Hopefully sorted via email, this site only has API v1 but special livescore links for Patreon supporters

We now have an instant automated API application form.

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api_apply.php

Developers may use the "1" API key when building the app, you do not need a separate key until you actually release something in public

Commercial software and larger users are expected to join our patreon campaign. https://www.patreon.com/thedatadb


I'm trying to get an API key for an API visualization assignment in school.
How would I go about that, please?

For school projects just use the "1" development key.

what are you allowed to do without the API or '1' key?

for example, can you just use the links such as: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json ... ?id=441613

and display the results on your own (personal, non-commercial) site?

The "1" is a test API key so can be used in your application as long as its non-commercial. It doesn't include livescores and video functionality.

Hello,

I would like to apply for an API Key to obtain more information.

Application name: funSports.
Public or personal? : For the public in the iOS App Store for the beginning.
Approximate users? : Under development, but I intend to reach 6000 in 1 year.
Open source or commercial code ?:Open source.
What does my application do? : It is only used for schedule display and post-match results and scores. At the same time, I will add some sports news to serve fans who are too lazy to open a browser to view the information.

You can send the Api Key to my email:

[email protected]

Thanks a lot.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Jack Dawson

Bienvenido!

you can check it here: https://www.thesportsdb.com/free_sports_api

PS: Please be kind enough to write in English

I am perplexed. I tried using the proposed API from the website:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/3/searchteams.php?t=Bayern%20Munich

but it always returns only one team, Arsenal. So I am not sure this is working.

So is this API available for testing for free or not? Or is there a bug with API?

Yes its free, but only some features.

Sadly we had to change that method to restricted after 10's of millions of hits affecting the sites overall performance.

We don't give out full livescore keys sorry, But there is an example here:

https://www.thesportsdb.com/docs_api_data

And full JSON data example here

https://www.thesportsdb.com/xml/v2_livescore_example.json

Or you can use the free key 3 but only for some API calls.

Subject: Inquiry about Broadcast Channel Names in TheSportsDB API

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to find out if the TheSportsDB API provides broadcast channel names for matches. Specifically, does it include information about channels like BeIN Sports? I’d like to ensure that this information is consistently available, also I want to know how much time to get my api key when I pay my Donation.

Thanks for your help!

For TV sport check all data here: https://www.thesportsdb.com/browse_tv. Its the same data as the API.

API key is usually withing the hour but can take up to 12hrs if we are asleep Ping us on discord if any issues.
