Get California Golden Bears scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole College Football scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 25.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/college-football/teams/25"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 25)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/college-football/events" \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.homeTeam.id == "25" or .awayTeam.id == "25") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "25"; // California Golden Bears
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/college-football/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 = "25"  # California Golden Bears
res = requests.get(

    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 "football" and league "college-football" for the next 14 days and list the California Golden Bears games (team id 25) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

FAQ

How do I get live California Golden Bears scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/college-football/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "25". 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 California Golden Bears 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 College Football team and the other leagues.

What is the California Golden Bears team id?

"25" in league "college-football" (sport "football"). Use it with /sports/football/leagues/college-football/teams/25 for team details and /sports/football/leagues/college-football/teams/25/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next California Golden Bears game?

California Golden Bears host Virginia Tech Hokies on Sat, Oct 10, 3:30 PM ET at California Memorial Stadium. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include California Golden Bears betting odds?

Yes, for upcoming College Football games that have a line: GET /sports/football/leagues/college-football/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 California Golden Bears score alerts pushed to me?

Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "college-football", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "25" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
