NBA Data

Verified Jul 2026

This is API-SPORTS' NBA product distributed through the RapidAPI marketplace, covering games, live scores, standings, player and team statistics, and season/playoff data as JSON. It follows RapidAPI's standard freemium billing -- a free plan with a modest daily call cap, paid tiers for higher volume -- and, like API-SPORTS' other sport APIs, is also offered directly outside RapidAPI for accounts that prefer a dashboard-issued key. A live probe of the real `api-nba-v1.p.rapidapi.com` gateway host confirmed the key requirement (401 "Invalid API key" without one) and a request-echoed `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`, resolving `cors: unknown -> yes`.
