Ready on Sign-Up

Register a developer account to receive a trial quota; most teams complete integration testing the same day.

Standard Auth

Server-side signing with app_key / app_secret: one consistent standard, no ambiguity during integration.

Real-Time Updates

Scores, events and statistics update in real time over a consistently stable data pipeline.

Before you start

Settle coverage, latency needs and historical depth before writing code. Top-five leagues and 1000+ competitions worldwide are different plans.

Four steps to a working pipeline

  1. Register on the developer platform.
  2. Create an app; keep app_key / app_secret on the server.
  3. Call the fixtures endpoint first.
  4. Then subscribe to score and event streams.

First call: today's fixtures

GET /v1/fixtures?date=2026-08-25&sport=football

Treat time fields as ISO 8601 with offset, store UTC.

Real-time subscriptions

Heartbeat, reconnect with last seq, and de-duplicate. Do not add a goal on every event.

Engineering notes

Daily sync for reference data, hourly for fixtures, local cache in production. Separate apps for dev/test/prod.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Likely cause What to check
401 Param order / encoding Compare the string to sign
429 Polling too often Timed sync + cache
No push Heartbeat / subscribe Interval and ack
