Cricket Scores API

Live match listings, detailed innings scorecards, and match summaries — purpose-built for score widgets, dashboards, and real-time alerts. All three endpoints share the same x-api-key authentication and return compact, predictable JSON.

Authentication

Pass your service API key in the x-api-key HTTP header. Obtain your key from the Dashboard after enabling Cricket.

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY
