Sportsbooks, media companies and leagues that need official multi-sport live data, odds feeds and trading services under a sales contract.

Sportsbook data and odds feedsLive scores and stats for mediaStreaming and trading services

Not ideal for

Hobby projects or buyers who need public, self-serve pricing; production pricing is by request volume through sales.

Limitations to check

  • − Production pricing is not published; sales contact required
  • − Trial keys are limited, and trial terms differ between pages (about 1,000 calls over 30 days in an older FAQ)
  • − Saved terms page is unrelated, so licence terms are unknown

Pricing & plan limits

PlanPriceRequestsWhat's included
Trial keyNot public1,000 / monthFree trial key per sport via developer console; limits and length vary (older FAQ: 1,000 calls per 30 days, 90 days)source
CommercialContact sales—Production pricing by request volume; contact salessource

Trial terms conflict between sources (golf FAQ vs current account docs); 1,000 calls/30 days is from an older FAQ. Protocol list inferred from product names (UOF/Live Data are push feeds); not verified on a page. Pricing not published.

Before choosing a paid plan, confirm

• What counts as one request (per call, per market, per region?)

• What happens when you exceed the quota: blocked or billed

• Whether live and historical data are on your plan

• Whether your use (public app, betting, resale) is licensed

Preview brief
# Integration brief: Sportradar

Goal: build a feature on Sportradar data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://sportradar.com
- Docs: https://developer.sportradar.com/
- Sports: Multi-sport (40+)
- Data: Fixtures, Historical data, Odds, Play-by-play, Player stats, Results, Live scores, Standings, Team stats, Video, Widgets
- Protocols: REST, Push feed, XML feed; formats: json, xml
- Auth: api_key
- Free plan: none listed
- Note: Trial terms conflict between sources (golf FAQ vs current account docs); 1,000 calls/30 days is from an older FAQ. Protocol list inferred from product names (UOF/Live Data are push feeds); not verified on a page. Pricing not published.

## Verify before writing code
- live update frequency
- whether commercial use is allowed on the plan you pick
- exact endpoint paths, parameters and response fields (read the official docs, do not guess)

## Implementation rules
- Keep the API key on the server (environment variable, backend route or edge function); never ship it to the browser.
- Cache responses and respect rate limits; count how many requests each screen triggers.
- Handle errors explicitly: invalid key, quota exceeded (429), missing fields, empty fixtures, timeouts.
- Start with one demo request and log the raw response before building UI on assumed field names.
