Basketball Data API — Live Scores, Stats & Odds
Live scores, box scores, standings, team and player statistics and odds for basketball leagues worldwide — all from a single REST API. Last verified: August 2026.
What's included in the Basketball API
Everything you need to power live scores, results pages, fantasy scoring or trading models — see the full API reference for endpoint details.
Basketball coverage in detail
Data spans the NBA season from opening night through the Finals, plus other domestic and international leagues.
Regular season & playoffs
All 30 teams, full 82-game schedule, playoffs and the Finals.
Player & team box scores
Points, rebounds, assists and advanced stats at the player level.
EuroLeague, WNBA & more
Additional domestic and international basketball leagues — see the Coverage page for the full list.
Orbistats vs. other basketball data providers
Most established sports-data vendors (Sportradar, Stats Perform, Genius Sports, IMG Arena, Deltatre) sell basketball data as part of large, official-rights enterprise contracts — strong on official NBA rights and deep tracking data, but typically gated behind a sales call with unpublished pricing. Orbistats targets a different buyer: developers, fantasy platforms and smaller sportsbooks who want to start building today.

Focused basketball coverage
NBA plus international leagues, without paying for 80+ sports you won't use.
If you need official league-rights data, broadcast-grade player tracking, or a global multi-sport enterprise contract, providers like Sportradar or Stats Perform remain the right fit for that scale of need.
