Get LAFC scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole MLS scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 18966.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/18966"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 18966)
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 == "18966" or .awayTeam.id == "18966") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "18966"; // LAFC
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/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 = "18966"  # LAFC
res = requests.get(
    "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/events",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['RSA_API_KEY']}"},
    timeout=10,
)
for g in res.json()["data"]:
    if TEAM_ID in (g["homeTeam"]["id"], g["awayTeam"]["id"]):
        print(g["shortName"], g["status"]["detail"], g["awayTeam"]["score"], g["homeTeam"]["score"])

Using the Realtime Sports MCP server (https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/mcp), call get_schedule with sport "soccer" and league "usa.1" for the next 14 days and list the LAFC games (team id 18966) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

FAQ

How do I get live LAFC 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 "18966". 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 LAFC 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 LAFC team id?

"18966" in league "usa.1" (sport "soccer"). Use it with /sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/18966 for team details and /sports/soccer/leagues/usa.1/teams/18966/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next LAFC game?

LAFC host Vancouver Whitecaps on Sat, Oct 10, 10:30 PM ET at BMO Stadium. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include LAFC 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 LAFC 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 "18966" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
