The football data API.
Every NFL play since 1999.
1.2 million plays carrying EPA and win probability, and 470,000 weekly stat lines underneath them. Next Gen Stats tracking, FTN charting, injuries, depth charts, snap counts and bookmaker odds sit in the same database. Call it over REST or point Claude at it over MCP. The first 500 credits are free and we do not ask for a card.

Coverage
Coverage you can inspect before you build.
Every regular season and playoff game since 1999, with consensus closing lines.
Play-by-play since 1999 with EPA, win probability, success rate, and CPOE.
Weekly player box scores since 1999 across passing, rushing, receiving, defense, kicking, and returns.
| Dataset | Seasons | Volume | Status | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Games and schedules Scores, kickoff (UTC), venue, surface, weather, rest days, starting QBs, coaches, referee, and the consensus closing spread, total, and moneylines. | 1999 to current | 7,500+ games | Full | |
Standings Computed from final scores: record, points, home/away/division/conference splits, streak, division rank, and conference playoff seed. | 1999 to current | 32 rows per season | Full Ranks apply the NFL tiebreaking procedure and report which step decided each position; conference_rank is the playoff seed, so division winners hold seeds 1-4. Net touchdowns and the coin toss, the ladder's last two steps, are not applied. | |
Weekly player stats 150 nflverse columns per player-week: passing, rushing, receiving, defense, kicking, punting, returns, fantasy points. | 1999 to current | 470,000+ stat lines | Full | |
Weekly team stats The same stat set aggregated per team and game, plus EPA and success. | 1999 to current | 14,000+ team-weeks | Full | |
Play-by-play 160 nflfastR columns per play: situation, result, EPA, WPA, win probability, CPOE, xPass, players involved, drive context. | 1999 to current | 1,200,000+ plays | Full | |
Injury reports Official weekly report: game status and practice participation with the injury named. | 2009 to current | 5,000+ rows per season | Full | |
Depth charts Weekly depth chart per team, formation, position, and rank. | 2001 to current | 32,000+ rows per season | Full 2025 onwards is a daily source; the last snapshot before each week's kickoff is kept. | |
Snap counts Offensive, defensive, and special-teams snaps and shares per player per game. | 2012 to current | 23,000+ rows per season | Full Keyed by PFR player id. | |
Odds and line movement Moneyline, spread, and total per bookmaker with opening, closing, and hourly history. | Consensus closing lines 1999 to current; per-book snapshots from 2026 | Hourly snapshots in-season | Partial Per-bookmaker history begins with the 2026 season. | |
Next Gen Stats and PFR advanced Tracking and charting metrics the box score does not carry: time to throw, air yards, completion percentage above expectation, separation, cushion, rush yards over expected, plus pressures, hurries, blitzes, drops, bad throws, missed tackles, and coverage yards allowed. | NGS 2016 to current, PFR 2018 to current | 149,000+ player-weeks | Full NGS rows key on GSIS player id, PFR rows on PFR id; week 0 on an NGS row is that season's aggregate. | |
FTN charting Manual play charting on top of play-by-play: starting hash, quarterback alignment, backfield and box counts, pre-snap motion, play action, screens, run-pass options, blitzer and pass-rusher counts, throwaways, contested balls, and drops. | 2022 to current | 187,000+ charted plays | Full Reached through get_plays with include_charting, or by filtering on a charting flag. Non-scrimmage plays are charted as 0 rather than left empty. |
Full detail in the data atlas. Sportsbooks: DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN BET. Per-bookmaker snapshots start with the 2026 season; earlier games carry the consensus closing line only.

Why trust it
The parts other feeds skip, because they are the hard parts.
Anyone can serve a box score. These are the three places where doing it properly costs real work, and where a shortcut shows.
Real tiebreakers, and the step that decided it
Standings follow the NFL's actual tiebreaking procedure — head-to-head, division record, common games, conference record, strength of victory, on down — and every rank reports which step settled it. Public feeds almost universally sort by win percentage and stop.
EPA and win probability on every play since
1.2 million plays, each already carrying expected points added and win probability, so situational analysis does not start with building the model. Yards treat all yards alike; the down marker does not.
Tracking and charting, keyed to the same players
Next Gen Stats tracking and FTN charting sit in the same database as the play-by-play, on the same identifiers. The join is the part that normally eats a week.
Tools
Every tool, and what a call costs.

Questions
The things people ask before signing up.
Is EndzoneAPI free?
Every account starts with 500 credits and no card. Calls cost 1 to 25 credits depending on the endpoint, so 500 is a few hundred real requests. Paid plans start at $19/mo for 10,000 credits a month, and wallet top-ups never expire.
How far back does the data go?
Play-by-play runs from 1999 to the current season, 1.2 million plays with EPA and win probability. Next Gen Stats tracking starts in 2016 and FTN charting in 2022; earlier seasons have the plays without those columns.
What is MCP, and do I need it?
MCP is the protocol Claude, Cursor and similar assistants use to call tools. Point one at https://football-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp with your key and it picks the endpoint and reads the response itself — no client code. If you are writing an application instead, ignore MCP and use the REST endpoints; they are the same 17 tools.
Can I use this commercially?
Yes, within the terms. The one thing to know is that odds data comes from a commercial provider, so reselling the odds themselves as a feed is not permitted — using them inside a product or a model is.
How current is it?
One update a day, at 6am Eastern: scores, standings, rosters, player and team stats, snap counts, injuries, odds and the previous day's play-by-play. There is no live in-game feed, and a game in progress is not reflected until the next morning.
Where do the advanced stats come from?
EPA and win probability come with the play-by-play. Next Gen Stats and Pro Football Reference supply the tracking and advanced columns, and FTN supplies charting — all keyed to the same players as the plays, which is the part that normally takes a week to reconcile.
What are the rate limits?
60 requests a minute, dropping to 10 if your credit balance falls below 100. The limit is the same on every plan — credits, not requests, are the spend boundary.
