Get Buffalo Bills scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole NFL 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/football/leagues/nfl/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/football/leagues/nfl/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"; // Buffalo Bills
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/nfl/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 = "2"  # Buffalo Bills
res = requests.get(
    "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/nfl/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 "football" and league "nfl" for the next 14 days and list the Buffalo Bills games (team id 2) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

FAQ

How do I get live Buffalo Bills scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/nfl/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 Buffalo Bills 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 NFL team and the other leagues.

What is the Buffalo Bills team id?

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

When is the next Buffalo Bills game?

Buffalo Bills visit Los Angeles Rams on Mon, Oct 12, 8:15 PM ET at SoFi Stadium. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include Buffalo Bills betting odds?

Yes, for upcoming NFL games that have a line: GET /sports/football/leagues/nfl/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 Buffalo Bills score alerts pushed to me?

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