NFL games from balldontlie — schedule and scores in one feed. Filter by season, week, and/or team id. Each game: date, season, week, status, postseason flag, venue, recap summary, home/visitor teams and final (or live) scores. Cursor-paginated (pass meta.cursor as cursor to continue).
/api/sports/nfl-gamesPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The nfl games API is a pay-per-call sports endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. NFL games from balldontlie — schedule and scores in one feed.
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in nfl games data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs sports data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
