 43 sources wrote props in the last 24 hours across 4,000+ distinct prop market keys.
GET /v1/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/props
REST polling on every tier with sub-5-second freshness on major books. Paid plans add WebSocket streaming - one connection covers a full 12-hour college football Saturday without burning polling credits. See /pricing for which tiers include streaming.

1.7M+ historical closing game lines with continuous coverage from 2005, and 30M+ prop closing lines since June 2022, across the whole archive - two decades of college football closing numbers for CLV tracking and backtests.

ParlayAPI mirrors the-odds-api's v4 REST shape for college football: same
americanfootball_ncaaf sport key, same paths, same query
parameters, same response JSON. Swap the base URL and your existing code keeps
working. Full guide:
/migrate-from-the-odds-api.
# before curl "https://api.the-odds-api.com/v4/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/odds?regions=us&markets=h2h,spreads,totals&apiKey=YOUR_TOA_KEY" # after curl "https://parlay-api.com/v4/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/odds?regions=us&markets=h2h,spreads,totals&apiKey=YOUR_PARLAY_KEY"
the-odds-api is older, simpler, and more battle-tested, with a much larger base of tutorials, Stack Overflow answers, and community wrappers to copy from. If your college football needs are basic - one region, game lines only, no streaming - its smaller surface area is a genuine advantage. Our honest roundup of the-odds-api alternatives compares seven providers side by side, us included.
Endpoint shapes below are the real ones from the API docs.
Auth is either the-odds-api-style apiKey= query param or an
X-API-Key header.

Yes. ParlayAPI's free tier includes 1,000 credits per month with no credit
card required, and NCAAF game lines are covered the same as on paid plans.

We return every NCAAF game our sources price. Marquee matchups are priced by many books; smaller mid-week and FCS games may be priced by fewer. Rather than promise a blanket number, we let you verify: the live coverage explorer and the NCAAF detail page show exactly which books are writing college football right now, measured from live ingest.
Where sportsbooks offer them, yes -
GET /v1/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/props returns whatever
college football props our sources are writing, on the same canonical market
keys the-odds-api uses. Note that several US states restrict player props on
college athletes, so book-level NCAAF prop coverage genuinely varies by
market. Platform-wide, 43 sources wrote player props in the last 24 hours
across 4,000+ distinct prop market keys.
Yes - ParlayAPI mirrors the-odds-api's v4 REST shape: the same
americanfootball_ncaaf sport key, the same endpoint paths, query
parameters, and JSON response shape. Migrating an existing integration is a
base-URL change from api.the-odds-api.com/v4 to
parlay-api.com/v4 - see the
migration guide. In fairness,
the-odds-api is older and simpler with a larger tutorial base; if you only
need basic game lines it remains a solid choice.
Yes. The historical archive holds 1.7M+ closing game lines with continuous
coverage back to 2005, plus 30M+ prop closing lines since June 2022, across
all sports including NCAAF. Query
/v1/historical/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/odds for snapshots
or /v1/historical/sports/americanfootball_ncaaf/closing-odds for
closing lines - the raw material for CLV tracking and backtesting college
football models.
