DataSportsAPI Tracking API

Tracking data. Positional data for a match, available since 2026-11-12 with history back to 2026-11-07. Football gets a live ball track and live events — goals, shots, cards, substitutions and set pieces seconds after they happen, plus the flow of play (ball safe, attack, dangerous attack, change of possession) — and, after the match, the full event list with positions and passes. Tennis gets every serve and point plus live positions of the ball and the players, basketball its post-match events and shot spots, ice hockey a match timeline. Enterprise plan only: the REST endpoints are below, and the tracking:{id} WebSocket channel streams the same data live. Every position is in the fixture’s coordinate frame (TrackingSummary.coordinates) — 0–100 for football, basketball and ice hockey, with the home side attacking towards x = 100 for the whole match, and millimetres from the middle of the net for tennis. Players are identified by name from the match squad, without an id.

  summary: Real-time sports data over REST for 24 sports — scores, schedules, lineups, match statistics, tables, and team, player and league profiles.
  description: 'One consistent JSON contract for 24 sports: fixtures and live scores, lineups and statistics, standings, plus teams, players and leagues, delivered in real time over REST, WebSocket and webhooks.


    Successful responses use a `{ data, meta? }` envelope; failures return `{ error: { code, message } }` under a matching HTTP status. All ids are DataSportsAPI ids. Each component schema documents its fields, units and enum values, as does the data reference (https://datasportsapi.com/markdown/reference.md). The WebSocket stream, webhooks and widgets are documented at https://datasportsapi.com/docs/.


    Availability: pre-launch. This documents the v2 contract; accounts, API keys and the SDK packages open with the public launch — until then, join the early-access list at https://datasportsapi.com/signup/. During the beta the Free plan allows 1,000 requests a day (100 a day after).'
