Real-time sports data at conversation speed

From live betting odds to event schedules and game scores, your AI agent delivers comprehensive sports data from The Odds API in every conversation.

Fetch Live Odds

A user asks about current odds for tonight's NBA game. The agent queries The Odds API with sport key, region, and market type, returning head-to-head, spread, and totals lines from multiple bookmakers in a single response.

List Upcoming Events

Someone wants to know what games are on this weekend. The agent fetches live and upcoming events for any sport, including event IDs, team names, and start times, so users can browse the full schedule conversationally.

Get Event-Specific Odds

A user has a specific match in mind. The agent retrieves detailed odds for that event by ID, showing bookmaker-by-bookmaker lines for every available market. Perfect for comparing value across sportsbooks.

Check Live Scores

The agent pulls live and recently completed scores from The Odds API, filtered by sport and time window. Users get real-time score updates during in-play conversations without checking a separate scoreboard.

Browse Available Sports

What sports are currently in season? The agent retrieves the full list of available sports from The Odds API, including both in-season and optionally out-of-season leagues, helping users discover which markets are active.

Look Up Participants

A user wants to know which teams or players compete in a league. The agent fetches participant lists by sport key, returning team names and details for any supported competition worldwide.

Use Cases

Sports intelligence delivered in real time

Real scenarios where AI agents use The Odds API to deliver betting data, game schedules, and live scores to users through natural conversation.

Odds Comparison Across Bookmakers in Seconds

A user asks 'What are the best odds for the Chiefs game tonight?' Your AI Agent queries The Odds API for the event, pulls head-to-head odds from DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and other regional bookmakers, then presents a side-by-side comparison. The user spots the best line without logging into six different sportsbooks. Line shopping that used to take 15 minutes happens in one message.

Live Score Updates During In-Play Conversations

A user following the Premier League asks 'What is the score in the Arsenal match right now?' Your AI Agent fetches real-time scores from The Odds API filtered to soccer EPL and the current day. The user gets the live score, both teams, and game status immediately. They stay engaged in the conversation while tracking their match.

Weekend Sports Schedule at a Glance

A sports fan asks 'What NFL and NBA games are happening this weekend?' Your AI Agent queries events for both sport keys, compiles upcoming matches with start times and team matchups, and presents a clean schedule. The user plans their weekend viewing without checking multiple league apps. Event discovery becomes conversational.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent fetch odds from multiple bookmakers at once?

The agent calls The Odds API's Get Odds endpoint with sport key, regions (US, UK, EU, AU), and market types (h2h, spreads, totals). The API aggregates odds from all available bookmakers in the specified regions and returns them in a single response. The agent presents the comparison to the user.

What sports does The Odds API cover?

The Odds API covers 70+ sports and leagues worldwide including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League, La Liga, Champions League, UFC, tennis, golf, and more. The Get Sports endpoint returns all currently in-season sports, with an option to include out-of-season leagues.

What API credentials does Tars need for The Odds API?

Tars requires your Odds API key, which you generate from The Odds API developer portal. The key provides access to sports, events, odds, scores, and participants endpoints. API usage is metered by credits, with basic searches using 1 credit and advanced searches using 2.

Can the agent filter odds by specific bookmakers?

Yes. The bookmakers parameter accepts a comma-separated list of bookmaker keys like draftkings, fanduel, or bet365. The agent retrieves odds only from the specified books, useful when users have preferences or want to compare specific sportsbooks.

How current are the scores returned by the API?

Scores are updated in real time for live events. The Get Scores endpoint returns both live and recently completed game scores, with a daysFrom parameter to control the time window (0-3 days). Timestamps are available in ISO or Unix format.

Does Tars store sports betting data from The Odds API?

No. All odds, scores, and event data are fetched live from The Odds API during each conversation. Data is used to respond to the user's query and is not cached or stored on Tars servers. Each request returns the most current information available.

What odds formats are supported?

The Odds API supports decimal, American, and fractional odds formats via the oddsFormat parameter. The agent can present odds in whichever format the user prefers. Decimal is the default, but American format is standard for US sports bettors.

Can the agent retrieve odds for a single specific event?

Yes. The Get Event Odds endpoint accepts a specific eventId and sport key, returning detailed odds from all available bookmakers for just that event. This is more efficient than fetching all events when the user already knows which game they want.

“Powerful tool - and there's so much more still to explore!”
I love the flexibility of the TARS chatbot design tool. The ability to drop in a new gambit and easily de-link and re-link gambits before and after it saves HOURS of time lost if I had to regenerate from scratch. TARS stands out for its flexibility, consistent performance, and outstanding support.
