Yes. novigapi.com's /arbitrage endpoint returns two-way arbitrage across Novig, FanDuel and DraftKings with both legs, the stake split for 100 units and the guaranteed margin, or middles where lines differ. It is on Production ($149) and Scale, refreshed every 60 seconds (checked 15 Nov 2026). (Source: [novigapi.com pricing](https://novigapi.com/pricing))

An exchange makes arbitrage practical: you can take the other side at a known price instead of waiting for a second sportsbook to misprice. Novig's taker fee is part of the margin math.

## Where novigapi.com falls short

> Three venues is a small universe: most arbitrage appears across many sportsbooks, which SharpAPI (from $79) and others scan. Ours suits traders who already use Novig as one leg.
