Sportmonks Football

About Sportmonks Football

Sportmonks Football is a documented API providing football (soccer) data, covering endpoints for match information, live scores and in-game events, odds, and related entities such as tournaments. Version 3.0 is the current release, with documentation noting differences from the prior API 2.0 version, which is deprecated.

The documentation includes a quick start guide, authentication instructions, request options (filters, includes, field selection), rate limit information, error codes, and code libraries for multiple programming languages. It also provides tutorials and guides for building football-related applications, including tournament applications, and covers webhook-style features like live match hydration breaks.

The product is aimed at developers building applications that require football data, such as live scores, match events, odds, and tournament information. Support is available through a dedicated team, and a separate MCP server (beta) and AI-focused documentation are provided for AI-assisted development use cases.
