Odds API watch
Continuous reachability monitoring of the major sports odds APIs, ours included. Run by ParlayAPI, one of the providers measured, with the methodology next to every number. Machine-readable at /watch.json.
How to read this page: Reachability of public endpoints measured from our production server in Falkenstein, Germany, every 5 minutes. This is not an official status page for any provider listed, ours included. A 401 from a keyed endpoint counts as reachable: the vendor's edge answered, we just did not present an API key. Our own API is measured the same way and shown the same way.
A target counts as down only when it returns no HTTP response within 10 seconds or answers with a 5xx.
One request per endpoint per run, from one vantage point: these numbers are our probes' view of public-endpoint reachability, not any provider's true global availability.
For the authoritative word on any provider, check that provider's own status page.
GET /healthz
probed URL: https://parlay-api.com/healthz

Methodology
- Vantage point: ParlayAPI production server, Falkenstein, Germany.
- Cadence: one GET per endpoint every 5 minutes, 10 second timeout, identifying itself as
ParlayAPI-watch.
- Up: any HTTP response with status under 500 within the timeout; 401/403 from keyed endpoints count as reachable.
- Down: no HTTP response within the timeout (timeout, DNS, connect, TLS failure) or a 5xx response.
- State: last 3 probes: all up = up, none up = down, mixed = degraded.
- Endpoint selection follows the public odds-api-benchmarks probe configuration: each vendor's most public API-edge endpoint.
- one vantage point measuring public-endpoint reachability; not a provider's true global availability and not a statement about data quality or odds update speed.
- latency is measured from our own production network, and the ParlayAPI endpoints run on the same server that sends the probes, so our latency numbers have a home advantage; latency is not comparable across providers on this page.
- Who runs this: ParlayAPI, which is one of the providers measured on this page; this is not third-party monitoring.
This page exists because "is my odds API down or is it just me" is a real question at kickoff time, for users of every provider here. If a provider believes their endpoint is misrepresented, email [email protected] and we will fix the probe. The same address gets an odds API added to this page. Provider names and endpoints belong to their respective owners; this page is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any provider listed.
