Hi RapidApi Team!
I’m looking to hire a soccer API through RapidApi, but I’m not sure because the ones you recommend, for me don’t seem the best.
For example, what about this one and does not appear in your article?
https://rapidapi.com/SoccersAPI/api/soccersapi
It seems to be most complete than the others, what do you think?
Thanks in advance
