Free Sports API: 116 Free Endpoints

116 of our 158 endpoints are free — scores, fixtures, standings, injuries, player stats. Below is exactly which 42 are not, and the tier each needs.

The real limits

250 requests/day, or 500 with a GitHub account connected. No card required. Free keys are for real use, not a trial that expires.

What is not free — all 42

Generated from the same table the API enforces at request time, so this list cannot drift out of date. Everything else in the 158 is free.
