Start with the core league and live-score feed. Add prediction-market data when your product needs it.

Live scores as they change
Request the current score or stream match updates over WebSockets.
03 / MARKETS
Prediction-market data
Pro adds verified prices and order-book data for supported markets linked to a fixture.
Prediction-market data is informational market context—not official bookmaker odds or a settlement source.
Data freshness
See when each update was recorded.
Responses include freshness and completeness fields. Market endpoints use separate timestamps for sport and market data because they update independently.
