American Football Highlights API

About American Football Highlights API

The Highlightly American Football API provides data for NFL and NCAA FBS football, covering preseason, regular season, playoffs, and championship games. It exposes endpoints for teams, matches, video highlights, standings, odds and bookmakers, lineups, players, head-to-head records, last five games, and match box scores, along with live play-by-play events and predictions.

Access requires an API key obtained through Highlightly or RapidAPI, sent via request headers, with responses returned in JSON only. Response headers report the request limit and remaining requests tied to the subscribed plan. The API is intended for developers building applications that need structured American football data such as scores, statistics, player profiles, and highlight video.
