There are three Novig-specific sources and several general odds feeds. Checked 12 Nov 2026, Novig's official API needs an account and signed requests, its free CSVs at data.novig.com start on 3 Aug 2026, and feeds such as SharpAPI carry Novig from $79 a month. novigapi.com is the read-only, no-account option with intraday history.

Which source fits depends on one question: do you need to trade, or only to read? Trading means the official Novig API. Reading has more options, from free daily files to multi-book odds feeds. Here is how they line up, with each provider's own claims.

## Questions to ask before you pick

- Do you need to place orders? Only the official Novig API can.
- Do you need names? The CSVs carry IDs and reportTicker only; every feed and novigapi.com resolves names.
- How fresh? Daily files, minutes on free feed tiers, seconds on paid ones; check each provider's stated delay.
- How far back? Novig's own files start 3 Aug 2026; feeds vary by plan, and TheRundown requires written permission for backtesting.
- Can you redistribute? Check each provider's terms; TheRundown's free and Starter plans are for internal or personal use.

## Who should use which

- **Official Novig API**: the only way to place orders and see your own positions. Use it if you trade.
- **data.novig.com**: free, authoritative, every trade. Use it for daily research if you can join IDs yourself.
- **novigapi.com**: Novig only, read-only, no Novig account, names resolved, intraday line history and fair prices, plus an MCP server for AI agents.
- **OpticOdds and PredictionData**: enterprise breadth across hundreds of books, sold through sales.
- **SharpAPI**: +EV and no-vig fields across several books from $79 a month. Its Novig page still describes direct Novig access as undocumented, which predates docs.novig.com.
- **SportsGameOdds, OddsPapi, TheRundown**: self-serve multi-book feeds with free tiers, good for comparing Novig with sportsbooks.

For most readers the answer is a pair: the official API or the daily files for authority, plus one read layer for convenience. A sharp bettor checking Novig prices against sportsbooks wants a multi-book feed. A model builder who needs Novig depth and intraday moves wants novigapi.com. A trader running a bot needs the official API whatever else they use.

## Verdict

If you need many books, a general odds feed is the right buy and Novig comes along as one column. If you need Novig itself in depth, the official API and CSVs are the source, and novigapi.com is the read-only layer for people who want that depth without an account, signing or a daily join. Start with the free tier at [novigapi.com](https://novigapi.com/novig-api).
