SportsDatabase.com is a peer-sourced database and API service for sports data, built around Sports Data Query Language (SDQL). Users can query existing league databases such as NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, ATP, Premier League, World Cup, and UFC, or become peers and upload their own game data and custom parameters.
Functionally, it provides a Data API and a Settings API. The Data API uses GET requests to run SDQL queries, and POST requests to update, replace, or delete sports game data. POST payloads are JSON, with t: and o: used to distinguish team and opponent data, and player-level list fields are also supported. The Settings API is used to configure data sharing: follow lets users decide whose data should be prioritized, creating a layered mechanism for filling in data from different sources. On the technical side, the site states that it uses Ubuntu, NginX, Tornado, and PLY to parse SDQL, but it does not say that the service itself is open source, and no official SDK is apparent.
Pricing is subscription-based: USD 25/month includes 1,000 requests/day and 2 uploaded parameters; USD 100/month includes 10,000 requests/day and 16 uploaded parameters; USD 250/month includes 100,000 requests/day and 128 uploaded parameters. The payment page lists Paypal as the payment method. To access the service, users need to create an account, obtain a user name and token, then log in and subscribe to an API plan.
Its main advantage is that it provides a dedicated query language designed around sports data, giving it stronger analytical expressiveness than generic REST parameters. It also allows users to upload their own fields, such as garbage points or bad calls, making it suitable for niche research or custom sports metrics. The drawbacks are also clear: the documentation is fairly bare-bones. Although request examples are provided, it lacks a complete schema, error codes, SDKs, SLA, data quality controls, and commercial licensing details. Support appears to rely mainly on email and discussion groups, so service guarantees are not very transparent.
It is best suited to sports data developers, quantitative analysis enthusiasts, or small application teams that are comfortable working with APIs and willing to learn SDQL. It is less suitable for customers who need a standardized enterprise-grade sports data provider, strong SLA commitments, and compliance contracts. The main site does not provide information about access from mainland China, and payment depends on Paypal, so network connectivity and payment availability should be tested in practice. Alternatives to compare include Sportradar, Stats Perform, SportsDataIO, TheSportsDB, and API-Football.
