Serie A API

Realtime Sports API serves Italian Serie A games through the same REST endpoints and JSON schema as every other league, using sport=soccer and league=ita.1. You get the current scoreboard, live scores, game detail, play-by-play, teams, rosters and news, plus current odds and line history from a single source book. Not currently available or not verified for this league: injuries, player box-score stats. 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.

  • Schedules are by date, not week: use /events for the current scoreboard and /seasons/{season}/schedule for a season. Week parameters return SCHEDULE_WEEKS_NOT_SUPPORTED.
  • Soccer play-by-play is a stream of match events (passes, shots, fouls, cards); box scores carry team totals and period scores without player rows.

FAQ

Is there a free Serie A API?
Yes. The Free plan is $0 with 125 calls per month (1,000 in the first 30 days) at 1 request per second, no card required. The same key works for all 29 leagues.
How fresh is the Serie A data?
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. It is not intended for in-play betting that needs sub-second data.
Which Serie A endpoints are available?
Available: live scores, events (scoreboard), event detail, play-by-play, odds, teams, rosters, athletes, news, schedule / weeks. Not available or not verified: box score (limited), win probability (not available), injuries (not available), ncaa tournament (not available).
Does the Serie A API include betting odds?
Yes. Upcoming Serie A games returned a spread, moneyline and total when we checked, from a single source book, with line history. It is not a multi-book comparison feed and not suited to sub-second in-play betting.
Does it include Serie A injuries?
No. The injuries endpoint returned no records for Serie A when we checked, so treat injuries as not available for this league.
Can I get Serie A score updates pushed instead of polling?
Yes. Webhooks are included on every paid plan (Starter, Growth, Pro, Scale). WebSocket is included on paid plans, and the Free plan gets a 500-message monthly preview. Both can be filtered to ita.1.
