On 15 Nov 2026 SharpAPI included +EV from Pro ($229 a month), Unabated edge calculations from $799, and OddsJam sold +EV by contract. novigapi.com compares FanDuel and DraftKings to Novig's fair price every 60 seconds: live from $49, the top 5 rows free 10 minutes late.

Every +EV feed is a fair-price model plus a list of book prices. The model is what you are buying: which sharp reference, how stale prices are filtered, and how lines are matched.

## Where novigapi.com falls short

> Our +EV covers two sportsbooks against one reference. SharpAPI's and Unabated's cover many books against blended sharp lines.

## Try it

```javascript
const nv = async (path, params = {}) => {
  const url = "https://novigapi.com/api/v1/" + path + "?" + new URLSearchParams(params);
  const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.NOVIGAPI_KEY}` } });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error(await res.text());
  return res.json();
};

const { data } = await nv("ev", { league: "NBA", min_edge: 2, sort: "ev" });
for (const r of data) console.log(r.ev_pct, r.book_name, r.book_american_text, r.side, r.line);
```

## Questions

### How is EV% computed?

EV% = fair probability x book decimal odds - 1, with the fair probability from the Novig book on the same line.
