The world of online gaming has seen a massive amount of growth over the past 
few years. From the number of participants to the number of players in the 
market running the fantasy sports leagues. With such a level of competition, 
sports gaming operators need every kind of advantage to stand out in the eyes 
of fantasy sports players. 
This is where some fantasy sports operators are winning the race by using 
Sports APIs to fuel their growth in the market. APIs for data sports have 
emerged as the backbone of the fantasy gaming industry. Sports Feed APIs help 
Fantasy sports run in an efficient and fast manner and with this blog you will 
learn how to leverage Sports APIs to have the best fantasy sports app. 
If you are thinking about starting your own app, you must already know what is 
fantasy sports. You can skip to the next part but for those who have only a vague 
idea about fantasy sports read on. 
Fantasy sports are online games that would involve predictions. To participate, 
players would need to create their own virtual team from a list of proxy sports 
players. Based on the performance of the players in real-time matches their 
proxies would fetch fantasy points. And simply the one with the most fantasy 
points in the competition would win. Now given the popularity of fantasy sports, 
players have multiple choices when it comes to choosing the app. As an operator, 
you need to have a thorough understanding of what customers need and provide 
that to beat the competition. 
As per the fantasy sports trade association in India alone 18 crore people know 
about Fantasy sports and enjoy taking part in it. With such a big market there 
come a lot of opportunities as well, and you can too cash in on the craze and 
increase your revenue over time. 
Coming on to the next topic, sports API! What is it? How is it beneficial for the 
operators? 
Sports API is essentially an interface that connects two applications so that 
transfer of sports-related data like live scores, player stats, team stats, match 
details, and other such detailed information can take place at a faster rate. Some 
sports data providers will also give you access to customized plans which will 
further make things easier. You can even easily expand your business offerings as 
well with access to different types of formats. The aim is to cut down the time 
taken to integrate and keep interference to the minimum. 
Now that the basic two terms are clear, how 
can you get started with the fantasy sports 
business?
Sports API makes it easy for you to run your 
business, first, you need to decide what sports 
categories would you be offering. Please note 
that you need to exercise caution in this area 
as well. You need to observe the behavior of 
the audience and do thorough research on 
which sports would have a maximum reach, 
and which sports have the most sports loyalty 
which would in turn make it easier to pitch 
fantasy sports to them and maximize return. 
Once the sports categories are locked in, you can start searching for a reliable 
sports data provider that can give you the required API for sports scores. There 
is a number of options for sports data providers thus selecting the right one is 
all the more difficult. 
Data is one of the most basic offerings of any fantasy game thus you need to 
secure a reliable and trustworthy source of the data provider. Further, it could 
be a costly affair to switch as well later in the future therefore a well-
researched-based selection would reap future benefits and would save you 
money in the long term. 
Now, there are a few attributes that sports data providers need to meet: 
Firstly, we have a Comprehensive Sports 
Catalogue, taking the future into account 
select the sports data provider that has a 
vast sports catalog which would essentially 
make expansion easy for you later down the 
line. 
The second is accuracy. The degree of 
quality of data you offer would vastly affect 
your business, low data quality could even 
hurt your credibility in the market and cost 
you your clients’ trust which is hard to re-
earn. 
Third, Live data. Since fantasy sports are directly dependent on live data, you 
need to test the Sports API beforehand to check the rate of latency. For a 
successful fantasy sports app, you need to deliver quick and reliable data to 
the end users while elevating their experience. 
Last, support and integration service, the sports live scores API needs to 
integrate into the system quickly and it needs to be easy, many providers 
even offer open documentation to make this step easy for you. Also, their 
support service needs to have a fast turnaround time so that any technical 
issue should not affect the day-to-day business operations.
The list above is not exhaustive there are a lot of other pointers, like affordability 
what other add-on services are they offering, and so on. This is where Data 
Sports Group comes in we offer the best sports data from a wide range of 
international, and Domestic competitions. With 70 sports offerings, we have the 
widest coverage you can get at a budget-friendly rate and give your fantasy sports 
app rich in quality data it needs.
