FAQ

How do I get live Colorado Buffaloes 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 "38". 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 Colorado Buffaloes 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 Colorado Buffaloes team id?
"38" in league "college-football" (sport "football"). Use it with /sports/football/leagues/college-football/teams/38 for team details and /sports/football/leagues/college-football/teams/38/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.
When is the next Colorado Buffaloes game?
Colorado Buffaloes host Utah Utes on Sat, Oct 17, 12:00 AM ET at Folsom Field. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.
Does the API include Colorado Buffaloes 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 Colorado Buffaloes 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 "38" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
