About Hockey Highlights

The Highlightly Hockey API provides real-time hockey data, including live scores with period-by-period breakdowns, video highlights, team statistics, standings, predictions, head-to-head data, and last-five-games records. Coverage spans 170+ leagues in 30+ countries, including KHL, SHL, Liiga, DEL, AHL, ECHL, CHL, PWHL, and junior leagues.

The API exposes endpoints for countries, highlights, leagues, matches, teams, bookmakers, odds, last-five-games, head-to-head, and standings data, all returned in JSON format. It is accessed via API key through either the Highlightly platform or RapidAPI, with request headers required for authentication and rate-limit information returned in response headers.

It is intended for developers building applications that need structured hockey data and video highlights, such as sports platforms, betting-related tools (via the bookmakers and odds endpoints), or statistics dashboards.
