All Sports API

The Highlightly All Sports API reaches every sport we cover through a single base URL and a single key. The sport is the first segment of the path, so /football/matches and /cricket/matches are the same endpoint shape against different sports, each with that sport's parameters and response.

Base URL

sports.highlightly.net

Sports

11

Format

JSON only

Version

6.14.3

Where each sport is documented

An endpoint reached through this base URL is the same endpoint as the one in the sport's own product. Same parameters, response and refresh interval. Only the route differs, so the sport's own documentation sets out the payload.

What each page covers

What a request looks like

{sport} is one of eleven values. Take the one for your sport from sports and path prefixes and send it exactly as written.

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://sports.highlightly.net/football/matches?date=2023-08-06' \
  --header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

const response = await fetch('https://sports.highlightly.net/football/matches?date=2023-08-06', {
  headers: {
    'x-rapidapi-key': process.env.HIGHLIGHTLY_API_KEY
  }
})

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error(`Highlightly responded ${response.status}`)
}

const data = await response.json()

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://sports.highlightly.net/football/matches?date=2023-08-06',
    headers={
        'x-rapidapi-key': os.environ['HIGHLIGHTLY_API_KEY'],
    },
    timeout=10,
)

response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()

Endpoint coverage

Not every sport carries every endpoint. Which ones a sport has is listed in endpoint coverage.
