LiveScore API endpoint
Use Crawlora's LiveScore Team and League Search API to extract supported public LiveScore data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/livescore/searchSearches the public LiveScore index for a free-text term, or browse its current team, competition-stage, and region-category sections with an empty query. Results are dynamic, limited per section, and are not a complete historical competition directory. Use /livescore/sports to discover all supported sport tokens. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sport | string | Yes | LiveScore sport token Allowed values: soccer, hockey, basketball, tennis, cricket | ||
| query | string | No | Optional free-text team, competition, or region term (up to 100 characters). Omit or leave empty to browse current results. | ||
| limit | integer | No | 10 for a text query or 50 when query is empty | Optional results per section (1 to 100). Defaults to 10 for a text query or 50 when query is empty. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 100. | |
| x-api-key (header) | string | Yes | API key required |
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/livescore/search?sport=soccer&query=coffee&limit=10" \ -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
Send your scraping API key in the x-api-key header. Use the console API Keys page to rotate or select the active key.
Endpoint usage is metered in credits. The plan prices, included credits, limits, and overage rates below match the active backend billing configuration.
| Plan | Price | Included credits | Daily cap | Rate limit | Overage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 2,000 | 500 daily credits | 5/min | No overage |
| Starter | $9/mo | 20,000 | 5,000 daily credits | 15/min | $0.75/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Growth | $29/mo | 100,000 | 25,000 daily credits | 45/min | $0.45/1,000 overage credits when enabled |
| Pro | $79/mo | 400,000 | No daily cap | 120/min | $0.30/1,000 overage credits |

This endpoint is executed through Crawlora's managed scraping infrastructure.
Some targets require real browser execution because the data is loaded through JavaScript, dynamic rendering, or interaction-like browser behavior.
For supported endpoints, Crawlora can route requests through a managed browser cluster. This allows Crawlora to execute JavaScript, load dynamic content, apply browser-level request behavior, and normalize the rendered result into JSON.
You do not need to operate your own Playwright, Puppeteer, Chrome, proxy, queue, or retry infrastructure.
- Results retain LiveScore's current JSON shape under `results`. Depending on the sport and query, the source may return `Teams`, `Stages` (competition stages), and `Categories` (region or competition groups); a section can be absent when that sport has no corresponding result group. - When present, `results.Sorting` contains a subset of `Teams`, `Stages`, and `Categories`, in the source's preferred display order. - An empty query returns the anonymous search index's current browse groups. Cold replays with `limit=50` returned 19/28/28/15/24 categories for soccer/hockey/basketball/tennis/cricket respectively on 2026-09-27. These are dynamic search-index results, not a complete historical competition directory; use `/api/v1/livescore/competitions` for the public English competition sitemap paths it covers. - `limit` is validated from `1` to `100`; the caller can raise it above the upstream UI's observed `20` value, but the source may still return fewer records. - Results use the anonymous public search feed and English locale. The response does not pin a country code, so callers are not restricted to the browser's observed region. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "source_url": "https://prod-cdn-search-api.lsmedia1.com/api/v2/search/cricket?categories=true&limit=50&locale=en&query=&stages=true&teams=true", "sport": "cricket", "query": "", "results": { "Sorting": ["Stages", "Categories"], "Stages": [{"Sid": "19609", "Snm": "The Ashes"}], "Categories": [{"Cid": "23", "Cnm": "England"}] } } } ```
Crawlora does not silently return bad data when the upstream page cannot be used.
| Status | Common failure case |
|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid input or missing required parameter |
| 429 | Plan or endpoint rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal execution error |
| 502 | Upstream platform failed, returned unusable HTML, or served a challenge page that could not be resolved |
When possible, Crawlora returns structured error context so your integration can retry, back off, or inspect the request.
