About

API-Football (by API-Sports) is the go-to free data source for soccer/football: fixtures, live scores, league tables, lineups, events, odds, and predictions across hundreds of leagues. The free tier unlocks every endpoint. The only catch is a modest daily request cap and a limited set of seasons. The same company also offers sibling APIs for basketball, baseball, rugby, cricket, and handball.
