Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Cricinfo endpoint catalog — 22 endpoints, 56 documented request parameters, and 22 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
22 documented Cricinfo endpoints, grouped into 19 request families — Records, Team and Venue, plus 16 more.
Published request surface
56 request parameters are documented across those Cricinfo endpoints, 36 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
17 of the 22 Cricinfo endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 22 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Documented failure modes
Cricinfo endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
Agent-callable MCP tools
22 hosted MCP tools back the Cricinfo endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Know what the API can collect before integrating
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

How to scrape Cricinfo
Extract Cricinfo data in 6 steps
Crawlora's Cricinfo endpoints return normalized public Cricinfo scores, statistics, fixtures, commentary, and editorial data as JSON with one API key — no Cricinfo account required.
- Step 1
Get current match scores
Call /cricinfo/scores for a point-in-time snapshot of the match cards on Cricinfo's public homepage, each with a canonical scorecard url. It is not a fixture archive or a streaming subscription.
- Step 2
Get a full match scorecard
Pass a canonical Cricinfo full-scorecard (or live-cricket-score, which is normalized to its paired full-scorecard page) URL — the kind /cricinfo/scores returns — to /cricinfo/match for match state, team scores, and available innings totals with batter and bowler lines. Upcoming matches return an empty innings list.
- Step 3
Get a series schedule and standings
Pass a canonical series_id (from a Cricinfo series URL) to /cricinfo/series for that series's match schedule with scores/status and its standings table with position, points, and net run rate.
- Step 4
Query statistics and records
Call /cricinfo/stats for normalized Statsguru tables, including player-specific queries with player=<numeric_id>, or /cricinfo/records and /cricinfo/records/index for published record tables and the records catalog.
- Step 5
Monitor venues and teams
Use /cricinfo/venue/matches for fixtures and results at a ground, /cricinfo/team/schedule and /cricinfo/team for team data, or /cricinfo/teams, /cricinfo/grounds, and /cricinfo/squads for directory and roster snapshots.
- Step 6
Read commentary and editorial feeds
Pass a match URL to /cricinfo/commentary for recent ball-by-ball commentary, use /cricinfo/rss for official Cricinfo RSS feeds, and use /cricinfo/news, /cricinfo/story, /cricinfo/photos, /cricinfo/videos, and /cricinfo/live for public editorial and live-content metadata.
FAQ
Scraping Cricinfo: common questions
How do I scrape Cricinfo?
Use /cricinfo/scores and /cricinfo/live for score snapshots, /cricinfo/match and /cricinfo/commentary for match detail, /cricinfo/series or /cricinfo/venue/matches for schedules, and /cricinfo/stats for normalized player or team statistics — all return structured JSON with one API key.
Does /cricinfo/scores return a full fixture archive?
No — it is a point-in-time snapshot of Cricinfo's public homepage match cards, not a fixture archive or a streaming subscription. Use the canonical url from each card with /cricinfo/match for full scorecard detail.
What does /cricinfo/match return for an upcoming match?
Match status and team names, but an empty innings list — batter and bowler scorecard lines only populate once the match has started.
Can I query one Cricinfo player's statistics?
Yes. Call /cricinfo/stats with the required class and type plus player=<numeric Cricinfo player identifier>; the response contains the normalized Statsguru headers and rows for that player.
Can I get Cricinfo ball-by-ball commentary?
Yes. Pass a canonical full-scorecard or live-score URL to /cricinfo/commentary; it returns the latest embedded ball-by-ball and editorial commentary entries, bounded by the optional limit parameter.
Can I read Cricinfo RSS feeds?
Yes. Pass one of Cricinfo's published news, live-score, country-story, or player-story RSS URLs to /cricinfo/rss for normalized channel and item data.
Do I need a Cricinfo account?
No. These endpoints read Cricinfo's own public pages and feeds and require only your Crawlora API key.
