How this service works
ESPN MLB scoreboard for one date: every game with away and home team, score, status (scheduled, live, final), and venue, from ESPN's public site JSON. Times are UTC. Scores match the MLB Stats API for final games.
Output
A JSON object containing the queried date, total game count, and an array of games each with: game ID, away and home team names/abbreviations/scores, combined game name, venue, game state (pre/in/post), status label (Scheduled/In Progress/Final), and UTC start time. Also includes the ESPN source URL and the timestamp when data was fetched.
Example use cases
Live game score monitoring
“Check what MLB games are happening today and tell me which ones are currently live, what the score is, and which are already final.”
Historical game result lookup
“Pull up all the MLB game results from July 4th, 2025 — I want to know which teams played, the final scores, and where each game was played.”
Daily sports briefing automation
“Give me a full rundown of yesterday's MLB scoreboard — every game, both teams, the score, and whether it's final or still in progress.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.fadeandco.workers.dev/api/dev/espn-mlb-scoreboard?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured MLB game data for a specific date including scores, game status, and venue — especially when you want data consistent with MLB Stats API for final games but formatted in a compact, agent-friendly JSON. Prefer this over scraping ESPN directly or querying MLB Stats API when you want a single low-cost call that returns all games for a day in one response.
Side effects
- No games on requested date returns count:0 and empty games array
- Invalid date format may return an error or default to yesterday
- Future dates beyond ESPN's schedule return only scheduled games with no scores
- Network timeout from ESPN's upstream API may cause a 502 or error response
- Missing date parameter defaults to yesterday UTC which may not match user's local date expectation
