Can I try rugby before I pay?

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

What does the Rugby plan include?

Every rugby endpoint, live and upcoming included, the full history we hold, 120 calls a minute and 250,000 a month, for $29 a month or $290 a year.

Does it answer like the other sports?

Yes. Rugby 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 rugby endpoint into a tool, on the same key.
