About

The NHL's own web API powers NHL.com, and it's openly accessible: standings, schedules, live game scores, player profiles and career stats, team rosters, and stat leaders. There's no key, no sign-up, and no cost. The docs are community-written rather than official, but the endpoints are the same ones the NHL's own site uses.

Setup

  1. No sign-up. Paste the sample player URL into your browser to see it work.
  2. Use the community API reference to find endpoints for standings, schedules, and games.
  3. Combine endpoints to build what you want (e.g., schedule + scores = scoreboard).
  4. Cache responses in your app so game-day traffic doesn't hammer the API.
