Sports APIs
Sports APIs here serve two needs: scores and stats, and betting odds. On the data side, football is well covered by Football-Data.org and API-FOOTBALL, with Formula 1, tennis, cricket and US leagues available through services like balldontlie and the NHL's own free API. The odds side aggregates sportsbook lines and player props, and also includes prediction markets such as Kalshi and Manifold Markets. Free Sports APIs →

Choosing a Sports API
Is there a free Sports API?
Yes. F1 API, Kalshi, Manifold Markets, NegativeEV, NHL Records and Stats and 4 others are free to use, and Football-Data.org, balldontlie, The Odds API (player props), 5DollarFootballAPI, American Football Highlights API and 26 others have a free tier alongside paid plans. See all free Sports APIs.
Which Sports APIs work without an API key?
DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts, Kalshi, Manifold Markets and 8 others need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.
Can I call a Sports API from front-end JavaScript?
DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts, Manifold Markets, NegativeEV and 4 others allow cross-origin requests and need no key, so they work straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.
Can I use Sports APIs in a commercial project?
The Odds API (player props), 5DollarFootballAPI, American Football Highlights API, API-Tennis, CricketData.org (CricAPI) and 15 others permit commercial use. Cito UFC API, DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts, Manifold Markets and 4 others restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
Which Sports APIs work with AI agents?
balldontlie, Lumify and NegativeEV have both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. KashRock and VoxOdds have an MCP server, so an AI agent can call them directly. CollegeFootballData.com, FACEIT Data API, GolfCourseAPI, Highlightly Cricket API, Highlightly MLB & College Baseball API and 10 others publish an OpenAPI spec for generating clients and tools.
