The sports data API market has a pricing problem. Vendors charge $99–$299/mo per sport, gate the good endpoints behind enterprise contracts, and charge per-call on top. If you're building a DFS app, a betting analytics tool, or a sports news site across multiple leagues, you're looking at $600–$1,200/mo before writing a single line of product code.
PropSports was built to power PropBetEdge.ai — every HR pick, K prop, alt prop, and spread bet on that platform runs on it. The infrastructure is paid for. You get the same Cloudflare edge setup, the same official source connections, the same latency. Except you pay $24/mo for all four sports with no per-call fees. Ever.

Today's Live Slate — April 7, 2026
This is what /mlb/schedule/today returns right now. 15 games. Every matchup, probable pitcher, venue, and game time. The same response you'd get if you hit the endpoint yourself this second.
STATCAST Live from Baseball Savant
This is what /mlb/statcast/batters returned from Baseball Savant this morning. Real exit velocity leaders — last 14 days, MLB/AAA/AA levels. Most sports data vendors don't have direct Savant access. This is the same data FanGraphs and The Athletic run on.
Official sources only. MLB Stats API, Baseball Savant, NHL Stats, NBA Stats, ESPN. The exact data ESPN, The Athletic, and FanGraphs run on. We just wrap it cleanly and cheaply.

BUILD What Developers Are Actually Building
DFS lineup optimizer. Pull Statcast exit velocity leaders, confirmed lineups, umpire assignments, and park weather — all from one key. Today's slate has Yamamoto vs Gausman at Rogers Centre and Skubal vs Bradley at Target Field. Wind, park factor, umpire tendencies — all in one call stack.
Prop bet research tool. Combine player gamelogs with current MLB odds. A hitter with a 75% hardHit rate (like Tolbert today) facing a pitcher with a high barrel rate allowed in a hitter-friendly park is a data story. PropSports gives you every data point in that sentence from a single API key.
Sports automation bot. Poll /mlb/schedule/today, /nba/schedule/today, and /nhl/schedule/today every morning. Feed all of it into a Claude API call with a preview-writing prompt. Auto-generate and publish 20+ game previews per day across all four sports — no keyboard required. The no-per-call pricing makes cron-based bots economically viable in a way that per-call pricing never does.
Live score Discord/Slack bot. Poll live endpoints every 60 seconds during game windows. Push score updates to a channel. At competitors' per-call pricing, this would cost $80–$120/mo at normal polling frequency. Here it's $24/mo total, all four sports.
