SharpAPI included arbitrage detection from its $79 Hobby plan on 15 Nov 2026; OddsJam sells it by contract. novigapi.com's /arbitrage returns two-way arbitrage and middles across Novig, FanDuel and DraftKings with both legs, the stake split and the margin after Novig's fee, on Production ($149) and Scale.

Arbitrage windows close in seconds, so freshness and line matching decide whether a row is real. Check how a provider marks stale prices.

## Where novigapi.com falls short

> Three venues give far fewer arbs than a 25-book scan. Ours is most useful when Novig is one of your legs.

## Try it

```python
import os, requests

def nv(path, **params):
    r = requests.get("https://novigapi.com/api/v1/" + path, params=params, timeout=30,
                     headers={"Authorization": "Bearer " + os.environ["NOVIGAPI_KEY"]})
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()

for arb in nv("arbitrage", league="NFL", min_profit=0.5)["data"]:
    print(arb)
```

## Questions

### Do sportsbooks limit arbitrage bettors?

Often. An exchange leg such as Novig does not limit winning traders the same way, which is why it is a common hedge leg.
