How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of records and an items array, where each item contains fields such as date, name, type, gameId, league, status, shortName, and leagueName. When enrichment options are enabled, items may also include box scores, injury data, game probability, play-by-play arrays, team records, and next event info.

Example use cases

Live NFL scoreboard check

“What are today's NFL scores? Get me the full scoreboard with game summaries and box scores for all games today.”

Team roster lookup

“Can you get me the current roster for the Golden State Warriors from ESPN? Their NBA team ID is nba/9.”

College football rankings

“Pull the latest college football rankings for this season — specifically the top-division group 80, for the 2024 season.”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, parsed ESPN sports data without building a scraper yourself, especially for multi-league queries, enriched game details with box scores and injuries, or flexible date-range scoreboards. Prefer it over raw web scraping when you want clean JSON output with consistent schema across NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, EPL, and UCL. It is pay-per-successful-call so failed or empty runs are free.

Side effects

Invalid league key returns empty results or error
Date format not matching YYYYMMDD or YYYY-MM-DD causes parsing failure
Date range exceeding 32 days is rejected
Invalid teamId or eventId format returns no items
Mode/league combination not supported returns empty items array
ESPN source unavailable or rate-limited causes failed run (not charged)
Empty run due to no matching data returns count 0 and is not billed
