# REST API Overview - HTTP Endpoints for Sports Data

> OddsPapi REST API reference. HTTP endpoints for sports betting data snapshots, metadata retrieval, historical odds, and recovery workflows. Supports 8 languages.

The HTTP API complements WebSockets by providing:

* **Initial snapshots** (bootstrap your local state)
* **Recovery** after `snapshot_required`
* **Metadata** (sports, tournaments, bookmakers)
* **Backfills** (historical odds / CLV) when replay is not possible

If you only need realtime updates, WebSockets may be enough.

## Base URL & languages

All endpoints are prefixed with a language code:

* `https://v5.oddspapi.io/{lang}`

Examples:

* `https://v5.oddspapi.io/en/bookmakers`
* `https://v5.oddspapi.io/de/sports`

Available languages are: `en`, `es`, `fr`, `pt`, `de`, `it`, `ru`, `zh`.

For simplicity, the documentation is written in English.

## Rate limits

This API enforces request limits per `apiKey` per endpoint.

See **Rate Limits** for the authoritative limits and endpoint groups:

* `api-reference/rate-limits`
