SportScore
Live scores and fixtures for several sports, keyless widget API
SportScore's widget API returns live scores, fixtures and results for football and other sports as JSON. The attribution tier needs no key and sends open CORS headers, in exchange for a visible 'Powered by SportScore' credit. Good for embedding recent matches without a signup.

SportScore: common questions
Is SportScore free to use?

No — SportScore needs no API key or signup. You can call it straight away; rate limits still apply (Retry-After: 5s).
Can I call SportScore from the browser?
Not directly — SportScore doesn't send browser-friendly CORS headers, so call it from a server or proxy instead. Copy the curl or Python snippet on this page to get started.
Is SportScore up right now?
