Sportmonks Cricket

Verified Jul 2026

Sportmonks' Cricket API is a token-authenticated JSON REST service covering 140+ leagues from 30+ countries, with match schedules, live scores, ball-by-ball events, player and team statistics, standings, and fantasy-relevant data. New accounts land on a genuine free plan (a handful of leagues, e.g. the CSA T20 Challenge and Big Bash League, no card required); paid Major/World/Enterprise plans scale purely by league count and hourly request volume rather than gating features. A live probe of the real API host confirmed it requires the account token (401 without one) and returns no CORS header for browser-origin requests.
