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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cricapi: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
