PARI API

The modern sports and betting market cannot be imagined without quality data. Real-time match scores, accurate odds, player statistics, and archival data — all of this forms the basis of betting applications, analytical services, and sports media. Here, sports APIs come to the rescue — tools that allow integrating this data into any digital projects.

Who is this useful for?

• for developers — to create applications and websites;

• for betting platforms — to calculate and update odds;

• for sports media — to publish statistics and live results;

• for analysts — for forecasts and research.

There are different solutions on the market: PARI API and a more universal platform API-deporte. Let’s break down the differences.

¿Qué es API-sport?

API-sport is one of the most popular platforms for working with sports data. The service provides:

• live results in real time;

• match and player statistics;

• archival data for many years;

• data on transfers, lineups, tournament tables.

History API-deporte it started with supporting football, but today the platform covers dozens of disciplines: from basketball and tennis to esports. It is used by thousands of projects around the world because it combines three important qualities — wide coverage, speed of updates, and flexible integration.

PARI API

PARI API is primarily designed for the needs of betting platforms and developers who work with bet calculations and odds updates. Through this service, you can access essential data without which it is impossible to build a modern betting application. It provides odds and all changes occurring in real time, which is especially important for live betting.

The API also allows tracking match results, analyzing team lineups, and detailed player statistics. Additionally, information on transfers, disqualifications, and injuries is available — information that directly affects forecasts and the dynamics of odds.

Deportes soportados

The API features popular disciplines:

• fútbol, hockey, baloncesto, tenis;

• individual esports categories.

However, the coverage of sports is less than that of API-deporte, and the speed of data updates is lower.

Tecnologías y formatos

PARI API supports standard protocols:

• REST and WebSocket;

• JSON and XML formats. But there are fewer ready-made SDKs and detailed documentation than with API-sport.

¿Cómo acceder a la API?

To work with any sports API, whether it is API-deporte or PARI API, the first step is to register on the official website. After registration, the user is provided with a unique access key (API key), which is needed for all requests to the service. Next, it is necessary to choose a tariff based on the tasks: some are satisfied with basic functionality, while others need live data and advanced integration capabilities. With API-sport, the registration process and obtaining the key is as simple and transparent as possible, and detailed documentation helps quickly connect the service to the project.

RapidAPI, SportRadar y otras plataformas proporcionan acceso a BetsAPI y Livescore API a través de sus canales. Esto es conveniente para los desarrolladores que necesitan integraciones listas y SLA confiables.

Sometimes the data from these APIs can be found through aggregators like RapidAPI or SportRadar. This is convenient if you are working with several APIs in one project, but it should be noted that the functionality through third-party services is often limited. For example, access to live results or archived data may be restricted, and the speed of information updates is lower than with direct connection.

Los planes gratuitos generalmente incluyen acceso limitado a datos históricos y estadísticas básicas. Las suscripciones de pago desbloquean:

API-deporte offers both free and paid tariffs. The free tariff allows you to test the service, obtain basic data, and make a limited number of requests per day — this is enough for small projects or prototypes. Paid tariffs provide access to dozens of sports, live data, archived statistics, and expanded request limits, making the API convenient for large projects, betting platforms, and analytical services.

Número de solicitudes por minuto/hora

PARI API has limitations on the number of requests and the speed of data updates, which sometimes makes it less convenient for dynamic applications where instant response to changes is important. API-deporte in this regard looks more flexible: here there are high limits, fast update speeds, and the ability to choose a tariff based on the specific needs of the project — from a small startup to a large platform with thousands of users.
