What data does the Star Sports API provide?
PulseScore provides pre-match odds, live in-play odds, UK & Ireland horse & greyhound racing cards, and finished-match results from Star Sports' starsports.bet sportsbook across 21 sports. Each event includes normalized market data with canonical market types, selections, and both decimal and fractional odds, plus the raw market names as Star Sports displays them.
What sports are covered?
The 21 sports Star Sports publishes pre-match markets for: Soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Baseball, American Football, Australian Rules, Boxing, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, Formula 1, Golf, Ice Hockey, MMA, Motorsports, Politics, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, TV Specials, and Volleyball. Every sport exposes /leagues, /leagues/:league/events, /events (paginated), and /events/:eventId.
Does it include politics and TV specials markets?
Yes — Star Sports is the first bookmaker on PulseScore with dedicated politics and TV specials feeds. /api/starsports/politics/events covers election and political outright markets, and /api/starsports/tv-specials/events covers entertainment specials, both with the same canonical market structure as every sport.
Does it include horse racing?
Yes. Star Sports is a racing-first UK bookmaker: /api/starsports/horse-racing/races returns paginated upcoming races across UK & Ireland, and /api/starsports/greyhounds/races covers greyhound racing — each race with its runners, jockeys, trainers, current odds in decimal and fractional form, and each-way terms. Look up a single race with /races/:id.
Does it include match results?
Yes. /api/starsports/results returns finished events with their final score, most recent first. Filter by sport, league, or team (exact name, case-insensitive), look up a single result with /results/events/:eventId, or discover covered sports with /results/sports. Results are retained for 30 days after the match ends, and soccer results also carry the match clock and statistics where available.
How are the markets structured?
All markets use a canonical format: each market has a type (e.g., MATCH_RESULT, OVER_UNDER, ASIAN_HANDICAP), period (FULL_TIME, FIRST_HALF), and selections with decimal odds, fractional odds, and handicap lines where applicable. The same structure is shared across all sports and all bookmakers on PulseScore — write your integration once.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The BASIC plan is free and includes 500 API requests per month. Upgrade to PRO, MAX, or ULTRA for unlimited requests.
Does the Star Sports API support live in-play data?
Yes. Live in-play events are available via REST (/api/starsports/live-events, /live-events/sports, /live-events/events/:eventId) and via WebSocket at wss://api.pulsescore.net/api/starsports/ws/live. The WebSocket pushes every in-play event for the subscribed sport roughly every second, including live scores where available. PRO, MAX, and ULTRA plans only.
