NHL Records and Stats

Verified Jul 2026

This community-maintained GitLab reference documents the NHL's own keyless JSON backend -- covering schedules, box scores, standings, and rosters -- which itself moved host during 2021, from the retired `statsapi.web.nhl.com` to today's `api-web.nhle.com` (the doc repo already tracks the new host). No API key or app registration is needed to query it. A live probe of the real `api-web.nhle.com` host returned data with no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header on a cross-origin request, resolving `cors: unknown -> no`; the legacy `statsapi.web.nhl.com` host no longer resolves at all, confirming the migration is final.
