Get Boston Red Sox scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole MLB scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 2.

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

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

const TEAM_ID = "2"; // Boston Red Sox
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/baseball/leagues/mlb/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

FAQ

How do I get live Boston Red Sox scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/baseball/leagues/mlb/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "2". 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 Boston Red Sox 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 MLB team and the other leagues.

What is the Boston Red Sox team id?

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

What was the last Boston Red Sox result?

Boston Red Sox 2, New York Yankees 9 on Wed, Sep 30. No upcoming games were listed when this page was generated.

Does the API include Boston Red Sox betting odds?

Yes, for upcoming MLB games that have a line: GET /sports/baseball/leagues/mlb/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 Boston Red Sox score alerts pushed to me?

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