One soccer data platform

Why Choose This Soccer API?

A useful Soccer API should do more than return a final score. It should provide the connected data needed to build a complete product: fixtures before kickoff, live events during the match, final results, league standings, player and team statistics, historical records, betting markets and prediction data.

This platform is designed around commercial soccer applications. Use stable identifiers, structured JSON, REST endpoints and real-time streams to connect match data across websites, mobile apps, internal systems and customer-facing products.

Commercially Focused

Build the features customers actively use: live scores, match centres, odds comparison, fantasy scoring, analytics and alerts.

Connected Soccer Data

Link competitions, seasons, fixtures, teams, players, events, statistics and standings through stable entity identifiers.

REST and WebSocket

Retrieve complete state through REST and process incremental live events through WebSocket where supported.

Built to Scale

Start with the endpoints your product needs and expand coverage, request capacity and advanced data as usage grows.

Core Soccer API capabilities

Soccer Data Built Around Real Product Requirements

Use focused endpoints to power live-score applications, fantasy products, sportsbooks, media websites, analytics dashboards and predictive systems without assembling data from disconnected sources.

Live Soccer Scores API

Display current scores, match clocks, injury time, goals, cards, substitutions, penalties, VAR events and live match status.

Fixtures and Results

Build schedules, calendars and competition pages using upcoming, completed, postponed and cancelled fixtures.

Soccer Statistics API

Access goals, assists, xG, xA, possession, shots, passes, corners, cards, saves, tackles and historical performance data.

Soccer Odds API

Integrate pre-match, live and historical odds across supported bookmakers, markets and price formats.

Soccer Predictions API

Use win, draw and loss probabilities, expected goals, BTTS, over-under forecasts and confidence information.

Soccer WebSocket API

Subscribe to low-latency match events and build live interfaces without repeatedly polling every endpoint.

League Standings

Retrieve positions, points, wins, draws, losses, goals for, goals against, goal difference and recent form.

Team and Player Data

Build team profiles, squad pages, player cards, line-ups and season or career performance views.

Head-to-Head Data

Compare previous meetings, recent results, scoring trends and relevant match history between two teams.

Historical Soccer Data

Analyse previous fixtures, results, standings, player statistics, match events and odds where historical coverage is available.

SDKs and Code Examples

Use documented request patterns and language-specific examples to accelerate integration across common development stacks.

Documentation and Pricing

Review authentication, endpoints, rate limits, errors, coverage and commercial plans before moving to production.

One integration

From Pre-Match Research to the Final Result

Use the same connected soccer data model before, during and after every supported fixture.

Match phase	Available data	Common use Product experience
Before Kickoff	Competition, teams, venue, line-ups, standings, head-to-head, statistics, odds and predictions	Match previews, fantasy selection and betting research
During the Match	Score, clock, injury time, goals, cards, VAR, penalties, substitutions and live statistics	Live scoreboards, alerts, match centres and trading tools
After Full Time	Result, events, line-ups, player statistics, team statistics, standings impact and settlement information	Reports, historical databases, fantasy scoring and analysis

Live match events

Build a Complete Live Soccer Match Centre

Live soccer products need more than the score. Combine match state, event timelines and team statistics to give users the context behind every change.

Goals and Score Changes

Process goals, own goals, disallowed goals and score changes with scorer, assister, minute and team context where available.

Cards and Discipline

Display yellow cards, second yellows, red cards and related player information.

VAR Decisions

Update the match timeline when supported VAR reviews confirm, overturn or modify an event.

Substitutions

Show players entering and leaving the pitch, substitution time and affected team.

Penalties

Process awarded, scored and missed penalties with event status and player context.

Match Clock and Injury Time

Present first half, halftime, second half, extra time, stoppage time and full-time status correctly.

Developer-Friendly Soccer Data

Build against stable entities instead of fragile display text. Match, competition, team, player, market and event identifiers help your application preserve relationships across endpoints.

Structured JSON responses

Stable match and entity identifiers

Documented match-status values

Pagination and filtering patterns

REST requests for complete state

WebSocket events for live updates

Integration Flow

1. Request competitions
2. Import fixtures
3. Store stable IDs

Example API request

Request Live Soccer Matches

The following request and response are illustrative. Final production paths and fields must follow the official documentation.

// JavaScript
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.example.com/v1/soccer/matches/live',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Accept': 'application/json'
    }
  }
);

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error(`API error: ${response.status}`);
}

const matches = await response.json();

# Python
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://api.example.com/v1/soccer/matches/live",
    headers={
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Accept": "application/json",
    },
    timeout=15,
)

response.raise_for_status()
matches = response.json()

<?php
$url = 'https://api.example.com/v1/soccer/matches/live';

$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [
        'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
        'Accept: application/json',
    ],
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 15,
]);

$body = curl_exec($ch);
$status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($ch);

REST and real-time streaming

Use REST for State and WebSocket for Live Events

REST endpoints are ideal for competitions, fixtures, current match state, standings, scorecards and historical data. WebSocket streams are designed for incremental live events such as goals, cards, VAR decisions and substitutions.

Requirement	REST API	WebSocket API
Upcoming fixtures	Recommended	Usually unnecessary
Initial match state	Recommended	Subscribe after loading state
Live goal and card events	Requires polling	Recommended where supported
Recovery after disconnect	Reload complete state	Reconnect and resume
Historical results	Recommended	Not required
