Table tennis API

Sports APIs solve a key task — they provide developers, betting platforms, sports media, and analysts with quick access to relevant data. Without such services, collecting statistics, predicting match outcomes, and updating odds in real time would be extremely labor-intensive and inaccurate.

API-deporte — is a universal service that allows access to data on dozens of sports, including table tennis. It offers both live results and archived statistics, team lineups, transfers, and much more.

Who it is useful for:

  • Developers — integration of sports data into applications.

  • Betting platforms — updating odds and calculating bets.

  • Sports media and fan resources — publishing relevant statistics.

  • Analysts and BI specialists — analyzing trends and predicting outcomes.

What is an API and API-sport?

API (Application Programming Interface) is an interface for interaction between programs and external services, allowing automatic data retrieval and submission.

API-deporte — is one of the largest sports API services on the market. Since its launch, the platform has gained popularity due to:

  • An extensive database on dozens of sports;

  • Support for live results and archived statistics;

  • High update speed and data accuracy.

One of the main features API-deporte is the unique integration of live data via WebSocket. This allows for receiving updates on matches and results in real time without the need to constantly poll the server. This approach is critically important for betting and analytics, where every second can affect the accuracy of predictions or the calculation of odds.

In addition, API-sport provides a wide range of statistical data. Users can obtain detailed information about players, team lineups, bookmaker odds, transfer history, and match results. This depth of data makes the platform universal for both analysts and application developers who need comprehensive information for predictions and visualizations.

For ease of integration, API-sport supports JSON and XML formats, making it easy to connect the service to various applications, whether they are websites, mobile apps, or BI systems. This allows developers to work with data in a familiar environment without the need to spend time on format conversion or adaptation.

Table tennis API

The API for table tennis covers all aspects necessary for match analysis and bet calculation:

  • Match results and tournament tables;

  • Betting odds;

  • Player lineups and their rankings;

  • Statistics on points, sets, won/lost matches;

  • History of transfers and player participation in various tournaments.

Deportes soportados

API-deporte is not limited to table tennis:

  • Fútbol

  • Hockey

  • Baloncesto

  • Tennis

  • Voleibol

  • Esports

  • Table tennis

Such broad coverage allows integrating data across different disciplines into one platform.

Tecnologías y formatos

Modern technologies are available for working with the API:

  • REST API — for standard database queries;

  • WebSocket — for receiving live results in real time;

  • JSON / XML — formats for convenient data parsing in any application.

¿Cómo acceder a la API?

Connection to API-deporte starts with official registration on the platform. This is the first and mandatory step that allows you to obtain a personal API key — a unique identifier that the system uses to recognize your user and provide access to the data. Without a key, it is impossible to work with the API, as this is the main mechanism for security and control of service usage.

After obtaining the key, the next step is to choose a tariff plan. API-sport offers several subscription options that differ in the number of available requests, data update speed, and information set. For beginner developers and test projects, the free tariff is sufficient, while for full integration into commercial services, it is recommended to choose paid plans that provide full access to all data, including live results, odds, and archived statistics.

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.

In addition to official connection, API-sport data is available through third-party aggregators such as RapidAPI and SportRadar. These platforms can be convenient for quick testing or integration into projects where using the official API is difficult. However, it is worth noting that third-party providers often have limitations: data updates may come with delays, and the API functionality may be reduced compared to the official service. Therefore, for critically important projects, it is better to use direct access through API-sport.

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

  • Free access provides a limited number of requests and basic statistics. It is ideal for testing, learning, or small applications. This tariff also includes test live data to understand how updates and the service response structure work.

  • A paid subscription unlocks full functionality: live results in real time, complete match archives, bookmaker odds, and extended player and team statistics. This tariff is necessary for professional analytical platforms, betting applications, and large media projects.

Número de solicitudes por minuto/hora

Each tariff plan has its limitations:

  • The number of requests per day or month;

  • The speed of data updates, which is higher on paid plans;

  • Access to live data via WebSocket, which allows bypassing delays typical of standard server polling and receiving information instantly.

This flexible approach to access allows developers to choose the optimal option for their tasks — from test usage to integration into large commercial services.

Integración de API

Ejemplos de conexión (Python, JavaScript)

Python (requests):

importar solicitudes

url = «https://api-sport.pro/table-tennis/matches»
headers = {«X-API-KEY»: «YOUR_API_KEY»}

respuesta = solicitudes.get(url, encabezados=encabezados)
imprimir(respuesta.json())

JavaScript (fetch):

fetch(«https://api-sport.pro/table-tennis/matches», {
headers: { «X-API-KEY»: «YOUR_API_KEY» }
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));

Integración en CMS y aplicaciones móviles

  • WordPress — through plugins or custom widgets with REST API;

  • Android/iOS — direct access via HTTP or WebSocket for live data;

Uso de datos en vivo a través de WebSocket

WebSocket allows for instant updates, which is critical for betting and sports analytics, unlike periodic server polling.

¿Dónde se utiliza?

  • Betting and odds scanners — quick access to live bets;

  • Sports analytics and predictions — player and match statistics;

  • Media and fan applications — publishing current results and news;

  • Fantasy Sports and esports — integration of statistics into gaming applications;

  • BI systems and Big Data projects — analytics of large volumes of sports data.

Ventajas y desventajas

Advantages API-deporte:

  • Wide coverage of sports;

  • High data update speed;

  • Accuracy and completeness of statistics;

  • Support for live results and WebSocket.

Contras:

  • Cost of paid plans;

  • Limits on free access;

  • Basic integration skills are required.

Alternatives to table tennis API

There are specialized APIs for table tennis, but they fall short API-deporte in:

  • Data volume;

  • Support for live results;

  • Variety of formats and integration capabilities.

Using competitors is justified if only highly specialized table tennis data is needed without other sports.

En resumen

API-sport — a universal solution for obtaining data on table tennis and other sports. It favorably differs from specialized table tennis APIs due to its wide coverage, support for live results, accurate statistics, and convenient integration.
