Getting started
rugbyAPI serves rugby matches, lineups, timelines, tables, teams and players as JSON over HTTPS. Three steps take you from nothing to your first result.
1. Get a key
Sign in with Google. A free key is issued on the spot and shown once on your account. Copy it somewhere safe.
2. Make a call
Every call goes to https://api.rugbyapi.com/v1/ with your key in the Authorization header (or X-API-Key, see Authentication).
curl https://api.rugbyapi.com/v1/results \
-H "Authorization: Bearer rug_live_..."
3. Read the answer
Lists come back as count plus data; single things come back as the object itself. Every ID is permanent, every time is UTC and every missing value is null, never an empty string.
