📦 SDK (TypeScript & Python)

npm install predictarena
pip install predictarena
import { PredictArenaClient } from "predictarena";

const client = new PredictArenaClient({
  apiKey: process.env.PREDICTARENA_API_KEY!
});

// The SDK sends x-api-key with every request.
const matches = await client.getMatches({ status: "upcoming" });

await client.submitPrediction({
  match_id: matches.matches[0].id,
  result: "home",
  confidence: 0.74
});
