Can I try basketball before I pay?

Yes. The free key reads yesterday's basketball data on every endpoint except live and fixtures, 50 calls a day, no card.

What does the Basketball plan include?

Every basketball endpoint, live and upcoming included, the full history we hold, 120 calls a minute and 250,000 a month, for $49 a month or $490 a year.

Does it answer like the other sports?

Yes. Basketball answers in the same shape as every other sport, through the same key, so code written for one reads the rest.

Can I use it with Claude?

Yes. The MCP server turns each basketball endpoint into a tool, on the same key.
