Europa League API
Realtime Sports API serves UEFA Europa League games through the same REST endpoints and JSON schema as every other league, using sport=soccer and league=uefa.europa. You get the current scoreboard, live scores, game detail, play-by-play, teams, rosters and news, plus current odds and line history from a single source book. Not currently available or not verified for this league: injuries, player box-score stats. 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.

- Schedules are by date, not week: use /events for the current scoreboard and /seasons/{season}/schedule for a season. Week parameters return SCHEDULE_WEEKS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
- Soccer play-by-play is a stream of match events (passes, shots, fouls, cards); box scores carry team totals and period scores without player rows.
- Date-range lookups for this competition may be incomplete; the current scoreboard (/events) is reliable.

FAQ
- Is there a free Europa League API?
- Yes. The Free plan is $0 with 125 calls per month (1,000 in the first 30 days) at 1 request per second, no card required. The same key works for all 29 leagues.
- How fresh is the Europa League data?
- 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. It is not intended for in-play betting that needs sub-second data.
- Which Europa League endpoints are available?
- Available: live scores, events (scoreboard), event detail, play-by-play, odds, teams, rosters, athletes, news. Not available or not verified: box score (limited), win probability (not available), injuries (not available), schedule / weeks (limited), ncaa tournament (not available).
- Does the Europa League API include betting odds?
- Yes. Upcoming Europa League games returned a spread, moneyline and total when we checked, from a single source book, with line history. It is not a multi-book comparison feed and not suited to sub-second in-play betting.
- Does it include Europa League injuries?
- No. The injuries endpoint returned no records for Europa League when we checked, so treat injuries as not available for this league.
- Can I get Europa League score updates pushed instead of polling?
- Yes. Webhooks are included on every paid plan (Starter, Growth, Pro, Scale). WebSocket is included on paid plans, and the Free plan gets a 500-message monthly preview. Both can be filtered to uefa.europa.
