Integrations

Every way to plug ParlayAPI into your stack. Reference clients in eight languages, Postman/Bruno/Insomnia collections auto-generated from the OpenAPI spec, MCP server for Cursor & Claude, llms.txt for AI agents, embeddable widgets, status badges, and HMAC-signed webhooks. If you're missing one, open an issue.

API clients (8 languages)

Python stdlib only

Production-grade single-file client. Capped exponential backoff, Retry-After, idempotency keys, typed exceptions. requests + dataclasses, nothing else.

Ruby stdlib only

Ruby 3.0+. net/http + json + securerandom. Keyword args, raises ParlayAPI::Error.

Java stdlib only

Java 17+. java.net.http only, no Jackson/Gson. Returns raw JSON strings; pipe into your preferred deserializer.

PHP no composer

PHP 8.1+. Strict types, named-arg constructor, curl extension only. Typed ParlayException.

C# / .NET no nuget

.NET 6+. System.Net.Http + System.Text.Json only. Builder, IDisposable, async-throughout, CancellationToken.

Rust async / tokio

Rust 1.75+. tokio + reqwest + serde_json + thiserror. Async-throughout, typed Error enum, Builder pattern.

API tooling

OpenAPI 3.1 auto-generated

Full machine-readable spec at /openapi.json. Generate clients in any language with openapi-generator-cli.

openapi-generator-cli generate \
  -i https://parlay-api.com/openapi.json \
  -g typescript-axios -o ./parlay-api-ts

Bruno / Insomnia via OpenAPI

Both editors import OpenAPI 3.1 natively. Point them at /openapi.json. Bruno's bru-cli can also generate per-request .bru files into your repo.

bru import --type openapi \
  --source https://parlay-api.com/openapi.json

AI agent integrations

llms.txt AI discovery

Single-fetch landing page for AI search engines and agent crawlers. Lists every public endpoint, blog post, reference client, and HTML page with one-line descriptions. Spec: llmstxt.org.

Claude / Cursor MCP server v0.3

parlay-api-mcp wraps every endpoint as an MCP tool. Drop it into Claude Desktop or Cursor settings and let the agent fetch odds, score bets, find arbs, run +EV scans, etc. directly.

pip install parlay-api-mcp
# claude_desktop_config.json:
{ "mcpServers": {
    "parlay-api": {
      "command": "parlay-api-mcp",
      "env": { "PARLAY_API_KEY": "pak_live_..." }
    }
} }
