The Odds API is a popular, affordable global odds API. If your product is Australian-facing — AFL, NRL, local bookmakers and racing — PuntersEdge is a focused alternative with deeper AU coverage and a racing next-to-go endpoint, on the same simple REST/JSON model and a free key.
Free tier · 1,500 credits/mo · no credit card. 11 Australian bookmakers on racing — Sportsbet, TAB, TABtouch, Ladbrokes, Neds, Unibet, PointsBet, Betr, BetRight, Palmerbet and NextBet — and 6 on sports.

You're building a global product across many regions and US sportsbooks, and Australian depth or racing isn't central to your use case.
Your users are Australian, you need reliable AFL/NRL/local-bookmaker coverage and racing next-to-go, and you'd rather not stitch AU depth together yourself.
Live Australian odds from the public sandbox — no key, no signup, nothing to install.
Free key, REST/JSON, Australian bookmaker odds. No SDK required.
