• parlayapi_best_bets ~364 tokens
  What should I bet right now? Ranked +EV plays for a sport. The discovery counterpart to parlayapi_verdict: scans the whole board, grades every candidate with the same no-vig engine, keeps only bets that are +EV at a book the user can bet at, and ranks them by edge. Also returns edge
• parlayapi_best_line ~199 tokens
  Find the best (highest) price for each outcome across bookmakers. Useful for line-shopping bots. Returns one row per game / market / side with the bookmaker offering the best price. Args: sport_key: e.g. "baseball_mlb" market: h2h | spreads | totals bookmakers:
• parlayapi_book_coverage ~144 tokens

• parlayapi_checkout_link Moves money · ~195 tokens
  Request an owner-authenticated checkout URL or an email-link flow. A configured key is forwarded for the backend to verify account ownership. With no matching key, the backend returns an email-flow acknowledgement rather than a checkout URL. That response does not confirm email delivery
• parlayapi_consensus ~202 tokens
  Get consensus (average) odds across all bookmakers per market. Returns average, best, and worst price per (event, market, player, line), a sharp baseline for line-shopping. Soccer and other 3-way markets return separate home, draw, and away consensus rows. Args: sport_key:

• parlayapi_find_ev ~301 tokens
  Find positive-EV bets vs a sharp book's no-vig fair line. Compares every soft book's price against the no-vig fair probability derived from a sharp book (default Pinnacle); rows where a soft book offers better odds than the sharp fair price are +EV. Three-way soccer markets use a de
• parlayapi_find_middles ~363 tokens
  Find cross-book middle opportunities. A middle takes the Over at a low line on one book and the Under at a higher line on another, so a window of whole numbers cashes BOTH bets (e.g. Over 7.5 at one book, Under 9.5 at another means 8 or 9 wins both). Scans game totals, spreads, AND
• parlayapi_get_odds ~269 tokens
  Get game-level odds for a sport from all configured bookmakers. Args: sport_key: e.g. "baseball_mlb", "soccer_epl" markets: Comma-separated. h2h, spreads, totals. regions: us, us2, uk, eu, fr, au, ca, mx, latam, br, asia. Comma-separated for multiple. bookmakers:

• parlayapi_live_command_center ~161 tokens

• parlayapi_live_sports ~98 tokens
  List currently active live sports on the retail /live surface. No API key required. Returns sport keys plus live event and book counts so agents can discover what is active right now.
• parlayapi_magic_link ~117 tokens
  Email a magic-login link for an existing ParlayAPI account. Always returns ok=true regardless of whether the email exists, to prevent account enumeration. The user receives the link by email.
• parlayapi_parlay_verdict ~567 tokens
  Grade a multi-leg parlay: should you bet it, and at which book? Give 2 to 12 legs (each shaped like a parlayapi_verdict bet) and get the combined no-vig fair price, the single best BOOK to place the whole slip at (a real parlay is one slip, not best-of-each), the parlay's EV, the weakes
• parlayapi_set_bettable_books ~214 tokens
  Remember which books the user can bet at, so parlayapi_verdict scopes its best-price and shop recommendations to them automatically (no need to pass region/books every call). Call this once when a user tells you where they bet ("I'm in the US on DraftKings and FanDuel"). Pass region
• parlayapi_signup ~346 tokens
  Create a free-tier ParlayAPI account for the given email. Returns the API key, a magic-login URL the user can click to access their dashboard, and a Stripe upgrade URL. Idempotent: if the email already has an account, returns exists=true with the login URL only (the existing API key
• parlayapi_source_quality ~132 tokens
  Return public per-source freshness and quality metadata. No API key required. Use this to prove that rows are flowing from each source before choosing books for a customer workflow.
• parlayapi_verdict ~860 tokens
  Should I bet this? One-call verdict for a specific bet. Returns the no-vig fair price for the exact bet, the best available price and which book has it, how the user's price (if given) grades as EV, a line-shopping nudge, and a plain-English call: BET / LEAN / FAIR / PASS (or NO_DAT
