Betting API Integration Services for Sportsbooks & Gaming Platforms

👥Audience

Who I Work With

I offer software development and API integration to:

• Licensed operators — Regulated sportsbooks and gaming platforms that need odds, data, or risk integrations.
• International sportsbooks — Many operators are licensed outside India; I provide development services to them.
• Technology teams — CTOs, product managers, and engineers who need reliable backend and data integration.
• Agencies — Dev shops and consultancies building or maintaining gaming platforms for their clients.

I do not operate, promote, or provide gambling services to end users or players. Software development and API integration are distinct from gambling operation.

🏆Expertise

Why Work With Me

I’ve spent years building API integrations for payments, healthcare, and e‑commerce—including WooCommerce payment gateway integration and high-volume webhook pipelines. That same discipline applies to sports betting API and odds API integration: schema validation on every payload, exponential backoff and circuit breakers, and clear logging so you can debug live issues fast.

I’m fluent in PHP (WordPress/WooCommerce plugins, background jobs, custom payment flows), Node.js (TypeScript, queues, real-time sockets), and MySQL—including WooCommerce HPOS and performance optimization for high-throughput order and bet data. I implement provider webhooks with signature verification and idempotency keys, and I respect rate limits so your account stays in good standing. For regulated markets I’ve wired geolocation and KYC flows so operators can prove compliance.

No lock-in: you get clean, documented code and handover notes so your team can maintain or extend the integration.

🏁Process

Typical Integration Workflow

1. 1Discovery 🎯— Confirm provider(s), endpoints, auth (API key, OAuth, certs), and whether you need REST, WebSocket, or webhooks.
2. 2Environment & credentials — Staging keys, IP allowlists, and webhook URLs. I use env-based config so secrets never ship in code.
3. 3Core client — HTTP client with retries, backoff, and rate-limit handling. Optional WebSocket client with reconnect and message ordering.
4. 4Data mapping — Normalize provider models (events, markets, odds) into your schema. Idempotent upserts for fixtures and prices.
5. 5Webhooks — Verify signatures, parse payloads, and process with idempotency keys. Return 2xx quickly; process async where possible.
6. 6Testing — Staging runs against sandbox or test data. I add logging and optional idempotency checks so you can audit in production.
7. 7Go-live 🏁— Switch to production credentials, monitor errors and latency, and hand over runbooks and docs.

Technical Appendix: Sample Integration

Minimal patterns for calling an odds API with retries and webhook handling. Replace base URL and keys with your provider’s.

PHP: Fetch odds with retry and backoff

<?php
function fetch_odds_with_retry(string $url, string $apiKey, int $maxAttempts = 3): array {
    $delay = 1;
    for ($attempt = 1; $attempt <= $maxAttempts; $attempt++) {
        $ch = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt_array($ch, [
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => ['X-API-Key: ' . $apiKey],
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT        => 30,
        ]);
        $body = curl_exec($ch);
        $code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        curl_close($ch);
        if ($code === 200 && $body !== false) {
            $data = json_decode($body, true);
            return is_array($data) ? $data : [];
        }
        if ($code === 429) $delay = min(60, $delay * 2); // rate limit
        else $delay = min(30, $delay * 2);
        if ($attempt < $maxAttempts) sleep($delay);
    }
    return [];
}

Node.js: Same with exponential backoff

async function fetchOddsWithRetry(url, apiKey, maxAttempts = 3) {
  let delay = 1000;
  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxAttempts; attempt++) {
    const res = await fetch(url, {
      headers: { 'X-API-Key': apiKey },
      signal: AbortSignal.timeout(30000),
    }).catch(() => null);
    if (res?.ok) return res.json();
    if (res?.status === 429) delay = Math.min(60000, delay * 2);
    else delay = Math.min(30000, delay * 2);
    if (attempt < maxAttempts) await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
  }
  return [];
}

Webhook handler (PHP): verify and respond fast

<?php
// Verify provider signature (example: HMAC-SHA256 in header)
$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$sig = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_WEBHOOK_SIGNATURE'] ?? '';
$expected = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, getenv('WEBHOOK_SECRET'));
if (!hash_equals($expected, $sig)) {
    http_response_code(401);
    exit;
}
http_response_code(200);
// Queue for async processing (e.g. push to Redis/DB) so response is fast
queue_webhook_job($payload);
