What is stat-api?
A sports data API. One API key reaches NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and PGA golf data: games, play-by-play, player and team stats, stadium weather, betting odds, and DraftKings and FanDuel daily fantasy data. The data is normalized, cleaned and connected across sports, so one request style works everywhere.
What data can I get?
Every sport has games, teams, players, box scores, play-by-play, stadium weather and betting odds history. Some sports go deeper: possession-level NBA play-by-play, pitch-by-pitch MLB Statcast, ShotLink and TrackMan golf shots, and NFL Next Gen Stats. For daily fantasy: DraftKings and FanDuel slates, player pools with salaries, contests with final standings and lineups, and our own NFL projections.
See the data coverage →Which sports and leagues do you cover?
Five: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and PGA golf, with DraftKings and FanDuel for daily fantasy. We do not cover other sports or leagues today, such as WNBA, college sports, NASCAR, tennis, MMA or soccer.
How do I start?
Create a free account and an API key. A free key returns up to 5 records from each list, so you can test every table. In the docs, the shared key trial_demo runs the example request of each endpoint. Send your key as a Bearer token to https://api.stat-api.com/api/v1/{league}/{table}, or use GraphQL, the client SDKs or the MCP server.
Can I test the data before I buy?
Yes. Without a paid plan, every list returns its first 5 records, and the lists of DFS slates and contests are open in full. For example, GET /api/v1/dfs/slate_players?slate_id={slate_id} returns 5 players of a slate with their upload IDs (export_id), so you can compare them with the DraftKings or FanDuel CSV of the same slate.
