Looking for a reliable and frequently updated football data API that covers: Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and EFL Championship.
What I need • Competitions: EPL, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, EFL Championship • Data types: • Live: match scores, ongoing results, live match events (goals, cards, substitutions, etc.) • Recent: updated league tables and standings (within minutes of change) • Player stats: appearances, minutes, goals, assists, xG/xA if available • Club stats: team form, possession, shots, xG/xGA, PPDA, etc. • Historical: access to past seasons (preferably 2010/11 → present) • Update frequency: Real-time or near real-time (<1-min delay preferred) • Format: JSON REST API or GraphQL, with good documentation • Licensing: Open or paid — just needs clear usage rights and stable uptime
Bonus • Webhooks or push updates for live events • Consistent player/club IDs across seasons • Advanced metrics (xG models, passing maps, pressure events)
If you know any trusted APIs or data providers, please share: • Link • Coverage (competitions + seasons) • Update frequency • Known limitations • Pricing/licence details
Thanks in advance, I’ll compile and share the best options for others looking for up-to-date football data
