NBA API

Live NBA basketball data from ESPN's public data feeds: teams, rosters, team and player stats, conference standings, box scores, schedules and scores, league leaders, fantasy projections, betting odds and the injury report. No API key needed.

Each run executes one task and returns one dataset item with the result in data.

Quick start

{
  "task": "teams"
}

More examples:

{ "task": "standings" }
{ "task": "team_roster", "team": "LAL" }
{ "task": "team_stats", "team": "BOS", "season": 2025 }
{ "task": "player_stats", "playerName": "Stephen Curry" }
{ "task": "player_stats", "playerId": 1966 }
{ "task": "schedule", "date": "2026-10-21" }
{ "task": "game_stats", "gameId": 401909834 }
{ "task": "leaders", "leaderCategory": "assists" }
{ "task": "fantasy_projections", "limit": 25 }
{ "task": "betting_odds" }
{ "task": "injury_report", "team": "LAL" }

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`task`	string	`"teams"`	Which data to fetch (see Tasks)
`teamId`	integer	-	Team number 1-30, alphabetical by city: 1=Hawks, 2=Celtics, 7=Mavericks, 10=Warriors, 14=Lakers, 17=Bucks, 20=Knicks, 21=Thunder. `team_roster` and `team_stats` default to 14 (Lakers)
`team`	string	-	Team abbreviation (LAL, BOS, GSW, NYK, MIL, OKC). Takes priority over `teamId`. Also filters `schedule`, `betting_odds`, `injury_report` and `fantasy_projections`
`playerId`	integer	-	ESPN athlete id for `player_stats`. 1966=LeBron James, 3975=Stephen Curry, 3945274=Luka Doncic, 3112335=Nikola Jokic. Ids also appear in roster and leaders output
`playerName`	string	-	Player name lookup for `player_stats` when you do not know the id
`gameId`	integer	-	ESPN game id for `game_stats` (required for that task). Get it from `schedule`
`season`	integer	current	Season START year: 2026 = 2026-27, 2025 = 2025-26
`date`	string	today	YYYY-MM-DD for `schedule` and `betting_odds`
`leaderCategory`	string	`"points"`	points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, fg_pct, ft_pct, three_pct
`limit`	integer	50	Players returned by `fantasy_projections` (1-200, sorted by fantasy ownership)
`demoMode`	boolean	`false`	Return a small fixed SAMPLE dataset instead of live data (free, labelled `source: "sample"`)
`webhookUrl`	string	-	POST the result to this URL (Zapier, Make, n8n or your own endpoint)

Output

Every run pushes one item:

{
  "task": "standings",
  "success": true,
  "source": "espn",
  "timestamp": "2026-10-22T19:45:38.667Z",
  "season": 2026,
  "seasonLabel": "2026-27",
  "count": 30,
  "data": { "eastern": [ ... ], "western": [ ... ] }
}

If live data cannot be fetched, or the input is invalid (for example game_stats without gameId), the item has "success": false and an error message, and no task event is charged. Live runs never fall back to sample data.

Pricing

Pay per event. You pay only for what a run delivers.

Event	When it is charged	Price
Actor start	Once when the run starts, one event per GB of memory (minimum one). At the default 1 GB of memory that is $0.10 per run	$0.10 per GB
NBA Teams List	Fetch all 30 NBA teams with basic info	$0.001
NBA Team Roster	Get full roster with player details for a team	$0.002
NBA Team Stats	Fetch team season statistics	$0.002
NBA Standings	Get conference standings with W/L records	$0.001
NBA Player Stats	Fetch player season averages and stats	$0.002
NBA Game Stats	Get box score for a specific game	$0.003
NBA Schedule	Fetch games for a date range	$0.002
NBA League Leaders	Get stat leaders (points, assists, rebounds)	$0.002
NBA Fantasy Projections	Get fantasy projections for players	$0.005
NBA Betting Odds	Fetch betting lines and odds	$0.005
NBA Injury Report	Get the current injury report for all teams or one team	$0.002
Result	Each item written to the default dataset	$0.00001

An injury_report with no listed injuries carries no task charge. Demo mode and failed tasks carry no task charge. This actor needs very little memory, so you can lower the run memory (for example to 1 GB) to cut the start fee.

Notes

Data comes from ESPN's public endpoints and updates as ESPN updates (scores live during games, injuries several times a day).
playerId is an ESPN athlete id. Ids from older versions of this actor (BALLDONTLIE ids such as 237) now point to different, often retired players; the output adds a warning when the player is inactive. Use playerName if unsure.
Betting odds are the consensus line ESPN shows (currently DraftKings). Odds appear only for games that have a posted line.

Troubleshooting

success: false with "ESPN has no data for that request": the id, season or date does not exist on ESPN. Check gameId/playerId, or run schedule/team_roster to find valid ids.

Empty data for schedule or odds: there are no games on that date (offseason, All-Star break).

"Live NBA data is unavailable right now": ESPN did not respond after three tries. Run again in a minute.
