NBA Stats vs TourneyRadar

NBA Stats

"NBA Stats" refers to stats.nba.com, the unofficial internal API that powers NBA.com's own statistics pages rather than a published, supported product -- there's no official developer signup or docs, and its former any-api.com docs mirror now permanently redirects to an unrelated marketplace. The community-maintained swar/nba_api project (and its companion documentation site) is the best available reference, covering box scores, play-by-play, shot charts, and historical stats back to the 1996-97 season. No API key is required, but requests must spoof browser-like headers to get past NBA's bot filtering, and access is blocked outright from many data-center IP ranges -- treat it as an unofficial, goodwill-rate-limited source, not a guaranteed-uptime service.

TourneyRadar

TourneyRadar aggregates upcoming over-the-board chess tournaments -- currently spanning 46 countries' worth of national-federation listings -- with venue, arbiter, time-control, and FIDE-rating category details pulled from federation calendars. The API is free, keyless, and returns JSON with open CORS across tournament, country, and full-text search endpoints, though optional fields like entry fees and prize pools are frequently left null by the underlying source data.
