Choosing between these Sports & Fitness APIs
Sports data is commercially valuable, so genuinely free tiers are tight — typically a limited number of calls per day and often delayed rather than live scores. Read the limits before designing anything real-time.
Community-run APIs covering a single sport are frequently more generous than the large multi-sport providers, and often better documented.

These are catalogued from the public-API lists and link straight to each provider's own documentation — we have not tested them yet, so treat the auth and CORS flags as the upstream list's claim rather than ours.
