Umbrella tokens (football):
over_underandasian_handicapare umbrella market tokens β pass either as--marketand it expands at scrape time to every line OddsPortal actually renders for that match (e.g.over_under_1_5_market,over_under_2_5_market, β¦), instead of listing each line by hand.
Cricket: OddsPortal does not currently publish a per-bookmaker odds table for cricket, so cricket scraping returns match metadata (teams, league, score, result) with an empty odds list. The
home_awaymarket is wired and will populate if OddsPortal adds cricket odds.
100+ leagues supported across all sports: Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, ATP/WTA Grand Slams, and many more.
OddsHarvester has four commands: upcoming, historic, live, and community. They share most options, with a few command-specific ones.
Scrape odds for upcoming matches β by date, by league, or by specific match URL.
# By date
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20250301 -m 1x2 --headless
# By league (scrapes all upcoming matches for that league)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -l england-premier-league -m 1x2,btts --headless
# Multiple leagues
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -l england-premier-league,spain-laliga -m 1x2 --headless
# Specific match URLs (repeat the flag; works for past matches too)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football --match-link "https://www.oddsportal.com/football/..." -m 1x2
# Preview mode (faster β best/highest odds only, no individual bookmakers)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20250301 -m over_under --preview-only --headless
# Only matches kicking off within the next 6 hours (fewer requests)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -l england-premier-league -m 1x2 --kickoff-within-hours 6 --headless
# Collect links plus kickoff only (fixture plan; no odds scraped)
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20250301 --links-only -f csv -o upcoming_links.csvScrape historical odds and results for past seasons.
# Single league & season
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2022-2023 -m 1x2 --headless
# Current season
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season current -m 1x2 --headless
# Limit pagination

# Output as CSV
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2024-2025 -m 1x2 -f csv -o premier_league_odds --headless
# Umbrella market β expands to every Over/Under line rendered on the page
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2023-2024 --market over_under -f csvTake a one-shot snapshot of matches currently in play, with per-bookmaker in-play odds.
# Every live match for a sport
oddsharvester live -s tennis -m match_winner --headless
# Restricted to one league
oddsharvester live -s football -l england-premier-league -m 1x2 --headless
# Re-sample one known match without reloading the listing
oddsharvester live -s football --match-link "https://www.oddsportal.com/football/..." -m 1x2 --headless
# Collect live match links only
oddsharvester live -s football --links-only -o live_links.json --headlessEach record carries the usual match metadata plus live context: live_period
(the period marker exactly as the site displays it, so it is sport-specific:
4' or Half-time in football, 1st Set in tennis, 9th Inning in baseball), live_score_home,
live_score_away, live_score_raw (keeps compound formats such as
0:1 (3:6, 4:2)), and scraped_at_utc, which is what makes a series of
snapshots comparable.
Notes:
- Zero live matches is a normal outcome: the command prints a message and exits 0 without writing a file.
- Matches that end between listing and scrape are dropped, so a snapshot only ever contains genuinely live matches.
- In-play bookmaker coverage is thinner than pre-match (often 2 to 4 bookmakers instead of 15 to 20) and varies by region.
--odds-historyand--periodare rejected: the in-play view exposes neither.- For repeated sampling, schedule the command externally (cron or similar).
Keep at least 60 seconds between snapshots, and prefer
--match-linkto re-sample a known match without re-reading the listing. The command itself never refreshes a page, which keeps its request profile identical toupcoming.
Scrape OddsPortal Community data. community has three mutually-exclusive modes; exactly one is required:
- Top predictions (
--sport): the most-voted community picks for the next 7 days. - User profile (
--user <username>): a tipster's stats, monthly performance and recent predictions. - Match community votes (
--match-url <url>): per-market community vote volume for a single match.
# Top predictions for a sport
oddsharvester community -s football --headless
# Write to a named JSON file
oddsharvester community -s football -f json -o top_predictions.json --headlessEach record contains the match (home_team, away_team, match_url, kickoff, plus the raw kickoff_text label kept as fallback when the date token fails to parse), the league (sport, country, league), the voted market, best odds per outcome (odds), the community vote split (community_votes_pct), and scraped_at.
- OddsPortal surfaces ~10 picks per sport (no pagination) with rounded percentages.
- Pre-match only: OddsPortal drops community data from finished-match pages, so build longitudinal datasets by scraping while matches are still upcoming.
oddsharvester community --user BLAPRO --headlessEmits one record: header (username, roi_pct, member_since, country, privacy), the
monthly statistics table (month, total_predictions, won, lost, plus_minus,
roi_pct, incl. a Total row), and the rendered predictions batch. Each prediction has
market, home_team/away_team, score (when finished), and a positional outcomes list
of {odds, community_pct, picked} plus pick_odds. Most profiles are private: a private
profile returns the header only (privacy: "private", empty stats/predictions) and exits 0.
oddsharvester community --match-url "https://www.oddsportal.com/football/h2h/.../" --headlessEmits one record with per-market community vote volume: markets[] of {market, scope, handicap, betting_type_id, scope_id, total_votes, outcome_counts}, most-voted first, plus
top_community_pick. Pre-match only (OddsPortal drops community data from finished matches).
Limitations: --match-url outcome vote counts are unlabeled: OddsPortal obfuscates the
per-outcome ids, so only per-market volume, the count distribution, and the single aggregate
pick are recoverable. --user captures the first rendered predictions batch (no deep
pagination) and does not emit per-prediction win/loss (use the monthly stats table).
| Option | Short | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
--sport |
-s |
Sport to scrape (football, tennis, basketball, etc.) |
required |
--date |
-d |
Target date in YYYYMMDD format |
β |
--league |
-l |
Comma-separated league slugs (e.g. england-premier-league) |
β |
--market |
-m |
Comma-separated markets (e.g. 1x2,btts) |
β |
--match-link |
Specific match URLs, comma-separated and/or repeated. Skips listing pages; --date/--league/--season are then ignored |
β | |
--match-links-file |
File with match URLs to scrape, one per line. Combines with --match-link; duplicates are dropped |
β |
--match-link usage: --sport is still required. Prefer upcoming over historic for arbitrary match URLs: match links bypass the listing pages entirely, so upcoming also works for matches already played, while historic would additionally demand a --season it never uses. For large link sets (a --links-only output, re-running failures), prefer --match-links-file: a pasted command line gets silently truncated by the terminal past a few hundred URLs.
upcoming only: --date is required unless --league or --match-link is provided. --date and --league can be combined to filter the league's upcoming matches down to a specific calendar day. When combining both, the reference timezone for resolving the date is --timezone if provided, otherwise UTC. --kickoff-within-hours N keeps only matches starting within N hours from now; the filter runs during link collection, so far-off matches are never visited. It pairs with the default upcoming-only behaviour to bound the window on both sides, and uses --timezone (else UTC) as the reference clock. Combined with --links-only, each row also carries kickoff_utc, so a scheduler can plan a day of fixtures from one listing request instead of re-fetching the listing on every cycle.
historic only:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--season |
Comma-separated seasons to scrape (YYYY, YYYY-YYYY, or current). Scraped as the cartesian product with --league. Duplicates are ignored. |
required |
--max-pages |
Max number of result pages to scrape. Applies per league/season combo, not per run. | unlimited |
live only: no --date and no --season; the command always reads whatever is in
play at the moment it runs. --league accepts at most one slug. --odds-history and
--period are rejected outright, because the in-play view exposes neither. A
--match-link given in classic form is normalized to its in-play URL automatically, so
either form works. When every match fails to scrape the command exits non-zero, which is
what lets a scheduled sampler tell a blocked run apart from a genuinely empty one.

Output file path | scraped_data |
--append |
Append to the output file instead of overwriting it (--no-append to opt out explicitly) |
--no-append |

--links-only |
Collect match links only, without scraping odds (--no-links-only to opt out explicitly) |
--no-links-only |

Add venue-local kickoff time to each record (--no-local-kickoff to opt out explicitly). Distinct from --timezone |
--no-local-kickoff |
Breaking change: every output row now carries a
seasoncolumn. For odds rows it is inserted directly aftermatch_date;--links-onlyrows have nomatch_dateand carryseasonalongside the other link fields instead. It holds the scraped season forhistoricand is empty forupcomingand--match-linkruns. Appending to a file produced by an earlier version yields a file with two different column layouts, so start a new output file rather than appending across the upgrade.
Breaking change:
upcoming --links-onlyrows now carry akickoff_utccolumn, appended at the end. Appending to a file produced by an earlier version yields a file with two different column layouts, so start a new output file rather than appending across the upgrade.historicandlivelinks-only rows are unchanged.
| Option | Short | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
--headless |
Run browser in headless mode | False |
|
--concurrency |
-c |
Concurrent scraping tasks | 3 |
--request-delay |
Delay (sec) between match requests | 1.0 |
|
--user-agent |
Custom browser user agent | β | |
--locale |
Browser locale (e.g. fr-BE) |
β | |
--timezone |
Browser timezone (e.g. Europe/Brussels) |
β | |
--base-url |
Scrape a regional OddsPortal mirror instead of www.oddsportal.com (e.g. https://www.centroquote.it). Page structure is identical; only the domain changes. Regional mirrors may expose a different/larger set of bookmakers. Recommended: pair with --locale/--timezone matching the region. Env var: OH_BASE_URL. |
β |
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--proxy-url |
Proxy URL (http://... or socks5://...). Repeatable β pass it multiple times to rotate per-match scraping round-robin across proxies. Each URL may embed credentials (scheme://user:pass@host:port). |
--proxy-user |
Proxy username. Applies only when a single --proxy-url without embedded credentials is given; ignored (with a warning) if multiple proxies are passed. |
--proxy-pass |
Proxy password. Same single-proxy restriction as --proxy-user. |
Tip: For best results, match
--localeand--timezoneto your proxy's region.
Multi-proxy example β spread scraping across three proxies with embedded credentials:
oddsharvester historic --sport football --league england-premier-league --season 2013-2014 \
--market 1x2 --concurrency 6 \
--proxy-url http://user:pass@p1.example.com:8000 \
--proxy-url http://user:pass@p2.example.com:8000 \
--proxy-url http://user:pass@p3.example.com:8000Matches are dispatched round-robin across the proxies; a proxy that fails 3 times in a row (navigation/rate-limit errors) is dropped from rotation and the run continues on the survivors.
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--target-bookmaker |
Filter odds for a specific bookmaker | β |
--odds-history |
Include historical odds movement per match | False |
--odds-format |
Odds display format | Decimal Odds |
--preview-only |
Fast mode β best/highest odds, no bookmaker details | False |
--bookies-filter |
Bookmaker filter: all, classic, or crypto |
all |
--period |
Match period (sport-specific: full-time, halves, etc.) | sport default |
Preview Mode vs Full Mode
| Aspect | Full Mode | Preview Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slower (interactive) | Faster (passive) |
| Data | All submarkets + bookmakers | Visible submarkets + best odds |
| Bookmakers | Individual bookmaker odds | Best/highest odds only |
| Odds History | Available | Not available |
| Structure | By bookmaker | By submarket (best odds) |
Preview mode (--preview-only) is useful for quick exploration, testing data format, or light monitoring with reduced resource usage. It reads the collapsed submarket row β the single best/highest price OddsPortal shows per line, not a per-bookmaker breakdown and not a computed average (see docs/agentic-gotchas.md Β§12).
For large runs it can be safer to collect all match links first, then scrape odds per link and re-run only the failures (see issue #75):
# Pass 1 - collect the season's match links (no odds scraped)
oddsharvester historic -s football -l england-premier-league --season 2022-2023 \
--links-only -f csv -o links.csv
# Pass 2 - scrape odds from the collected links (--append fills recovered failures)
tail -n +2 links.csv | cut -d, -f1 | sort -u > links.txt
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -m 1x2 -f csv -o odds.csv --append \
--match-links-file links.txtOn upcoming, the same pass 1 doubles as a fixture plan: one listing request
returns every match of the day with its kickoff, so a scheduler can decide
offline which matches are close enough to be worth scraping.
# Plan the day's fixtures: links plus kickoff, no odds scraped
oddsharvester upcoming -s football -d 20260731 --links-only -f csv -o upcoming_links.csvOutput rows contain match_link, sport, league, and season (date and kickoff_utc for upcoming; live emits neither), in the site's listing order. kickoff_utc holds the match's own kickoff in UTC, in the same shape as match_date (2026-07-31 18:30:00 UTC), and is empty when the listing exposes no parseable kickoff. Under the default upcoming-only behaviour that means the date header could not be read, the row had no time-item element, or its clock text was not HH:MM; with --include-started, live rows still come back empty, since their clock is replaced by a period marker; postponed, cancelled, and most finished rows keep the clock instead, giving a populated kickoff_utc with the originally scheduled kickoff. Options that only affect odds scraping (--market, --period, --odds-history, --preview-only, --target-bookmaker, --bookies-filter) are ignored when --links-only is set. --links-only cannot be combined with --match-link.
--season and --league both accept comma-separated lists. historic scrapes every combination as the cartesian product, sequentially, league outer and season inner, so output stays grouped and deterministic. --max-pages applies per combo, not per run.
# Several seasons of one league
oddsharvester historic --sport football --league england-premier-league \
--season 2020-2021,2021-2022,2022-2023 --links-only --format csv --output links.csv
# Cartesian product: every league by every season
oddsharvester historic --sport football \
--league england-premier-league,spain-laliga \
--season 2021-2022,2022-2023 --links-only
# A league that changed season format mid-history: pass both formats and
# let the invalid pairs report zero
oddsharvester historic --sport football --league russia-premier-league \
--season 2010,2010-2011,2011,2011-2012 --links-onlyNo pre-filtering is attempted to figure out which (league, season) pairs are valid before scraping them; a wrong-format pair (e.g. 2010 for a league that only ever used 2010-2011) is simply scraped and returns zero links. That is normal, not an error: OddsPortal returns HTTP 200 for a dead season URL, so the only way to tell a valid combo from an invalid one is to scrape it and count the results (see docs/agentic-gotchas.md Β§15). When more than one combo runs, an end-of-run table lists each league/season pair with its count, then reports how many combos returned nothing and how many errored. A zero-count combo does not affect the exit code; only errored combos are worth re-running.
--local-kickoff adds two fields to each record: venue_timezone (the venue's IANA timezone id) and match_date_venue_local (the kickoff converted to that timezone, with an explicit offset), e.g. 2022-05-01 16:00:00 BST+0100. match_date stays UTC; the two fields are additive and only appear when the flag is set.
Resolution is best-effort from the record's venue country/town. Single-timezone countries resolve by country; USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, and Australia resolve by host city instead. A venue that can't be resolved gets null for both fields.
Not compatible with --links-only (no match pages are visited, so there's no venue to resolve). Distinct from --timezone, which sets the browser's context timezone and does not affect the output fields.
If you --append onto an existing CSV file, the header is frozen on the first write, so start a fresh file when you turn the flag on.
OddsPortal strikes through a price when that bookmaker has stopped offering the bet. Each per-bookmaker odds record then carries a blocked_outcomes field listing which outcomes are struck through, using the same labels as the odds themselves:
{
"bookmaker_name": "Unibet.fr",
"1": "1.32",
"X": "4.55",
"2": "6.10",
"blocked_outcomes": ["1", "X", "2"]
}The labels are the market's own, so they differ per market: 1 / X / 2 for 1X2, odds_over / odds_under for Over/Under, and so on.
The field is always collected, with no flag to enable, and is omitted entirely when nothing is blocked, so records for available odds are unchanged. Odds values are kept exactly as rendered: a struck-through price is still the last price that bookmaker showed. A bookmaker with no price at all renders - and is not flagged, so "no odds" and "blocked" stay distinguishable.
