How do I access scores and schedule API?

Question

ESPN: How to get access to scores and schedule API for IPL tournament building mobile app as an individual developer? I have registered as public API, but that's not useful!!

Answer 1

It looks like scores and schedules are only available to strategic partners of ESPN, or ESPN employees.

There are some other sites that you can pay to get live stats from, but they get a bit expensive. One example:

Answer 2

ESPN has a dedicated cricket site: ESPNcricinfo (You mention looking specifically for India Premier League scores, which I'm assuming this should cover.)

This site provides a live scores RSS feed, which may reliably provide enough information for your use case: https://static.cricinfo.com/rss/livescores.xml

Inspecting the XHR requests, I found a couple other endpoints that might be of use:

• Current https://hs-consumer-api.espncricinfo.com/v1/pages/matches/current?lang=en&latest=true
• Details: https://hs-consumer-api.espncricinfo.com/v1/pages/match/details?lang=en&seriesId=1327237&matchId=1327273&latest=true (get the series and match ID from the previous endpoint, or from inspecting the "fixtures and results" URLs on the site)
