Import data from "api-football.com" (v3)
1. Choose API Import subscription plan at api-football.com
Go to https://www.api-football.com/pricing and select the subscription plan you want.
For most users, a PRO plan will suffice.
Recommended using a direct subscription - https://dashboard.api-football.com/register
After registration, you are on a Free plan with 100/requests per day and some limitations per minute/hour.
To buy a subscription see the screenshot below.
P.S.: I am not affiliated with this API. It is a third-party API used to import data into the Football Leagues plugin. Although it has room for improvement, it is still worth the money compared to other APIs in this price range.
2. Set API key and Import Settings
Go to the "FL+ Configurator" (2) >> "Import API" (3), enter your API key (4), and set the request URL (5).
If you buy a subscription on RapidAPI, set "RapidApi account" or set "Direct" if you buy a subscription in https://dashboard.api-football.com/
Then check API Import functionality (6) you want and save.
If you plan to use advanced club and players statistics, go to the "Settings & Tools" >> "FL+ Statistics":
- for the club statistics >> click "Add Them All" in "Available API Club Advanced Statistics"
- for the player statistics >> click "Load API Stats Structure"
3. Create Import Configuration
Import Regular Round-Robin Competition
Tutorial - API Import Configuration: Round-Robin Competition (like regular national league)
Import Multistage Competition
Tutorial - API Import Configuration: Multistage Competition (like international cup)
Add active leagues to the Dashboard for operational management.
4. Create Standing Tables (optional)
Go to the "Competitions" (1) >> "Standing Tables" (2) and click "Add New Standing Table" (3)
Select appropriate competition and click "Select".
Set proper Ranking Rules and other settings and Save.
5. Create page templates in Layout Builder (optional)

I can use the free plan, to add a championship to test ?
How do I choose a league with the free plan?
Hello
Yes, you can use a free plan. But do not import players because it requires a lot of requests. And use a direct subscription (not rapid-api).
Follow the tutorial above.

How to add the channel name that streams the match. Ex.: Eurosport, fox tv and so on
I'm suddenly having a problem!
Request failed with status code 400Error/Missing application key. Go to https://www.api-football.com/documentation-v3 to learn how to get your API application key.
i am thinking to build my app on this widget and API. Is the project still alive? Lookes like they stopped responding a year ago
Is 1GB DB enough for the project? What is the rule for past and future fixtures? What I mean is. How far in the future will the fixtures be loaded and at what point will the past fixtures be deleted?
Can I import API also to AnWP Sports Leagues Premium? Where do I do that? Thank you.
I am working on implementing NFL import to the Sports Leagues plugin. I hope it will be ready in a week.

Hm, I wish to import API Football, but for volleyball, to AnWP Sports Leagues Premium. Is that possible? Or will that be possible and when? Thank you. All best, Marko
Hi, can I ask you again. Is possilbe to import API on AnWP Sports Leagues Premium plugin, as you explained in the article above for Football Leagues Plugin? Thank you for your explanation. All best, take care, Marko
Hi,
The API for volleyball data contains only a limited amount of information.
For example, see game output - https://api-sports.io/documentation/volleyball/v1#tag/Games
Only scores, no lineups, no game stats, no game events.
I am thinking of adding another data provider support for other sports. But it will require much time to implement.
Please reach out to me again in 2-3 months with the same question.
