Is WNBA data live right now?

Yes. The 2026 season is loaded and in progress, with 267 games in the committed snapshot and 254 finished. New scores are added through the day. See "How fresh is live WNBA data?" below for the refresh limits.

Are WNBA odds available?

Yes. Current moneyline odds are available for 156 of 254 finished games in the committed snapshot. Opening and closing snapshots are not available for WNBA.

Is there a WNBA standings endpoint?

Not yet. /v1/standings does not have a WNBA adapter loaded. Team form and head-to-head history are available today via /v1/teams/:id/form in the meantime.

Are individual player stats or player props available?

Not yet. Today’s WNBA data includes game scores, period linescores where present, and current moneyline odds. Team and player box-score statistics and player props are not loaded for this league.

Is it on the free tier?

Yes. Every endpoint listed here is free, 250 req/day (500 with GitHub connected).

Which WNBA seasons does the API cover?

The single 2026 WNBA season, with 267 games loaded and 254 finished in the committed snapshot. Historical seasons before 2026 are not loaded.

What's the difference between WNBA and NBA coverage on this API?

They share the same schema and basketball surface, but depth differs today. NBA has play-by-play, player props, and standings. WNBA currently has 2026 scores, period linescores where present, and current moneyline odds, with no standings, team or player box-score statistics, or props yet.

How fresh is live WNBA data?

WNBA scores refresh through the day via a scheduled REST pull, not the sub-15-second live poller used for several other leagues. A WNBA score can lag by hours during a live game. Final results and period linescores land after a scheduled refresh. If sub-minute in-game score ticks matter for your use case, NBA is the better fit today.

The WNBA API for developers ballers.

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.

Everything WNBA. One key.

Scores, period linescores, and current moneyline odds sit behind the same API key and schema as every other sport on this API. Team and player box-score statistics are not loaded yet.

156 of 254 finished games carry a latest-per-book moneyline response in the committed snapshot.
214 of 254 finished games carry period linescores.
Matches, odds, and scores key on the same ids as the rest of the API, so WNBA code ports straight to NBA, NCAAB, or any other sport with a query-param change.
Standings, team and player box-score stats, props, lineups, and injuries are not loaded for WNBA yet. The FAQ lists each gap directly.
