NCAAF
NCAAF API for Scores, Schedules, Odds & AI Agents
One event graph for college football — kickoff schedules, quarter-aware live scores, nine-book moneyline/spread/totals, Stage-1 raw team stats, and SP+/efficiency bet intelligence agents can reason over — without scraping a board.
Available data
Everything below filters on the stable slug sport=ncaaf (league ncaaf). Discover seasons with GET /v1/seasons?sport=ncaaf and teams with GET /v1/teams?sport=ncaaf.
| Layer | Endpoint | NCAAF notes |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule / board | GET /v1/events | sport=ncaaf; status, date, include_odds / include_scores |
| Live score | GET /v1/events/{id}/score · SSE | Periods 1–4 / OT; clock when available |
| Odds | GET …/odds · …/odds/history | Two-way h2h, spreads, totals · 9 books |
| Player props | GET …/player-props | Settleable yards / TD / receptions mains + live box progress |
| Splits | GET …/splits | Not available for NCAAF |
| Intelligence | GET …/intelligence | Seasonal points model · SP+/efficiency signals |
| Raw stats | GET …/stats | Stage-1 team context (record, form, H2H, rest, offense/defense rates) |
Schedules
List the slate with GET /v1/events?sport=ncaaf. Narrow by status (scheduled / inprogress / final), date or from/to (max 90 days per request), and paginate with after_id / limit.
Collapse round trips with include_odds=true or include_scores=true on the list or on GET /v1/events/{id}. Historical lookbacks work year-round; live intelligence is seasonal.
Scores
NCAAF score payloads use football period labels — "1"–"4" and "OT" — plus a game clock when the feed has it (e.g. "8:42").
- GET /v1/events?sport=ncaaf&status=inprogress&include_scores=true — Saturday board
- GET /v1/events/{id}/score — lightweight poll (~15s cache while live)
- GET /v1/events/{id}/stream — SSE event: score or signed webhooks
Cloneable pattern: live scoreboard use case (keep keys server-side).
Odds
NCAAF markets are two-way: moneyline (h2h), point spreads, and game totals. American odds integers; point is null on moneyline sides. Default single-book call is Pinnacle; bookmaker=all is the same 1 credit.
GET /v1/events/{id}/odds/history returns recorded price/point moves between ingest cycles — useful for steam and open→current deltas on college sides and totals. Game markets only — player props are a separate endpoint below.
Full bookmaker list and normalization notes: Sports Odds API.
Player props
GET /v1/events/{id}/player-props (1 credit when lines exist; available:false is free) joins persisted player-prop mains to this-event player box counts and grades over / under / push once the game is final. Same football catalog as NFL.
Market keys and which ones grade: player props catalog. Endpoint fields: API reference.
Intelligence
NCAAF uses the points-model intelligence shape (confidence, coverage, signals, validator, narrative/rationale, attribution) — seasonal. Bet tokens: ML_P1 / ML_P2 (home/away), SPREAD_P1 / SPREAD_P2, OVER / UNDER.
Signal columns map to college-football concepts with human labels in signals._labels — SP+/efficiency-style edges rather than NFL’s QB Edge labels. Always check available before reading bets — offseason and pre-pipeline games return free empty payloads.
No betting splits on NCAAF — pair intelligence with /odds and Stage-1 /stats on the same event ID.
Raw stats
GET /v1/events/{id}/stats returns Stage-1 NCAAF-native team context — same football catalog as NFL, scoped to ncaaf. Judgment stays on /intelligence. Check available. Fields: API reference — stats.
Sportsbooks
Odds keys: pinnacle, fanduel, draftkings, betmgm, caesars, bet365, circa, hardrock, betonline. Availability varies by event — check each bookmaker entry.
Examples
Upcoming NCAAF games with odds inlined:
curl "https://lumify.ai/v1/events?sport=ncaaf&status=scheduled&include_odds=true&limit=5" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
from lumify import Lumify client = Lumify(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") page = client.events.list( sport="ncaaf", status="scheduled", include_odds=True, limit=5, ) for event in page["events"]: print(event["id"], event["name"], event.get("odds"))
import { Lumify } from "@lumifyai/sdk"; const client = new Lumify({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" }); const { events } = await client.events.list({ sport: "ncaaf", status: "scheduled", includeOdds: true, limit: 5, }); events.forEach(e => console.log(e.id, e.name, e.odds));
Intelligence for a kickoff (1 credit when available):
curl "https://lumify.ai/v1/events/5102/intelligence" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
intel = client.events.intelligence(5102) if intel.get("available"): for bet in intel.get("bets") or []: print(bet["token"], bet.get("confidence_score"), bet.get("signals", {}).get("_labels"))
const intel = await client.events.intelligence(5102); if (intel.available) { for (const bet of intel.bets ?? []) { console.log(bet.token, bet.confidence_score, bet.signals?._labels); } }

FAQ
Filter with sport=ncaaf (league slug ncaaf) for schedules, live scores (quarters + clock), teams/players, multi-book moneyline/spread/totals, Stage-1 raw /stats, and seasonal bet intelligence (confidence, SP+/efficiency-style signals, rationale). Same event IDs across every layer. No public betting splits for NCAAF.
Analysis jobs self-skip when there is no slate — expect available: false on /intelligence outside the college football season. Schedules, historical events (90-day lookback per request), Stage-1 /stats, and odds history still work when data has been ingested.
Yes — the same football catalog as NFL on GET /player-props (passing/rushing/receiving yards and TDs, receptions, anytime TD). GET /odds stays moneyline/spread/totals. Raw /stats is Stage-1 team context (record, form, H2H, rest, offense/defense rates — football-native, scoped so college rates never mix with NFL). Market keys: /docs/player-props.
No. Public ticket%/handle% splits cover MLB/NBA/NHL/NFL only. For college football, pair /odds, Stage-1 /stats, and /intelligence on the same event IDs.
Use sport=ncaaf vs sport=nfl. Both expose schedules, scores, odds, Stage-1 football-native /stats, and seasonal points-model intelligence with P1/P2 bet tokens. NFL has betting splits and NFL-labeled signals (QB Edge, etc.); NCAAF uses SP+/efficiency-style signals and has no splits. NFL landing: /sports/nfl-api.
