UEFA/FIFA scores API

Question

Does anybody know if UEFA or FIFA provide a scores api for football matches, official team players list, transfers, etc?

I found footytube api but not sure ofits stability and completeness..

I found your question looking for UEFA/FIFA API and I found the footytube api. Thank you for that reference :) — Al-Punk, Apr 13 '13 at 17:15
the deleted answer suggested a World cup JSON on Github - that may help. — Our Man in Bananas, Jun 19 '14 at 21:59
If anyone's searching for this in 2018: FIFA has an API which provides a ton of information. The URL for the World Cup is: https://api.fifa.com/api/v1/calendar/matches?idseason=254645&idcompetition=17&language=en-GB&count=100 I couldn't find any documentation (obviously), but the JSON is fairly self-explanatory. — Christallkeks, Jun 14 '18 at 21:19

UEFA or FIFA don't seem to provide any API to get the information you want. However, there are some third-party services which support that:

OPTA - Both commercial and free. They have incredible database about matches. Whoscored.com currently uses it.
Others: livescoreboards, xmlsoccer, ...

ESPN API has been discontinued: http://developer.espn.com/blog/read/publicretirement – Miguel Gamboa Jan 06 '15 at 12:13
Stay away from xmlsoccer. The customer service is simply non-existent (literally they haven't answered a single support email!). The data is inconsistent, and a lot of fields undocumented. Horrible! – Julian Jul 07 '18 at 02:33
OPTA looks very nice but is not free though. – mayojava Nov 11 '18 at 16:01
I sued the JSON service on http://livescore-api.com during the world cup. It was nice. Not free, but it was reliable enough to use it in my website and app. – Hristo Petev Jan 23 '19 at 22:15

http://api.football-data.org/index is free and useful. The API is in active development, stable and recently the first versioned release called alpha was put online. Check the blog section to follow updates and changes.

I have found wrong information being provided by this one. Matches marked as "FINISHED" with a score even though they hadn't happened yet. – OrangePot May 18 '16 at 13:06

Does it have live scores? – gagangupt16 Jun 07 '16 at 06:09

UEFA internally provides their own LIVEX Api for their Broadcasting Partners. That one is perfect enough to develop the Applications by their partners for themselves.

You can find stats-dot-com - personally I think their are better than opta. ESPN seems don't provide data in full and do not provide live data feeds (unfortunatelly).

We've been seeking for official data feed providing for our fantasy games (solutionsforfantasysport.com) and still staying with stats-com mainly (used opta, datafactory as well)
