REST for odds, WebSocket for live scores and status. Here is both.

```bash
# List upcoming esports matches
curl "https://api.odds-api.io/v3/events?sport=esports&apiKey=YOUR_KEY"

# Get odds for a match across esports books
curl "https://api.odds-api.io/v3/odds?eventId=58231904&\
bookmakers=Bet365,GG.BET,Thunderpick&apiKey=YOUR_KEY"
```

```javascript
// Odds + live scores + status in one connection
const ws = new WebSocket(
  "wss://api.odds-api.io/v3/ws?apiKey=YOUR_KEY&channels=odds,scores,status&markets=ML,Spread,Totals"
);

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // { "type": "score", "id": "58231904", "status": "live",
  //   "scores": { "home": 2, "away": 1,
  //     "periods": { "p1": { "home": 1, "away": 0 } } } }
  console.log(msg.type, msg.id, msg.scores);
