About TheSportsDB

TheSportsDB provides a JSON API for sports data and artwork, covering leagues, teams, players, venues, seasons, events, and related statistics such as birthdays, transfers, and honours. A free tier gives access to the core data and imagery. A premium tier is available for $9 monthly, which includes a dedicated production API key, access to the V2 API, 2-minute livescores, video highlights, and other upgraded features.

The API is documented with accompanying code examples and testing guides, and covers artwork types and data formats. Third-party scraper integrations are available for Kodi and Plex.

This service is aimed at developers building applications that need structured sports data, such as league and team information, player details, event schedules, and TV sport listings.
