  title: Highlightly Sports Catalog Matches API
  description: Real-time sports data and highlights API from Highlightly. Provides live scores, matches, standings, team and player statistics, head-to-head records, odds, and on-demand video highlight clips across football, basketball, and other sports. This document models the All Sports API surface, where each documented resource is namespaced under a sport path segment (for example /football/matches). The same resources are also available on per-sport hosts such as https://soccer.highlightly.net and https://basketball.highlightly.net (without the sport path prefix) and via RapidAPI.
