As the NFL season quickly approaches, here are a few APIs that could help you analyze NFL data or enrich your football sports website, software, or mobile app:
The Football Sentiment API returns sentiment analysis data on NFL teams.
This is made by pulling online data and passing it through a network which outputs scores between -1 (most negative) and +1 (most positive). The main usefulness of this API is to find team sentiment which ultimately may move a line before a game starts. This is no way intended as a predictor of the result of a game, but rather whether a bet should be placed now or later depending on the direction of sentiment.
Get real-time odds and sports scores from major sportsbooks for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA, and much more.
There are over a dozen sportsbooks currently integrated with many more to come, including:
