description: Second Spectrum is a Los Angeles–based computer vision and AI sports tracking company, acquired by Genius Sports
  in 2021 for roughly $200M. It supplies skeletal and optical tracking, machine-learning analytics, and augmented broadcast
  products to major leagues, clubs, and broadcasters — most notably the NBA (official tracking partner from 2017 to 2023),
  the Premier League (official tracking partner via Football DataCo), and MLS. The customer-facing offering is the Performance
  Studio platform, used by club analysts and coaching staff to access tracking data, visualizations, and tagged clips. There
  is no public developer portal, no published OpenAPI, and no self-serve API keys; data and integration access are delivered
  exclusively under enterprise agreement with Genius Sports. The product surface is effectively a sales-led, league/club-tier
  offering rather than a developer API.
