Get Minnesota Vikings scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole NFL scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 16.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/nfl/teams/16"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 16)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/football/leagues/nfl/events" \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.homeTeam.id == "16" or .awayTeam.id == "16") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "16"; // Minnesota Vikings
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 = "16"  # Minnesota Vikings
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 Minnesota Vikings games (team id 16) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

More endpoints for this team: /sports/football/leagues/nfl/teams/16/roster, /sports/football/leagues/nfl/injuries?team=16, /sports/football/leagues/nfl/news?team=16. Step-by-step builds: guides.

FAQ

How do I get live Minnesota Vikings 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 "16". 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 Minnesota Vikings 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 Minnesota Vikings team id?

"16" in league "nfl" (sport "football"). Use it with /sports/football/leagues/nfl/teams/16 for team details and /sports/football/leagues/nfl/teams/16/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next Minnesota Vikings game?

Minnesota Vikings visit New Orleans Saints on Sun, Oct 11, 1:00 PM ET at Caesars Superdome. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include Minnesota Vikings 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 Minnesota Vikings 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 "16" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
