How often does an NFL running back go over his rushing yards line?

One row per game with a back's opening and closing rushing line, the price, his yards and whether he went over. Derrick Henry averaged 94 yards against an 84 line.

Code verified October 19, 2026. One call to get_prop_history, 10 credits.

The call

player_id is a GSIS id from search_players. Other markets include rush attempts, receptions, receiving yards and anytime touchdown.

import requests
import pandas as pd

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"

resp = requests.post(
    "https://mcp.endzoneapi.com/v1/get_prop_history",
    headers={"x-api-key": API_KEY},
    json={
        "player_id": "00-0032764",
        "market": "player_rush_yds",
        "from_date": "2025-09-01",
        "to_date": "2026-02-28",
    },
    timeout=60,
)
resp.raise_for_status()
data = resp.json()["data"]

games = pd.DataFrame(data["games"])
s = data["summary"]
print(data["player_name"], data["stat"], "|", s["overs"], "overs,", s["unders"], "unders, over rate", s["over_rate"])
print("average line", s["avg_line"], "average actual", s["avg_actual"])
print(games[["game_date", "open_line", "line", "actual", "result"]].tail(6).to_string(index=False))
# How far each result landed from the line: the spread matters as much as the over rate.
print(games["margin"].describe()[["mean", "50%", "std"]])

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your dashboard. Python needs requests and pandas (pip install requests pandas). JavaScript runs on Node 18 or newer, or in the browser.

Or use the official client: pip install endzoneapi
