Getting live-scores
To get the live-scores, you have to send an HTTP GET request to the following: /matches/live.football API endpoint and after the dot you need to provide the format of the response that you want to get. In case you do not provide an extension it will be in JSON format. Currently, we provide data feeds in JSON and XML formats. Here is the full list of urls that you can call to get the score of the football matches that are being played currently:
/matches/live.json- This request will give you live-scores in JSON format.

We support two response formats JSON and XML. If you want to find out more about our response formats you can visit our documentation reference on formats. Below we have listed a JSON examples of a response, but for more detailed explanation of the response you should read our live-score endpoint reference.
