ONE LAYER. FOUR JOBS.

Less plumbing. More product.

Clean interfaces for match discovery, live context, analytics and agent workflows.

01 · ONE CONTRACT

Football data without the translation layer.

Twelve resource-oriented endpoints, normalized JSON envelopes, deterministic IDs, filters and cursor pagination.

02 · SOURCE-AWARE

Available means available. Nothing invented.

Events, lineups and commentary appear only when a named upstream source provides them. Missing features fail explicitly.

03 · MATCH INTELLIGENCE

From fixture to context in one request.

Standings, form, Elo context, fair probabilities and shot-coordinate xG where the competition supports them.

04 · AI-NATIVE

REST for your app. MCP for your agents.

Twelve MCP tools expose the same API contract to Claude Desktop, Cursor and custom agent workflows.

FROM QUERY TO PRODUCT

Three steps. No mystery layer.

Before you build.

What is OpenFoot API?

OpenFootAPI is a REST football data API providing fixtures, results, league standings with home/away splits, derived match context (Elo ratings, form, fair odds), plus live events, lineups, and Expected Goals (xG) on supported matches and competitions.

Current coverage spans 75 leagues and cups across Europe, the Americas and Asia (including Bundesliga, Superliga României, MLS, Brazil Série A, Argentina Liga Profesional, Japan J1, Mexico Liga MX, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Süper Lig, Championship, etc.), with archives for top European leagues.

Can I test the football API without a key?

Yes. The public preview works without authentication and returns up to five matches or search results per request, plus complete match-context and intelligence examples.

What does a Developer API key include?

A Developer key includes up to 25,000 authenticated requests per month, complete result sets across all 75 competitions, league standings, and source-backed events, lineups, xG and match context where available.
