Introduction

Football API 3.0 is a REST API that can be used to request football data from our wide-ranging database and has the following characteristics:

• Highly customizable requests

• Fast livescores

• Reliable and accurate data

In addition to the Football API, Sportmonks offers a Prediction API, News API, and multiple Football Widgets. Also, a Cricket API and a Formula 1 API are in our assortment.

The Football API covers over 2,300 leagues, and over 1,350 leagues are covered in the Prediction API. Every continent, country, league, season, stage, round, venue, TV Station, player, coach, referee, bookmaker, market, news article, event, and fixture has its own ID.

We have over 15 entities that are parents to multiple endpoints. In API 3.0, there are over 100 endpoints available. Each endpoint is thoroughly explained on its own endpoint page.

Every entity has a rate limit that is calculated over all endpoints within that entity. You can learn more about the rate limit in our rate limit section.

You will find valuable tutorials and how-to guides to help you kickstart your application on these documentation pages.
