NBA Stats vs Oddsmagnet

"NBA Stats" refers to stats.nba.com, the unofficial internal API that powers NBA.com's own statistics pages rather than a published, supported product -- there's no official developer signup or docs, and its former any-api.com docs mirror now permanently redirects to an unrelated marketplace. The community-maintained swar/nba_api project (and its companion documentation site) is the best available reference, covering box scores, play-by-play, shot charts, and historical stats back to the 1996-97 season. No API key is required, but requests must spoof browser-like headers to get past NBA's bot filtering, and access is blocked outright from many data-center IP ranges -- treat it as an unofficial, goodwill-rate-limited source, not a guaranteed-uptime service.

Oddsmagnet is a UK-focused odds-data provider covering football, basketball, baseball and more from 17+ bookmakers (William Hill, Betway, Unibet, and others), aimed at arbitrage comparison and machine-learning models trained on historical odds movement. The free tier only exposes odds aggregated to a daily level; paid Historical Odds Data and Betting Odds API tiers unlock full granularity and low-latency live feeds. A live probe of the real `api.oddsmagnet.com` backend confirmed it's a genuine, live AWS API Gateway service distinct from the bot-protected marketing domain, and reconfirmed a wildcard `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` on every request, keeping `cors: yes`.
