Always copy the exact host from the RapidAPI Endpoints tab for the API you subscribed to.

Quick start

Every request needs two headers: X-RapidAPI-Key (your key) and X-RapidAPI-Host (the sport you are calling). Keep the key on the server — never ship it in browser or mobile code.

cURL

curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://footapi7.p.rapidapi.com/api/matches/live' \
  --header 'X-RapidAPI-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'X-RapidAPI-Host: footapi7.p.rapidapi.com'

Python

import os, requests

url = "https://footapi7.p.rapidapi.com/api/matches/live"
headers = {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": os.environ["RAPIDAPI_KEY"],
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "footapi7.p.rapidapi.com",
}

resp = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=15)
resp.raise_for_status()
print(len(resp.json().get("events", [])), "live matches")

JavaScript

const res = await fetch("https://footapi7.p.rapidapi.com/api/matches/live", {
  headers: {
    "X-RapidAPI-Key": process.env.RAPIDAPI_KEY,
    "X-RapidAPI-Host": "footapi7.p.rapidapi.com",
  },
});
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data.events?.length, "live matches");

Examples

Example	Python	JavaScript	What it shows
Quickstart	quickstart.py	quickstart.js	Auth → live matches → parse events
