How often does an NBA player go over his points line?
One row per game with a player's opening and closing points line, the price, what he scored and whether he went over. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander went over in 27 of 67.
Code verified October 13, 2026. One call to get_prop_history, 10 credits.
The call
player_id comes from search_players. Pass bookmaker for one book's close instead of the median across books. limit goes up to 200; next_from_date says where to continue.

print(games[["game_date", "open_line", "line", "actual", "result"]].tail(6).to_string(index=False))
# Overs and unders at each line the books set: a high line is not always a harder one.
print(games.groupby("line")["result"].value_counts().unstack(fill_value=0))
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your dashboard. Python needs requests and pandas (pip install requests pandas). JavaScript runs on Node 18 or newer, or in the browser.
