Odds widget
Description
The odds widget shows specific coefficients, for a specific game and market, from a specific bookmaker.
It’s a contextual widget used by companies because it creates additional advertising space they can use to reach their audience and complement their banner advertising.
The widget displays 1X2, Double Chance, and additional markets.
Note that odds dynamically change when the bookmaker updates them.
Also, we have the ability to deep link. This means that if we work with a provider, we can make it so that when a user clicks on a particular coefficient, we can prefill the bookmaker’s betslip.
Bind the widget to HTML DOM
Make sure that you have the loader already set up on your website.
If not, follow our guide:
You can bind the widget to the HTML DOM by two ways:
- Bind the widget without initial options. The required attribute here is "data-widgetId"
<div data-widgetId="odds-listing"></div>
- Bind the widget with initial options. All available options can be seen below
<div data-widgetId="odds-listing" data-options='{...}'></div>
- The "data-options" attribute:
{
int eventId, -> // Unique identifier of the resource.
string lang -> // The language which the widget with work with. Currently, the widget works with the following
// languages: "bg", "ro", "en", "tr", "de", "it", "pt", "ro", "hu", "sr", "el".
// The language property is also passed to the API with the "Accept-Language" header
string oddClient -> // Identifies the client for which to return filtered bookmakers with affiliate URLs.
// Without the parameter, can not sort odd_providers or provide affiliate links.
// Instead, it will sometimes give a 'coupon' key with the odds fo building URLs. header
// NB! This option is mandatory; otherwise, the odds won\'t be displayed
int[] oddProviders -> // A list of indexes for the oddProviders list received from the back-end
// Only the providers with the given index in the array will be displayed in the widget.
// Example: oddProviders: [0, 2]
// Back-end response: oddProviders: [ {name: Bwin, ...}, {name: betwin, ...}, {name: bet365, ...}]
// Only the given odd providers will be displayed: Bwin and bet365
int[] oddProviderIds -> // A list of ids, these ids are odd provider ids. This option is responsible
// for displaying only odd providers with the ids that are added in the given array.
// If oddProviders and oddProviderIds options are both provided, the oddProviderIds option will be used only, as it is with a higher priority.
string apiURL -> // The URL of the API for football information
string apiKey -> // The key for the authorization header, which will be base64 encoded
boolean displayMatchHeader -> // Displays/Hides the Match Header
string watchLiveUrl -> // URL for the live streaming of the match (opens in a new tab when clicked)
// If this option is not passed to the widget, the live URL element will be hidden.
// This option is only valid if the 'displayMatchHeader' option is activated (e.g., displayMatchHeader: true)
obj market -> The default market and value (value is used only for over/under market) to display. If the market is not set, the default market
will be '1x2'.
Available market names: "1x2", "overUnder", "both_score", "double_chance"

to populating the betslip widget.

// the market dropdown won\'t be displayed
