Overview

PandaScore is a comprehensive esports data API providing live and historical match results, team rosters, tournament brackets, and player stats across games like League of Legends, CS2, and Dota 2. You need a free API key to get started, and the free tier gives you access to most core endpoints. It is ideal for building esports dashboards, betting tools, or fantasy sports apps.

Beginner Tip

Register at pandascore.co for a free API key and start with the /leagues endpoint to see all supported esports leagues. Use the filter[videogame] parameter to narrow results to a specific game like league-of-legends or cs-go.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid API token in the request

✓ Include your token as a query parameter (?token=YOUR_API_KEY) or in the Authorization header as a Bearer token

422 Unprocessable Entity Using an invalid value for a filter parameter (e.g. misspelled game slug)

✓ Use the /videogames endpoint to get the exact slugs for supported games (e.g. league-of-legends, cs-go, dota-2)

Paginated results missing data The API defaults to 50 results per page but some endpoints have lower limits

✓ Use page[size] (max 100) and page[number] parameters to paginate, and check the X-Total header for total item count

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
