Example of statistics that the Sportmonks football stats API provides

At Sportmonks, we have statistics for historical seasons and the current season of over 2200 leagues. Everyone requires different statistics and data features, and this is why we also made it possible to create a custom plan. In a custom plan, you can select which data features you want, as well as which leagues you want to receive data from.

In the image on the left, you can see some examples of the data features we offer. Besides the statistics shown there we will offer xG for the current season and future seasons as well for over 60 leagues.

Football match stats

We already mentioned the player statistics. However, we have statistics for all football matches as well. Let’s take a look at some data of the final from the Champions League in 2022/2023, when Inter faced Manchester City.

Team stats

With our team stats you can find out which player has the highest average rating, played the most minutes, received the most cards, and more from his team over the season. Also, you can find out who is the best goal scorer per team. Besides these squad statistics, it is also possible to get statistics for all teams within a specific league. You can get information about goals scored and conceded, results (win, draw, lost) cards, and all kinds of attacking and defensive stats. For attacking stats, you can think of corners, (dangerous) attacks, offsides, and ball possession %.

Season stats

Another level of statistics is on season level. For teams and players we cover the total statistics of particular seasons, historical seasons and current seasons. At the right side you see how it looks in our API.

Our story

Before we had the Sportmonks football stats API, we wanted to create the best fantasy football game ourselves. We quickly realised that there was no sports data provider who was able to provide reliable football stats for an affordable price. This was when we decided to do it ourselves, and we started data collecting. After being in the market for almost a decade, we can proudly say that the Sportmonks football stats API can offer you both: reliability and affordability at the same time.
