SportAPI product history and sports data development plans

SportAPI began in 2014 as a focused football result collection service and developed into a provider of sports events, odds, results, and interactive products. Over the years, we have expanded sports coverage, reduced delivery latency, introduced multilingual content, and created ready-to-use widgets.

Our next stages focus on making integration easier for sports websites, applications, and betting platforms. Planned products include a sportsbook widget, richer team and player statistics, mobile SDKs, predictive analytics, and distributed infrastructure. Roadmap dates and priorities may change as products are tested and customer requirements evolve.
