Scores & Stats APIs
Scores and stats APIs range from multi-sport aggregators to single-league feeds. TheSportsDB and balldontlie span many sports, SportsDataIO and MySportsFeeds focus on US leagues with odds and fantasy data, and Highlightly pairs scores with video highlights. Free, keyless sources exist for specific sports: the NHL's own records API, F1 API for Formula 1, and Squiggle for AFL. Free Sports APIs →

Choosing a Scores & Stats API
Is there a free Scores & Stats API?
Yes. F1 API, NHL Records and Stats, OpenLigaDB, Padel Snipe and Squiggle are free to use, and TheSportsDB, balldontlie, Football-Data.org, 5DollarFootballAPI, American Football Highlights API and 18 others have a free tier alongside paid plans. See all free Sports APIs.
Which Scores & Stats APIs work without an API key?
DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts, NHL Records and Stats, OpenF1 and 4 others need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.
Can I call a Scores & Stats API from front-end JavaScript?
DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts, OpenF1, OpenLigaDB and 2 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 Scores & Stats APIs in a commercial project?
5DollarFootballAPI, American Football Highlights API, API-Tennis, CricketData.org (CricAPI), GolfCourseAPI and 9 others permit commercial use. TheSportsDB, Cito UFC API, DiscGolf, F1 API, Football Charts and 1 other restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
Which Scores & Stats APIs work with AI agents?
balldontlie has both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. CollegeFootballData.com, FACEIT Data API, GolfCourseAPI, Highlightly Cricket API, Highlightly MLB & College Baseball API and 5 others publish an OpenAPI spec for generating clients and tools.
