Stats included

Every soccer stat field the API returns today — 82 in total, grouped by how they are produced. Each group carries its own freshness, because a sport is rarely uniformly current.

Missing a stat?

We build what people actually ask for. If a field you need is not on this page, tell us — requests are how we decide what to add next.

Name the field or the endpoint shape. Specifics help more than categories.

Goes straight to the team as a product signal. No newsletter, no account, nothing else done with your address.

What you can build

  • Fixture calendar

    Browse the full UCL fixture list by date, with team crests and final scores.

  • Knockout context page

    Pull head-to-head history for a tie across all prior competitions, not just UCL.

  • Half-by-half scoreboard

    Render first-half / second-half linescores from the stored archive.

  • Squad reference

    Wire up the lineups route now so it populates the moment ingest ships.

  • Result research dashboard

    Cross-check fixtures, scores, and crests without burning any upstream credits.

  • Backtest scaffold

    Iterate on the fixture archive without hitting an upstream provider on every page render.

Endpoints

On the gateway at api.bigballsdata.com. Authenticate with the bearer token from /dashboard/keys. Click any endpoint to see every field it returns.

6 endpoints · 99 documented fields. Click any row to see every field it returns.

Start on the free tier

100 requests per minute and 250 per day, free — the highest per-minute burst of any free sports API we checked. Burst is what matters when something asks several questions in a row and waits on each answer.

  • Every sport and league we cover — the paid tiers add history depth and premium fields, not more leagues.
  • Calls are counted one for one — no credit weighting, no markets-times-regions arithmetic.
  • Link GitHub and the daily cap goes to 500.
  • No credit card.

Frequently asked

What Champions League data is available today?
The stored UCL fixture catalogue held 335 rows at capture. It includes team crests and kickoff times, with final scores and half-by-half linescores on finished rows where held. Head-to-head history across any competition the two teams have met in. Lineups route is shipped against the canonical shape but the ingest is not wired yet, so it returns an empty envelope today.
How do I get Champions League standings?
Call /v1/standings?sport=football&league=ucl&season=2026 for the 2026-27 Champions League table. The team list below is a dated snapshot of that response. Stored fixture routes remain separate; this standings check does not establish live odds or events coverage.
What does "no upstream quota cost" mean?
Every endpoint listed here reads from our Postgres archive, not an upstream provider. Hitting them does not consume any upstream provider credits or vendor allowance, so a dashboard polling these routes scales independently of source quotas.
Is it on the free tier?
Yes. Every endpoint listed here is free, 250 req/day (500 with GitHub connected).
