CricAPI

CricAPI (now operating as CricketData.org) is a cricket data API platform that has provided free, high-performance cricket data since September 2015. The API delivers live scores, ball-by-ball updates, match details, player statistics, team rankings, schedules, and fantasy cricket scorecard data for international and domestic tournaments including ICC, IPL, T20, BBL, and PSL. Developers can access historical match data going back to 2000, widgets for website integration, and a fantasy cricket API designed for league operators. The platform is ISO 9001:2015 certified and uses its own AI engine with human data entry rather than scraping third-party sources.

CricAPI publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Fantasy API, Generic API, Info API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Cricket, Sports, Live Scores, Player Statistics, and Match Data.

The CricAPI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

CricAPI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, and 13 more developer resources.
