?In the last four years, social media has
revolutionized how people watch and interact with
sports. Facebook has a user base that would
equate to the population of the worlds
second-largest country, while Instagram enables
the photo and video sharing of 200 million active
users per month. In the last two years, apps have
put the world right at our fingertips. From
running daily errands to conducting sophisticated
business-specific processes, applications are
providing endless potential. Application
programming interfaces (APIs) are the disruptive
technology that has made all this possible. And
recent global sports events offer a great
opportunity to see this technology unfold in
action. Sports data APIs turned the tournament
into a truly multi-screen event, as fans were
able to view, chat, vote and bet simultaneously
across digital devices.

• What Are APIs?
• APIs are the backbone of digital interactions.
  They allow applications to communicate with one
  another, enabling users to perform complex
  functions such as book-making and betting. APIs
  are the bridge between applications such as
  Facebook and Twitter and the platforms like
  Amazon and Google that host them. They are
  crucial to the future of the tech industry and
  have changed the way we interact with the world
  around us.

• Sports API Opening up the tournament to everyone
• The Fan-to-Fan API allowed app users to track
  friends teams and players and to share content,
  such as score updates or highlights. The
  Player-to-Fan API allowed visitors to build up
  their own profiles and connect with friends,
  enabling them to discuss the game, select a team
  and even bet on the outcome of the match.

• Fantasy API Creating a multi-platform fantasy
  sports experience
• In 2016, India hosted the season-long Indian
  Premier League (IPL), a cricket tournament that
  is watched by millions of people around the
  world. The competition was broadcast on
  television, but with the rise of online streaming
  services, fans were able to watch the matches on
  their laptops, smartphones or tablets while at
  work or school. The Fantasy sports API enabled
  users to build fantasy teams around players in
  the IPL or any other leagues. Each team could
  hold multiple players, and users could create
  their own rules and create their own leagues.
  With the API for sports, fans were able to create
  their own fantasy sports experience, whether they
  were at work, school or even while they were
  sleeping.

• Betting API Providing a fully transactional
  betting experience
• In the same year as the World Cup and IPL,
  Australia hosted the Twenty20 Cricket World Cup.
  This was the first time that cricket was played
  in Twenty20 format, making it a very new and
  exciting event for fans to watch. And thanks to
  an API, they too were able to watch the
  tournament on a range of devices. The Betting API
  enabled fans to engage in fully transactional
  betting around the tournament. Users could create
  accounts, deposit tournament funds and withdraw
  bets. They could even choose to have funds held
  offline so that they could bet without being
  connected to the internet.

• Gaming API Blending real-life and digital gaming
  experiences together
• The final three-year period in which the world
  saw significant sports API usage was in 2017.
  China hosted the year-long World Baseball
  Classic, while the Asia-Pacific Rim Championship
  and the Asian Championship were held in the same
  year in 2019. The same API that had allowed fans
  to watch the World Cup and IP Bart Cup on their
  mobile devices also allowed them to create and
  engage with personalized gaming experiences. The
  Gaming API enabled fans to create customized
  gaming experiences around their favorite sports
  stars. Gamers could create their own fantasy
  leagues, choose their favorite players and create
  interactive fantasy games. They could even create
  fantasy games for different sports.

APIs are central to the changes happening in the
sports industry. Its important to understand how
they affect fans and athletes, as well as how
theyre impacting the way you watch live sports.
APIs are making it easier than ever before to
follow your favorite teams and players, enjoy
their games anywhere you want and interact with
other fans.

Theyre also helping to bring new technologies
like virtual reality and block chain into the
mainstream. And that is why it becomes all the
more critical to invest in a trusted sports data
feed provider to nourish sports content. Data

catalogue where our customers can access our API
service along with in-depth high-quality sports
statistics and live scores in a unified format
