Is Ligue 1 live right now?

No. The 2025/26 Ligue 1 season is complete, so there are no live matches currently. Historical fixtures, the final table, and season stats remain queryable; live match data resumes for 2026/27.

Yes, on the Solo plan and above. /v1/matches/:id/statistics returns per-team expected goals (the route is Free; the expected_goals field is Solo+, so Free keys get the rest of the team stats without it), and /v1/leagues/:id/xg-leaders returns the player-season xG leaderboard (Solo+). /v1/stored/matches/:id/stats does not carry xG. Coverage is for matches where the upstream feed supplied xG.

Can I get full-season player stats?

Per-season goals, assists and minutes come from /v1/players/:id/stats. Player-season xG is on /v1/leagues/:id/xg-leaders, which needs the Solo plan or above.

Is Ligue 1 on the free tier?

Yes. It covers historical fixtures, standings, stats, and scoring events. There is a free tier; pricing lists what each plan covers. The full minute-by-minute stream is Pro. Free keys get 250 req/day (500 with GitHub).

What each plan reaches

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.
