Get Sporting Kansas City scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole MLS scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 186.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/186"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 186)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/events" \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.homeTeam.id == "186" or .awayTeam.id == "186") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "186"; // Sporting Kansas City
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/events", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.RSA_API_KEY}` }

FAQ

How do I get live Sporting Kansas City scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "186". 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 Sporting Kansas City 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 MLS team and the other leagues.

What is the Sporting Kansas City team id?

"186" in league "usa.1" (sport "soccer"). Use it with /sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/186 for team details and /sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/186/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next Sporting Kansas City game?

Sporting Kansas City host Portland Timbers on Sat, Oct 10, 8:30 PM ET at Sporting Park. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include Sporting Kansas City betting odds?

Yes, for upcoming MLS games that have a line: GET /sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/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 Sporting Kansas City score alerts pushed to me?

Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "usa.1", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "186" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
