To give some extra inspiration, we have created a couple of case studies. Some of our customers have amazing applications or web pages and offer us the chance to show what can be build with our Football API.
Around a decade ago, we encountered a major obstacle while building an app: we needed high-quality data but the cost was simply too steep. As we scoured the market for more affordable options, we were bombarded with providers who couldn’t meet all of our needs and whose data was often unreliable. Frustrated by the lack of viable options, we took matters into our own hands and created our own data solution.
Being both developers, data analysts, and sports enthusiasts ourselves, we created a data solution that met all our needs and requirements, which was simply too good not to share with others. Hence, we launched our API, so that everyone could have access to reliable and affordable data, just like we did.
That’s right! We’re proud to have built a global customer base of over 20,000 happy customers who trust us for their sports data needs. Our API is widely used by media companies, professional sports clubs, and even independent developers who want to create innovative sports applications. And we don’t just offer data for popular sports – we cover a wide range of sports across the world, providing comprehensive coverage for everything from football and basketball to tennis and esports.

Manchester United 1999
