The ideas of our customers are expansive, ingenious and mind-blowing. We have seen fantasy games, live score applications, betting portals, and many other marvellous ideas.
What to think of this idea of Scoreplay? It is nothing like the previously mentioned apps. They created something with our API that is completely out of the box.
We chose Sportmonks because of the accuracy of its MLS API, its’ ease of use and its’ outstanding customer service. Starting with Sportmonks was incredibly easy and intuitive. The onboarding process was virtually non-existent. Just plug and play!
Before you, there have been over 20,000 customers in the same situation. They were looking for a reliable data partner which they could afford. And even we from Sportmonks have been in this situation. Before the company Sportmonks existed, we wanted to start a fantasy football application. We concluded that there was only reliable sports data with paying the bank. This is when we decided to take matters into our own hands and started collecting data. After building what we wanted to have as a developer, it was too good not to share it. This was when we decided to start sportmonks and share all our data, including MLS players.
The MLS has had some of the best football players ever play in the league. We have made a list of the most exciting players that have been here.
