API.SH vs the official Cricbuzz API

Cricbuzz does not offer a public developer API. The 'Cricbuzz Cricket' APIs on RapidAPI and the projects on GitHub are unofficial third-party services. API.SH reads the public Cricbuzz pages and returns matches, scorecards, players and more as JSON.

Instead of building a Cricbuzz scraper in Python that breaks when the site changes, or relying on an unofficial RapidAPI listing, API.SH gives you 20 cricket endpoints behind one key at a fixed price per call.

Cricbuzz API questions

What Cricbuzz data can I get?+

Matches (/cricbuzz/v1/matches, /cricbuzz/v1/match), scorecards (/cricbuzz/v1/scorecard), commentary and overs (/cricbuzz/v1/commentary, /cricbuzz/v1/overs), squads (/cricbuzz/v1/squads, /cricbuzz/v1/series-squads), players (/cricbuzz/v1/player, /cricbuzz/v1/player-matches), teams (/cricbuzz/v1/teams, /cricbuzz/v1/team, /cricbuzz/v1/team-matches), series (/cricbuzz/v1/series-list, /cricbuzz/v1/series, /cricbuzz/v1/points-table), rankings and standings (/cricbuzz/v1/rankings, /cricbuzz/v1/icc-standings), venues (/cricbuzz/v1/venue) and news (/cricbuzz/v1/news, /cricbuzz/v1/news-story).

How much does the Cricbuzz API cost?+

Every Cricbuzz endpoint costs 1 credit per call. On a monthly plan 1,000 credits cost $1 (Starter is $50/month for 50,000 credits). Pay-as-you-go is $2 per 1,000 credits, with top-ups from $15 that never expire.

Is there a free trial?+

Yes. Every account gets 1,000 free credits every month. That is 1,000 calls to /cricbuzz/v1/commentary at 1 credit each.

Is there an official Cricbuzz API?+

No. Cricbuzz does not publish a developer API; the Cricbuzz APIs on RapidAPI and GitHub are unofficial. API.SH is also independent of Cricbuzz and reads its public pages.

Do I need a Cricbuzz account or login?+

No. API.SH reads public Cricbuzz pages only. No endpoint uses a login, cookies or anyone's account.

Is there a free Cricbuzz API?+

Every API.SH account gets 1,000 free credits every month, which covers plenty of live score and scorecard calls for a hobby project or prototype.

How do I fetch live cricket scores from Cricbuzz in Python?+

Call /cricbuzz/v1/matches with status=live using requests or the API.SH Python SDK, then pass a match_id to /cricbuzz/v1/scorecard or /cricbuzz/v1/commentary. No HTML parsing is needed.

How do I get started?+

1. Sign up at api.sh. 2. Copy your API key. 3. Call /cricbuzz/v1/matches with status=live to get today's live matches and their scores. Request examples and every parameter are in the docs at https://api.sh/docs. You can also use the JS or Python SDK, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n or the MCP server at https://api.sh/mcp.
