The Odds API V4 and Oddswire's private pilot use different request and identity conventions. Review the contracts before translating an application.
| Integration concern | The Odds API V4 documentation | Oddswire private pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | apiKey request parameter | X-API-Key header |
| Event identity | Provider sport keys and event IDs | Explicit namespace, fixture identity, and native provenance |
| Market identity | Keys such as h2h, spreads, totals | Market family, period, line, outcome, and source settlement identity |
| Metering | Odds-query cost depends on requested markets and regions | One credit per completed metered response page |
Plan the crosswalk
Preserve each provider's identifiers. Review participants, kickoff, orientation, market period, lines, and settlement before approving a correspondence. A shared market name does not establish the same contract.
Access before cutover
The Odds API publishes its own signup and product terms. Oddswire source-data access requires account and source-use approval. Review current permissions and source-use scope before any migration.
