Updates

What's new in DunkAPI

New data, new tools and sharper models, newest first. For when each dataset last refreshed, see the data freshness page.

November 2026

  1. Alternate spreads and totals

    • get_alt_lines returns every point on each sportsbook's alternate spread (puck line, run line) and total ladder for a game, with its price.
    • NBA, WNBA and men's college basketball and the NHL from 2023-24, MLB from 2023, from up to five books, captured shortly before the start.
  2. Extra markets added every morning

    • get_market_odds now adds each game's lines the morning after it is played, so last night's games are there by about 09:30 UTC.
    • An empty answer for a game played in the last day and a half says when its lines arrive.
  3. Sharper win probability on every play

    • home_win_prob on get_plays and the win probability range in get_game come from our own model: a pregame edge from our team ratings, rest and who suited up, then the score, the clock and possession.
    • Better calibrated on held-out seasons, and on more games: NBA plays from 2004, the WNBA, and men's and women's college basketball.
  4. Cleaner, consistent play descriptions

    • Every play's description follows one consistent format, built from the play's own data: who did what, the result, and where on the field of play.
  5. Market probabilities and prop backtests

    • get_game_probabilities and get_prop_probabilities give the average implied and fair probability across books.
    • get_prop_backtest shows how often a kind of prop hit against what the market implied, with the sample, an interval and each season, filtered by player, team, opponent, home or away and favorite or underdog.
  6. Finals within the hour

    • Games go final with their score within about an hour of ending, instead of the next morning.
  7. Prop line movement

    • get_prop_movement shows how one player's prop line moved before a game, book by book.
  8. Australia's NBL

    • The NBL joins as a league: games, box scores, injuries and odds, with league: "nbl".
  9. Smarter player search

    • Player search finds names written other ways, and says which league holds a player.
  10. Combo props and half and quarter lines

    • Points + rebounds, points + assists and rebounds + assists, plus double-double and triple-double markets, each graded from the box score, in the NBA, the WNBA and men's college basketball.
    • get_market_odds adds opening and closing lines for half and quarter markets.
  11. Start from your assistant

    • Sign in from Claude or ChatGPT and start with 50 credits straight away; verify your email later.

October 2026

  1. Data timing, on every endpoint

    • Each endpoint's docs page shows when its data last refreshed, and a data timing page explains how each dataset is updated.
  2. A public status page

    • Uptime measured from outside our own infrastructure, at /status.
  3. Current rosters

    • Traded and newly signed players show their current team from the day they join, before their first box score.
  4. Richer injury reports

    • Each injury carries its status, the injury type, a short detail and the expected return date.
  5. Shot charts that match the official totals

    • NBA attempt counts leave out end-of-quarter heaves, which stopped counting as field goal attempts in 2025-26.
  6. Empty answers that explain themselves

    • When a query has nothing to return, the answer says why and what to try instead, and it isn't charged.
    • Self-serve password reset.
  7. Real opening lines

    • Game lines are captured every hour from four days before tip-off, so the opening line is the market's first price.
  8. Readable line movement

    • get_line_movement returns the captures where a line actually moved, so a full history reads at a glance. Every snapshot is still available.
  9. A Python client

    • An official Python client on PyPI.
  10. Connect by signing in

    • Claude and ChatGPT connect by signing in, with no key to copy.
    • An OpenAPI 3.1 spec at /openapi.json for every REST endpoint.
  11. Live player props and prop history

    • Player prop lines for upcoming NBA and men's college basketball games, captured before tip-off.
    • get_prop_history shows how a player did against his line, game by game.
  12. Player prop pages and a props board

    • A public page for each player's props and a board of today's lines.
  13. 500 free credits every month

    • Every account gets 500 free credits each month, with no card.
  14. Code-first guides

    • Step-by-step guides with code that runs against the live API.
  15. A decade of college basketball lines

    • Men's college basketball lines from 2013-14, at 4 to 10 books a game.
    • Opening and closing lines for women's college basketball.
