# Get Pick of the Day

> One sourced sharp-money call a day (Insider-tier). Returns the published pick for the CURRENT product day: the backed side, the pre-game odds and $100 return, the proven smart-money holders on that side, the grade, and the thesis. The price is snapshotted before kickoff so it does not drift. It never serves a prior day's finished pick as today's, so an automated consumer never acts on a stale, already-settled game (a prior pick stays available through the archive endpoint). When no pick is published for the current product day it returns 404 with error.code="not_found" and error.reason="pick_not_released" -- branch on the reason, because error.code is a frozen contract and stays "not_found". That 404 is a schedule, not an outage: each selected pick normally releases one hour before its provider kickoff, within the 11:00-19:00 UTC operating window; a skipped day has no release. DO NOT POLL. error.retry_at (RFC3339, always in the future) and Retry-After give the recommended next attempt: an exact floor before a scheduled release, or a bounded cadence while the selector is hunting. Schedule one request rather than sleeping a worker thread.

One sourced sharp-money call a day, promoted to the API. This is an Insider-tier endpoint: your API key already proves the subscription, so the response is always the full pick (the web teaser is a product-UI concept, not an API one).

The pick returns the backed side, the pre-game odds and the return on a \$100 stake, the proven smart-money holders on that side, the grade and category edge, and the thesis behind it.

* `backed_price` and `return_per_100` are a snapshot frozen before kickoff, so the value does not drift between calls.
* `sharp_pct`, `market_pct`, and `consensus_edge_pct` are the WHY breakdown: sharp-money conviction versus the market-implied price. These are conviction signals, not expected-value or guaranteed-edge claims.
* `outcome` is `pending` until the market resolves, then `win`, `loss`, or `void`.
* `sports_context` carries provider-owned team crests, league branding, and live score for team-sports picks; it is omitted otherwise.
* Returns `404` when no pick is published right now.

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $OXINSIDER_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.0xinsider.com/api/v1/pick-of-the-day"
```

The response is side-effect-free and ETag-cacheable. Send the previous `ETag` back via `If-None-Match` to get a `304 Not Modified` when the pick is unchanged.

    returns HTTP 408 Request Timeout with an empty body when exceeded. Public

            to raw conviction. The flag describes the READ, not its consequence:
            a read that ran and found nothing groupable also leaves the
            directional fields null, and that is honestly "live" -- the
            per-signal nulls already say "nothing to enrich here", so this
            snapshot-level flag carries only what they cannot, namely whether
            the read ran at all. A degraded response is cached on the shorter
            degraded TTL so it self-heals. Reported SEPARATELY from
            ranking_source because the two degradations are independent -- a
            smart-money DB miss weakens the ranking DATA, a directional failure
            removes a ranking WEIGHT -- and a consumer down-weighting a degraded

    PickNotReleased:
      description: >-
        No Pick of the Day is published for the current product day. This is
        expected before the selected pick's kickoff-relative release; each
        selected pick normally releases one hour before kickoff within the
        11:00-19:00 UTC operating window, and on a skipped day no pick is
        published at all. The body carries error.code="not_found" with
        error.reason="pick_not_released" (branch on the reason -- the code stays
        "not_found" because error.code is a frozen contract) plus error.retry_at
        (RFC3339, always in the future), and the response sets Retry-After.
        Schedule against those instead of polling -- polling this window is what
        makes a schedule look like an outage.
      headers:
        Retry-After:
          description: >-
            Seconds until the recommended next retry. It is an exact floor
            before the operating-window start, before a selected pick's stored
            release, or after a terminal skipped day. While a publish is overdue
            or the selector is hunting, it is a bounded cadence and a pick may
            publish before it. Always >= 1. Schedule one request (error.retry_at
            is its absolute RFC3339 twin); do not poll or block a worker thread.

    RequestTimeout:
      description: >-

    RateLimited:
      description: >-
        Rate limit exceeded. Two independent budgets. (1) 100 requests/minute
        per user (sliding window), on every authenticated route. (2) On the
        BATCH routes only: 2500 batch item units/minute per user, reserved
        before any item is executed. A batch with N requested items costs N item
        units, including duplicate and invalid items. 2500 = 100 requests x 25
        items per batch, which is the most item work a key can buy through the
        request limiter at all: a caller may spend their entire 100-request
        minute on full 25-item batches without the item budget being what stops
        them. The REQUEST budget is the effective ceiling, and batching is never
        the more expensive choice. The item budget still denies at a
        sliding-window boundary (both counters carry the previous window forward
        with a floor, and the item counter runs 25x the request counter), so
        honor a 429 from either. Over-quota batches return 429 with Retry-After
        before any item work is done.
