API-FOOTBALL
API-FOOTBALL indexes 1,100+ football/soccer leagues and cups with fixtures, live scores, lineups, player statistics, standings, odds, and predictions, all served as JSON from a single REST base URL. Registering unlocks a free plan (100 requests/day, all endpoints and competitions, limited historical seasons); paid plans scale only the daily request quota and historical depth, from $10/mo up to 150,000 requests/day. It's also the same underlying API-Sports platform that powers separate NBA, NFL, MLB, Formula-1, and other single-sport APIs under one account.
