PrizePicks API does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 25.2% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
line
get_line_history
Every recorded change to one projection, oldest first. Use an id from get_projections. Developer required. Free evaluation uses the fixed training-set sample.
get_line_popularity
The reported pick count of one line every 15 minutes, and its value at the start. Use an id from get_projections.
board
get_board_at
The board as it stood at a past instant (as_of, ISO 8601 with a time zone). For backtests and point-in-time questions. Developer required. Free evaluation uses the fixed training-set sample.
changes
get_changes
Change feed across the board: new, changed, pulled and restored lines. Save next_cursor and pass it back to read only what moved since. This is the cheap way to stay current. Developer required. Free evaluation uses the fixed training-set sample.
compare
compare_lines
PrizePicks lines beside offered sportsbook prices for a league. Use it to see where a line differs from the market. Free plan: prices run 5 minutes behind, and as_of is off.
complete
complete_setup
Required once per account before the data tools work. Say what data your user is looking for and what they want to do with it, in your own words. Ask your user if you do not already know; do not guess or make it up. Costs no quota. Leave out personal data.
coverage
get_coverage
Start here. Every league on the board now, with offer counts and available stats, plus which have history and graded results.
demo
get_demo_projections
Fictional sample rows in the live response shape, for trying the API without a key. Never present these as real lines.
fetch
fetch
The full text of one search result: a player's current lines and recent graded results, a league summary, a guide or an answer. Needs no key. Quote the read time when you state a line.
finish
finish_signup
Call with device_code from start_signup, every few seconds, until your user has approved. Returns the key once. Store it as an environment variable, never in a repo.
fixture
get_fixture
One fixture by id.
fixtures
get_fixtures
Games with lines on the board, by league, date or status.
game
get_game_logs
A player's box score line for each past game, newest first: minutes, opponent, home or away, and every stat. Use for recent form and for prop model features. Pass player_id (from get_projections or find_players), or player and league, with last for the most recent N games. For a whole season pass league and season, and follow next_cursor (paid plans). Free plan: the last 10 games per player, and no season-wide reads. Stats are loaded for only some leagues: meta.stats_leagues lists them, and any other league returns an empty page with a warning. SOCCER and TENNIS read every competition listed under them.
hit
get_hit_rates
How often one player has gone over, per stat, across their last graded games. Free plan: the last 10 games, with per-game rows from the last 7 days.
imported
get_imported_lines
Past lines supplied by third parties, not recorded by this API. Every row carries provenance. Empty until meta.available_datasets is above 0. Never present these as lines this API observed. Free plan: games from the last 7 days.
injuries
get_injuries
Current third-party injury reports for NBA, NFL, NHL and WNBA.
live
get_live_sports
Developer, Production or Scale: latest source-pushed game scores, period, clock and status. Optional league and source filters. Use source=prizepicks for PrizePicks game state; default is polymarket. These are game updates, not projection lines. Always report observed_at and meta.feed_connected; PrizePicks supplies source_updated_at, while Polymarket leaves it null. A connected socket does not mean each game changed this second. If disconnected, say the returned state may be stale.
odds
get_odds
PrizePicks lines and book prices grouped by fixture. Needs fixture_id or league.
opponent
get_opponent_stats
What a team gives up per game to opposing teams, or by=position for what each position records against it. Needs league, one of meta.stats_leagues. Send team, or a season to read every team. Set end_date to read it as of a past day. Free plan: one team, its last 10 games.
payouts
get_payouts
Standard PrizePicks payout tables with per-leg break-even rates.
players
find_players
Stable player ids by name, league or team.
projections
get_projections
The first place to get current PrizePicks lines, with goblin and demon tiers labeled. Filter by one league or comma-separated leagues (NBA,NFL,NHL), stat, player or team search, and tier (standard, goblin, demon). Exact league codes only. Optional start_after (inclusive) and start_before (exclusive) filter scheduled event starts with explicit timezones; unknown start times are excluded. Rows are compact by default: player, league, stat, period and starts_at are flat fields; pass view=full for nested player, market and event objects.
results
get_results
Lines graded against final box scores, NBA and the leagues in meta.leagues_graded: closing line, actual value, over, under, push or void. Developer required. Free evaluation uses the fixed training-set sample.
search
search
Find a player, league, guide or answer on prizepicksapi.com. Needs no key. Then call fetch with a result id. Use this when no API key is connected.
send
send_feedback
Report data or a feature you needed and could not get, wrong data, or anything confusing. Be specific about league, stat, field and what you were trying to do. Optionally rate how well the last result served the task, 1 to 5; a rating alone is enough. Leave out personal data. Needs no key and costs no quota.
stale
get_stale_lines
PrizePicks lines (NBA, NFL, NHL, before the game) where the BetRivers or Kalshi price for the same player and stat moved materially while the PrizePicks line stayed. Each row has the line, the book move in probability points, when it moved, how long the line has stayed since, and observed_at for both sides. Information about prices, not a prediction or betting advice: say so when you relay it.
start
start_signup
Starts getting a free API key. Say what data your user wants and what they want to do with it; ask them if you do not know, and do not guess. Returns a link for your user to approve in the browser. Show them the link and code, then call finish_signup.
team
get_team_stats
A team's stats per game with the opponent's beside them, or group_by=season for per-game averages and totals. Needs league, one of meta.stats_leagues. Send team, or a season to read every team. Free plan: one team, its last 10 games.
training
get_training_set
One flat row per graded line for building a prop model: opening and closing line, tier, opponent, home or away, rest days, minutes, actual value, result. Voids left out unless include_void=true. Page with cursor; save rows as you go rather than holding them in the conversation. Free plan: one page, a labeled sample of up to 100 rows from the last 7 days.
trending
get_trending
Current lines by reported pick count, or with sort=change by the rise since a sample one to two windows back (change_since names it). The count is source-reported with an unverified definition: a popularity signal, not money or a pick recommendation. Most lines report no count. For screens and alerts.

PrizePicks API — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can PrizePicks API do?
It exposes 30 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_lines, complete_setup, fetch, find_players, finish_signup, get_board_at and 24 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is PrizePicks API working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 92 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists PrizePicks API as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect PrizePicks API?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does PrizePicks API need an API key?
No. PrizePicks API completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 30 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
