- Calls are counted one for one — no credit weighting, no markets-times-regions arithmetic.
- Link GitHub and the daily cap goes to 2,000.

Frequently asked
- What MMA data is available today?
- UFC fight cards and bout matchups — the two fighters, event date, and status for every bout — plus MMA moneyline odds. Bout results (winner/method/round), fighter profiles, and win-loss records are not available yet; they are coming via a dedicated combat-results source.
- Do you cover Bellator, PFL, or ONE?
- Not currently. MMA coverage is UFC-only today. If you need another promotion, tell us and we will gauge demand.
- Are fighter records or bout results included?
- Not yet. Today the API returns the matchup (both fighters) and the bout status — not the winner, method, round, or a win-loss record. Those are coming soon; we will not return a fabricated 0-0 result in the meantime.
- Is the MMA API free?
- Yes. Fight cards and bout matchups on the free tier at 1,000 req/day (2,000 with GitHub), no credit card. MMA odds require the Edge plan ($149/mo) or higher.
