REST + MCP

included

Which sports and leagues are covered?+

StatsHawk covers NBA, WNBA, MLB, NFL, NHL, KBO, NCAA basketball and football, plus major soccer competitions including the Premier League, Champions League, and La Liga. The live list is always at /v1/competitions.

How does API authentication work?+

Create a self-serve test key, then send it in the X-API-Key header. Paid plans can issue separate production keys per app, so you can track and rotate each one on its own.

What is the difference between REST and MCP?+

REST uses API keys for products, scripts, and backend services. MCP connects the same sports data to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants with a normal sign-in. Both use one account and one usage meter.

When should I use an enterprise licensed-data provider?+

If your workflow requires an officially licensed feed, contractual redistribution rights, or a custom enterprise SLA, evaluate a provider that offers those terms directly.
