There needs to be a cricket version of this (especially with 5 day test matches). I don't know if the raw data is available without crazy licensing though.


I've been using SportMonks for football data and they do cricket too: https://www.sportmonks.com/cricket-api


Well this makes me appreciate the NHL/NFL/NBA/MLB free apis.


I've been using the free version of the football API from SportMonks whilst I write a client, but it's limited to just a few (not so popular) leagues. I intend on using it for commercial purposes in a few months though, and the price compared to Opta and SportRadar is much more reasonable.


As a weekend hack you could probably scrape cricinfo - used to do that with a shell script and the notify method in linux to pop up cricket scores.


That seems to be the blocker for a lot of sports stuff. Is there a freely available API?
