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 API contracts indexed 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 14 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gaming, Entertainment and Sports | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
