How can we help you?
We have built a well-structured, flexible, and fast JSON API. Our API makes it easy to customize your JSON responses.
Our API’s flexibility demonstrates itself by allowing its users to build their own responses in the form of adding include parameters to their requests. This means you can request the data you need and leave out the data you don’t need.
Filtering and Sorting is another widely used and loved characteristic of our API. It means you can request the data the way you want it to, by adding the proper filtering and sorting commands. Please check our documentation pages for more information.
At Sportmonks, we manage all our data in the Sportmonks Scout Application Platform (SSAP). Our dedicated scout teams from all over the world add, manage and validate the data collected by this platform. We work together with high-class data partners to ensure our football data is reliable and always up to date.
Once subscribed to one of our plans you will automatically receive the 14-day free trial. After 14 days, your credit card will be charged, unless you choose to cancel your subscription in time. You’re only permitted to have one free trial.
Sportmonks is a sports data provider, founded in 2016, primarily doing business in football, cricket and formula 1. We work with APIs to provide you the best possible data for an affordable price.
There are two options for requesting a custom plan.
You have two options:
Maintenance is done by our developers, and the widgets will request our API every time it is needed. Therefore, no API token is required.
You can preview all widgets on my.sportmonks.com. Next to that, you can find how to set up your widgets on our Documentation.
Option 1: Opt for a default widget package
We’ve created default widget packages: European Widgets, WorldWide Widgets and Enterprise Widgets. The packages are based on the default API plans, meaning they have the same leagues available.
Option 2: Choose a custom widget subscription
Besides the default packages, you can create custom widget subscriptions. There is an option to select their preferred widgets, data features and leagues.
Option 3: A default widget package and a custom widget subscription
There is also an option to combine options 1 and 2. Meaning that you can subscribe to a default and custom widget package.
Please follow our detailed guide: “How-to create your widget in three steps“, guide for more information about selecting and integrating your football widget.
Yes, if you are a first-time customer, you can use the 14-day trial to try the Football Widgets.
Our prediction API has two key models:
1. Prediction model:
Using advanced machine learning techniques and historical data, our model accurately predicts the outcomes of future football matches, considering various factors such as team form, player injuries, head-to-head records, and more. In addition to that, we also incorporate the player contribution model, which further enhances the accuracy of the predictions. By analysing the performance of individual players and their impact on the team, we can better understand how they’ll contribute to the match’s final outcome. This model takes into account various metrics such as the player’s recent form, their position, and their contribution to the team’s overall performance
2. Value bet model:
The Value Bet model processes thousands of historical odds data and market trends to find the best value opportunities. In other words: it compares bookmakers’ odds with each other and then gives you the best value bookmaker. Using our value bet model, you can access valuable insights into the best bets, which can help you make better decisions.
The models and algorithms are based on five key principles:
1. Timely and substantive:
The prediction API is updated daily with the latest data from the Sportmonks Football Database.
2. Data controlled:
No human intervention is needed. The prediction API runs on statistical analysis results based on the entire historical Sportmonks Football Database.
3. Precise probabilities:
The prediction API offers the most precise probabilities possible, thanks to our mathematical probability distribution models.
4. Predictability performance:
We monitor our prediction API’s success rate and quality, but you can also track our predictions’ performance.
5. Machine Learning:
We use cross-validation machine learning models.
Football prediction sites have become increasingly popular in recent years as more and more people turn to online resources for insights into their favourite football teams and matches. Using advanced machine learning techniques and historical data, our Prediction API accurately predicts the outcomes of future football matches, considering various factors such as team form, player injuries, head-to-head records, and more. We also incorporate the player contribution model, which further enhances the accuracy of the predictions.
With our Predictions API, you’ll have access to a vast range of markets, including match-winner, double chance, total goals, and beyond. We’re constantly improving our model, adding new features to ensure you have access to the most accurate and up-to-date predictions possible. The Prediction API is a valuable asset to any football prediction website, providing accurate predictions for future matches based on advanced machine-learning techniques and historical data.
Our Predictions API offers predictions on various markets like the winner, correct scores, over/under and both teams to score (BTTS) are all available here, produced with our machine learning techniques and models.
