For media use only. Use of this API is prohibited for betting clients.
Introduction
Sportradar’s Editorial Content API provides in-depth news coverage for all major US sports and international soccer leagues.
Content is broken down into two feeds: News and Analysis. News returns the latest factual information, which may include statistics, quotes, injuries, and/or transactions. Analysis feeds are dedicated to previews and recaps of games and important events.
An extra Premium package is also available for select sports. This upgrade offers the same editorial content, but also includes image assets that are linked within the articles. Our Coverage document illustrates which sports can include Editorial Images.
Redirects
You must be able to follow 302 redirects to retrieve all of our content.
