FAQ

Questions teams ask before integrating

Do you return JSON?
Yes. The Cricket Scores API is built around structured JSON for sports product integration.
Can I build widgets with this?
Yes. Match listings and summaries are a good fit for widgets, while scorecards support deeper match pages.
Should I fetch scorecards for every surface?

How are rate limits handled?
Rate limits depend on the active plan and are enforced consistently across the service.
