Odds API by market / MLS
MLS First Goal Scorer API
Live first_goal_scorer odds across every book that posts it, in one REST call — and, unlike any other odds API, every one of those outcomes settled against the official result once play ends.
No credit card. 1,000 requests / day on the free tier.
What MLS first goal scorer is
Who scores the opening goal of the match. The longest-priced player market in soccer, and one of the few that a substitution can kill outright.
How we settle it. Graded from the match's key-events timeline rather than the final statistics, because only the timeline says which goal came first.
Every number on this page is measured against the live API, never copied from a spec sheet. Last measured 6 October 2026.
Books posting MLS first goal scorer
Measured live, not listed from a spec. Coverage moves — a book that has not put its board up yet will not appear until it does, which is exactly what this list is for.
Line shopping across all of them is one request — every book arrives in the same bookmakers array, not one call per book. Add ?bookmakers= to narrow it, or use /best-line for the best price per line already ranked.
Recently settled MLS first goal scorer outcomes
These are real rows out of the API, not an illustration. Each one was a price on a board before the event and carries the actual figure it was graded against afterwards. No other odds API returns that last column — they stop at the price.

Hit rate, last 21 days
3.3% of 4724 settled first goal scorer legs hit (156 yes, 4568 no). Counted on the YES side only — books that price this two-way contribute their Over leg, not both. That is the base rate across the whole priced field, not a per-player figure.
Read off 4,724 YES legs out of 7,373 settled outcomes on this market. The rest are the Under side from books that price it two-way, which answers a different question.
Per-player hit rates and L5 / L10 / L20 splits live on /trends.
Live response
Captured from the real endpoint on Vancouver Whitecaps @ Chicago Fire, trimmed to one book and three outcomes so the shape stays readable. The full response carries every book and every line, alternates included, in the same call.
