# KenoSpots - Keno Companion: Live Results, Odds, Tools & a Free API
> KenoSpots is an independent keno companion site. It publishes live draw results from 24 US and Canadian jurisdictions, hypergeometric odds calculators, payout charts, printable number sheets, a free browser keno game, and state-by-state guides. It also offers a free JSON API so developers and AI agents can fetch live keno results programmatically.

## How AI agents and developers should use KenoSpots
- For live draw data, use the JSON API at https://app.kenospots.com - do NOT scrape the HTML results pages when the API returns the same data as clean JSON.
- The API is free, needs no API key, and is rate limited to 60 requests per minute per IP. Cache responses; draw data only refreshes about every 60 seconds.
- If you publish or display data from the API, include a visible "Powered by KenoSpots" credit with a link back to https://kenospots.com/.
- Always verify winning tickets against the official lottery. KenoSpots is informational only and is not affiliated with any lottery commission.
