Get Sheffield United scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole EFL Championship scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 398.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/teams/398"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 398)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/events" \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.homeTeam.id == "398" or .awayTeam.id == "398") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "398"; // Sheffield United
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/events", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.RSA_API_KEY}` }
});
const { data } = await res.json();
const games = data.filter((e) => e.homeTeam.id === TEAM_ID || e.awayTeam.id === TEAM_ID);
for (const g of games) {
  console.log(g.shortName, g.status.detail, `${g.awayTeam.score}-${g.homeTeam.score}`);
}

import os, requests

TEAM_ID = "398"  # Sheffield United
res = requests.get(
    "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/events",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['RSA_API_KEY']}"},
    timeout=10,

Using the Realtime Sports MCP server (https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/mcp), call get_schedule with sport "soccer" and league "eng.2" for the next 14 days and list the Sheffield United games (team id 398) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

FAQ

How do I get live Sheffield United scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "398". The live endpoint returns the score, period, clock and status for games in progress. Data is aggregated from public sources and is typically 20-30 seconds behind live play (about 1 second after our source). There is no SLA.

Is there a free Sheffield United API?

Yes. The Free plan of Realtime Sports API is $0 with 1,000 calls in the first 30 days, then 125 calls per month, no card. The same key covers every EFL Championship team and the other leagues.

What is the Sheffield United team id?

"398" in league "eng.2" (sport "soccer"). Use it with /sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/teams/398 for team details and /sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/teams/398/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next Sheffield United game?

Sheffield United host Lincoln City on Sat, Oct 10, 10:00 AM ET at Bramall Lane. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include Sheffield United betting odds?

Yes, for upcoming EFL Championship games that have a line: GET /sports/soccer/leagues/eng.2/events/{eventId}/odds returns the spread, moneyline and total from a single source book, and /odds/history returns line moves. It is not a multi-book comparison feed.

Can I get Sheffield United score alerts pushed to me?

Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "eng.2", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "398" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
