Footholics, a Spanish LaLiga Fantasy game, solved its data availability and speed issues by changing providers to Sportmonks.

Now we are able to offer real-time, accurate scores to our thousands of users.

Because Sportmonks is so affordable, we are considering expanding to other national and international leagues.

Many other API providers make assumptions that you’re an experienced developer, and their documentation includes fewer examples and is written at a higher entry level. Sportmonks, make no assumptions and provide plenty of examples to help you use the API.
