# Haterpicks App HaterPicks API (HaterAPI)

The HaterPicks API returns live Australian sports-betting odds, merged and de-duplicated across Australian bookmakers. An agent lists game lines such as head-to-head, totals, and spreads, pulls player-prop markets for a sport, and on higher plans lists positive-expected-value opportunities, cross-bookmaker arbitrage, and prices a same-game multi across bookmakers. A describe operation and a bookmaker desk-feed enquiry round out the surface.

## For AI agents

List live Australian sports odds merged across bookmakers, pull player props, and find positive-EV and arbitrage opportunities or price a same-game multi.

## Scope

Does not handle placing bets, settling wagers, or managing a betting account. Use for reading Australian sports odds, value, arbitrage, and same-game-multi prices only.

## Capabilities

- List live odds merged and de-duplicated across Australian bookmakers
- Pull player-prop markets for a single sport
- List positive-expected-value player-prop opportunities
- List cross-bookmaker arbitrage opportunities
- Price a same-game multi across bookmakers

## Use cases

### Odds Aggregation Feed

An agent pulls one clean view of Australian sports odds instead of scraping each bookmaker. It lists odds for the game lines it cares about, head-to-head, totals, and spreads, already merged and de-duplicated across bookmakers. This gives a betting tool a single source for current prices without maintaining a scraper per site.

Example prompt: Call the odds operation and return the head-to-head prices for a given match across bookmakers

### Value and Arbitrage Scanning

An agent scans for edges across bookmakers. On the plans that expose them, it lists positive-expected-value player-prop opportunities and cross-bookmaker arbitrage, then surfaces the ones above a chosen edge to an operator. Because EV and arbitrage are separate operations, the agent runs whichever the current plan supports.

Example prompt: List positive-EV opportunities and return those whose edge is above a given percentage

### Same-Game Multi Pricing

An agent prices a same-game multi before a user commits to it. It sends the legs to the same-game-multi quote operation and reads back a merged price across bookmakers. This lets a tool show a combined price for a multi without the user pricing each leg by hand.

Example prompt: Send a set of same-game-multi legs to the quote operation and return the combined price

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring HaterPicks by hand means choosing between a bearer token and an x-api-key header, knowing which endpoints are open, and handling markets gated by plan. Through Jentic you install once, import HaterPicks from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** HaterPicks takes its parameters in the request rather than a resource id in the URL, so a rule bounds which operations your agent may call, not which market it reads. You choose the read operations it may use, such as listing odds and props, so the same-game-multi quote operation stays off until you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your HaterPicks credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list live sports odds' or 'find arbitrage opportunities', and Jentic returns the matching HaterPicks operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the HaterPicks API use?

Per its OpenAPI spec, the HaterPicks API accepts either a bearer token in the Authorization header or an x-api-key header, while the describe and waitlist endpoints are open. Through Jentic the credential is stored by your own self-hosted instance and injected when the agent calls a data operation, so it never appears in the agent's prompt or logs.

### Can I get merged Australian bookmaker odds with the HaterPicks API?

Yes. The odds operation returns live game lines, such as head-to-head, totals, and spreads, already merged and de-duplicated across Australian bookmakers, so an agent reads one clean set of prices rather than scraping each site. Higher plans add player props, positive-EV opportunities, arbitrage, and same-game-multi pricing.

### What are the rate limits for the HaterPicks API?

The OpenAPI spec does not state a numeric rate limit, and some operations are gated by plan rather than by request volume. Add backoff around 429 responses, and check the HaterPicks documentation at https://www.haterpicks.app for current limits and plan tiers.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the HaterPicks API?

Yes. HaterPicks takes its query parameters in the request, not a resource id in the URL path, so a rule bounds which operations your agent may call rather than which market it reads. You choose that it may list odds and player props while the same-game-multi quote operation stays off until you add it, and every call it makes is logged.

### Is there a HaterPicks MCP server?

You do not need an MCP server to give your agent the HaterPicks API. Jentic connects it directly from the Jentic API Directory: import HaterPicks, store your key once, and your agent calls the odds and arbitrage operations on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.

### How do I read live odds with the HaterPicks API through Jentic?

Search Jentic by intent such as 'list live sports odds', and Jentic returns the HaterPicks odds operation with its input schema so the agent sends the right query. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo with `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh`, then add HaterPicks from the directory.
