Best football data API

These days there are a lot of football data API providers who claim to be the best.

When we at Sportmonks wanted to start a fantasy game we came across the problem that most football data API providers were not reliable. We had to make a choice between affordability and reliability. We figured out that we would be better off collecting the data ourselves. After doing this we realised we had reliable data and would be able to offer this for a fair price. After being in the market of football data API for almost a decade we can proudly say: Our API is reliable and affordable!

Every My Sportmonks account has access to our for-ever free plan, which consists of the Danish Superliga and the Scottish Premiership. We offer this so everyone can see for themselves that the football API is the best football data API in the market.

All you need to do is generate an API token. Then give it a cool name, and you’re all set to test the Sportmonks API!

Now that you have a My Sportmonks account and a valid API token. It’s time for you to select a football plan.

Explore our Documentation

We know that the API has so many options that some are more difficult to understand. Implementing the Sportmonks API is easy and without struggles.

However, if you want to know anything about our API or are looking for some more help, we provide extensive documentation resources such as getting started, tutorials, how-to guides, API references and detailed endpoint descriptions. We are updating the documentation page actively and want to make sure that everybody is able to use the Sportmonks API the way they want without wasting any time. If anything you want is missing in the documentation, you can always send us an email at support@sportmonks.com to receive additional help.

The Sportsmonks soccer API was the best we could find, in terms of coverage that we needed and more importantly a well-made API.

Excellent documentation and the free plans give ample opportunity to test the API with a product in development.
