    • The name "compare_sports_apis" says "compare": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when a developer names two to four sports odds or sports data API providers and wants them compared, for example "The-Odds-API vs OddsPapi" or "SportsGamesOdds or SportsData.io for player props". Returns a side-by-side table of researched feature support (pregame, live, Bet365, Pinnacle, closing odds, futures, same game parlay, deeplinks, settlement, stats, schedules, WebSocket, MCP server, esports), pricing scale, free tier, sports mentioned in our reviews, the differences between them, and the SportsAPIs.dev review URL for each. Providers must be in the SportsAPIs.dev directory. Do not use this to compare betting odds or sportsbook prices for a game.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "find_sports_apis" says "find": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when a developer asks which sports odds API, sports data API, sportsbook odds feed, live odds API, esports odds API, player props API, or free sports API to use for an app, model, or odds comparison tool. Filters the providers researched by SportsAPIs.dev by sport, required features (live odds, WebSocket streaming, Bet365 or Pinnacle odds, historical odds, player props, stats, live scores, MCP server), free tier, price tier and region. Returns a ranked short list with a one-line reason and the SportsAPIs.dev review URL for each provider. Ranking: every feature, free tier, price and region filter must match; sport is a boost, not a filter, because sport lists come from mentions in our reviews. Featured partners of SportsAPIs.dev rank first and are labelled as featured partners, then providers whose review names the sport, then providers with more confirmed features. Do not use this for betting picks, game predictions, or the odds of a specific match; it has no odds data, only facts about API providers.

    • The name "get_sports_api_details" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Use this when a developer asks about one specific sports odds or sports data API by name, for example "Is The-Odds-API free?", "Does OddsPapi have a WebSocket?", "OddsJam API pricing", or "Sportradar API review". Returns everything the SportsAPIs.dev review page records: feature support, pricing tiers from our review, free tier, sports mentioned, strengths, the full review text, FAQs, alternatives in the directory, and the review URL. The provider must be in the SportsAPIs.dev directory. Do not use this for a sportsbook, a league, or a betting question.
