Overview

When working with the Novig API, it’s important to understand how outcomes are organized. The order of outcomes in an array does not determine their meaning—the index field does.

​
The Index Field

Each outcome object contains an index field that identifies which side of the market it represents:
IndexMeaning
0Home / Yes side
1Away / No side
Do not rely on array position to determine outcome meaning. Always use the index field.

​
Example

Consider this response from the API: 
{
  "outcomeIds": [
    "14e8323b-b635-41ff-b7f6-f81477ee4153",
    "c84fa737-1ed7-4ed5-af47-39379c175fdd"
  ],
  "outcomes": [
    {
      "id": "14e8323b-b635-41ff-b7f6-f81477ee4153",
      "status": "TBD",
      "index": 1
    },
    {
      "id": "c84fa737-1ed7-4ed5-af47-39379c175fdd",
      "status": "TBD",
      "index": 0
    }
  ]
}
In this example:
  • The first item in the outcomes array (14e8323b-...) has index: 1, making it the Away/No side
  • The second item in the outcomes array (c84fa737-...) has index: 0, making it the Home/Yes side
Always filter or find outcomes by their index field rather than assuming array order.

​
Market Type Mapping

The meaning of index: 0 depends on the market type:
Market TypeIndex 0Index 1
MONEYHomeAway
SPREADHomeAway
TOTALOverUnder
TEAM_TOTALOverUnder
For game-level markets (MONEY, SPREAD), index 0 always corresponds to the home team. For totals and player props, index 0 corresponds to the Over or Yes side.
