People use sports data for all kinds of purposes. Everybody can use sports data. For example, professional clubs use specific data to scout their next potential player. Professional managers could use data to help analyse their next opponent and determine which players are perfect to counter the opponent. Players use the data to get better at specific aspects of their game, while they can also use it to learn about their opponents. However, there are more ways to use sports data.
Below, you can find some examples of how our customers use our data. If you want more possibilities, check out our case studies to learn how others use and experience the Sportmonks API. At our documentation page “What can you do with Sportmonks’ data” you will find some more detailed information.
The customers of sportmonks have all kinds of use cases:
One thing all customers have in common is that someone is needed to work with the API and create a website or an application after implementation. It is something that only people with knowledge of coding can do. That is why we built a Football API for Developers.
However, if you use our Football Widgets, you don’t need any coding. You only have to copy and paste a Sportmonks code at your website and you will have all the data you need.
So, I know how to get the data now, but what data do you have? To answer this question, we need to dive into our products further. You can check out all our data features in a bit. For now, I will mention some prevalent features in our Football API:
There is a lot more where this is coming from. Please check out our Coverage page.
The Predictions API is here for state-of-the-art predictions for over 900 leagues. People can use this for all kinds of projects. We see betting/odds portals using our predictions most of the time. However, some people also use the predictions for analysing leagues and teams. For more information, please visit our Prediction API page.
We wrote an in-depth tutorial for the Prediction API.
The Premium Odds Feed is the ultimate tool for fierce bettors and passionate sports enthusiasts. We joined forces with TXODDS, a renowned sports odds data provider. Therefore, we can deliver an odds feed that meets the highest possible standards. It has pre-match odds for over 180 bookmakers and 20+ markets. The Premium Odds add-on comes with a new feature: tracking the history of the odds. If you are interested in the Premium Odds Feed, please learn about it on our Premium Odds page.
In our Premium Odds Feed documentation, you can find which endpoints you can use.
The Pressure index offers insight into the momentum and dominance of a team during the match. The Pressure Index Chart delivers a real-time visual portrayal of the game’s dynamics, offering a profound understanding of its intensity and flow for more informed betting decisions and live updates of performances. More information can be found on our Pressure Index page.
The documentation on the Pressure Index is very important to make the most of this feature.
Our news API adds another dimension to your website or app. The Sportmonks scouts write high-quality previews. Every match in the Premier League and Champions League is covered. Also, the top five teams in the La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 are covered. World Cups and European Championships are in the News API as well. Please find all the information on our News API page.
With our News API documentation you will be able to make the most of its features.
Our football widgets are easy to use, and once you have copied and pasted the line of code into your website or application, you no longer have to worry about it.
Sportmonks’ developers cover the maintenance of the widgets. The data comes directly from the Football API. Find more information on our Widgets Page.
