Scoreboard tracking
Use Yahoo Sports endpoints to turn scoreboard tracking into repeatable API requests with documented inputs and JSON responses.

Credential-free.
Extract Yahoo Sports scoreboards, standings, teams, rosters, players, game boxscores, golf tournaments, and league news as structured JSON.

Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

Featured endpoints
/yahoo-sports/scoreboardReturns games (teams, score, status, venue, and broadcast info) for a league on a date, from sports.yahoo.com's own server-rendered scoreboard page. The `league` enum accepts `nfl`, `nba`, `wnba`, `mlb`, `nhl`, `college-football`, `college-basketball`, `college-womens-basketball`, `mls`, `premier-league`, `la-liga`, `serie-a`, `bundesliga`, `ligue-1`, `nwsl`, `ligamx-apertura`, `ligamx-clausura`, `copa-america`, `club-world-cup`, `world-cup`, `concacaf-champions-cup`, `concacaf-gold-cup`, `concacaf-league`, and `champions-league`.

Soccer leagues return a single ungrouped table (no conference/division) and each entry's `record.points` is populated (3 per win, 1 per draw).

The `league` enum accepts `nfl`, `nba`, `wnba`, `mlb`, `nhl`, `college-football`, `college-basketball`, `college-womens-basketball`, `mls`, `premier-league`, `la-liga`, `serie-a`, `bundesliga`, `ligue-1`, `nwsl`, `ligamx-apertura`, `ligamx-clausura`, `copa-america`, `club-world-cup`, `world-cup`, `concacaf-champions-cup`, `concacaf-gold-cup`, `concacaf-league`, and `champions-league`.

/yahoo-sports/team-rosterReturns a team's full roster (position, jersey number, status, injury, physicals, college, and experience) from sports.yahoo.com's own server-rendered roster page. The `league` enum accepts `nfl`, `nba`, `wnba`, `mlb`, `nhl`, `college-football`, `college-basketball`, `college-womens-basketball`, `mls`, `premier-league`, `la-liga`, `serie-a`, `bundesliga`, `ligue-1`, `nwsl`, `ligamx-apertura`, `ligamx-clausura`, `copa-america`, `club-world-cup`, `world-cup`, `concacaf-champions-cup`, `concacaf-gold-cup`, `concacaf-league`, and `champions-league`. Get a team slug from the scoreboard or standings response (e.g. `green-bay`, `la-lakers`).
/yahoo-sports/team-scheduleReturns a team's full schedule (regular season plus any already-played/scheduled playoff games), with the same per-game fields as the scoreboard, from sports.yahoo.com's own server-rendered team schedule page.

Get a team slug from the scoreboard or standings response (e.g. `green-bay`, `la-lakers`).
/yahoo-sports/gameReturns one game's boxscore (matchup, line score by period, and team stat totals) from sports.yahoo.com's own server-rendered game page. The `league` enum accepts `nfl`, `nba`, `wnba`, `mlb`, `nhl`, `college-football`, `college-basketball`, `college-womens-basketball`, `mls`, `premier-league`, `la-liga`, `serie-a`, `bundesliga`, `ligue-1`, `nwsl`, `ligamx-apertura`, `ligamx-clausura`, `copa-america`, `club-world-cup`, `world-cup`, `concacaf-champions-cup`, `concacaf-gold-cup`, `concacaf-league`, and `champions-league`. Get the `game` slug from a scoreboard or team-schedule response's game `url` (the last path segment), e.g. `cleveland-guardians-detroit-tigers-460811106`.

How to scrape Yahoo Sports
Yahoo Sports has no public developer API, but sports.yahoo.com's own pages are credential-free public JSON-backed HTML. Crawlora's 18 Yahoo Sports endpoints return scoreboards, standings, teams, rosters, players, game boxscores, league news across nfl, nba, wnba, mlb, nhl, college-football, and college-basketball, golf tournament schedules and leaderboards across five tours, UFC fight cards and schedules, F1/NASCAR race results and schedules, ATP/WTA tennis rankings, schedules, and live scores, and the current Olympic games' medal count, as normalized JSON.
Every team-sport endpoint takes a league — nfl, nba, wnba, mlb, nhl, college-football, or college-basketball. Standings only covers nfl, nba, wnba, mlb, and nhl.
The scoreboard endpoint returns games for a league on a date — teams, score, status, venue, and broadcast info.
Team detail, roster, and schedule take a team slug from a scoreboard or standings response (e.g. green-bay, la-lakers); game boxscore takes a game slug from a scoreboard or team-schedule response's game URL.
Player detail takes a numeric player id from a roster response; the news endpoint returns recent articles for a league.
Pass a tour — pga-tour, pga-european-tours, lpga-tour, champions-tour, or european-tour — to /yahoo-sports/golf-schedule for the season's tournaments, then feed a tournament's id (e.g. golf.e.23) to /yahoo-sports/golf-leaderboard for every golfer's rank, to-par score, and per-round strokes.
/yahoo-sports/mma-schedule and /yahoo-sports/mma-fight-card cover UFC only; /yahoo-sports/motorsports-schedule and /yahoo-sports/motorsports-race take a series — f1 or nascar — with the race slug from a schedule response's race URL; /yahoo-sports/tennis-rankings takes a type (mens-singles, womens-singles, mens-doubles, womens-doubles), while /yahoo-sports/tennis-schedule and /yahoo-sports/tennis-scoreboard take no parameters.
/yahoo-sports/olympics-medals takes no parameters — it returns whichever Olympic games Yahoo currently has medal data for, ranked by country, with gold/silver/bronze/total counts.
FAQ
No. Yahoo Sports has no public developer API. Crawlora's endpoints read sports.yahoo.com's own server-rendered pages and return the data as normalized JSON.
nfl, nba, wnba, mlb, nhl, college-football, and college-basketball. Standings excludes college-football and college-basketball, whose pages use an unsupported conference-selector shape.

/yahoo-sports/tennis-rankings takes a type (mens-singles, womens-singles, mens-doubles, or womens-doubles); /yahoo-sports/tennis-scoreboard returns a snapshot of current/recent matches with no parameters needed.
Yes — /yahoo-sports/olympics-medals takes no parameters and returns the current Olympic games' full medal count by country. It always reflects whichever games Yahoo currently has data for, not a caller-selected prior edition.
