stand out in the eyes of fantasy sports players.
This is where some fantasy sports operators are
winning the race by using Sports APIs to fuel
their growth in the market. APIs for data sports
have emerged as the backbone of the fantasy
gaming industry. Sports Feed APIs help Fantasy

If you are thinking about starting your own app,
you must already know what is fantasy sports. You
can skip to the next part but for those who have
only a vague idea about fantasy sports read on.
Fantasy sports are online games that would
involve predictions. To participate, players
would need to create their own virtual team from
a list of proxy sports players. Based on the
performance of the players in real-time matches
their proxies would fetch fantasy points. And
simply the one with the most fantasy points in
the competition would win. Now given the
popularity of fantasy sports, players have
multiple choices when it comes to choosing the
app. As an operator, you need to have a thorough
understanding of what customers need and provide
that to beat the competition.

As per the fantasy sports trade association in
India alone 18 crore people know about Fantasy
sports and enjoy taking part in it. With such a
big market there come a lot of opportunities as
well, and you can too cash in on the craze and
increase your revenue over time.  Coming on to
the next topic, sports API! What is it? How is it
beneficial for the operators?  Sports API is
essentially an interface that connects two
applications so that transfer of sports-related
data like live scores, player stats, team stats,
match details, and other such detailed
information can take place at a faster rate. Some
sports data providers will also give you access
to customized plans which will further make
things easier. You can even easily expand your
business offerings as well with access to
different types of formats. The aim is to cut
down the time taken to integrate and keep
interference to the minimum.

Now that the basic two terms are clear, how can
you get started with the fantasy sports
business? Sports API makes it easy for you to
run your business, first, you need to decide what
sports categories would you be offering. Please
note that you need to exercise caution in this
area as well. You need to observe the behavior of
the audience and do thorough research on which
sports would have a maximum reach, and which
sports have the most sports loyalty which would
in turn make it easier to pitch fantasy sports to
them and maximize return.

Once the sports categories are locked in, you can
start searching for a reliable sports data
provider that can give you the required API for
sports scores. There is a number of options for
sports data providers thus selecting the right
one is all the more difficult. Data is one of
the most basic offerings of any fantasy game thus
you need to secure a reliable and trustworthy
source of the data provider. Further, it could be
a costly affair to switch as well later in the
future therefore a well-researched-based
selection would reap future benefits and would
save you money in the long term. Now, there are
a few attributes that sports data providers need
to meet 
7
Firstly, we have a Comprehensive Sports
Catalogue, taking the future into account select
the sports data provider that has a vast sports
catalog which would essentially make expansion
easy for you later down the line.  The second is
accuracy. The degree of quality of data you offer
would vastly affect your business, low data
quality could even hurt your credibility in the
market and cost you your clients trust which is
hard to re-earn.

Third, Live data. Since fantasy sports are
directly dependent on live data, you need to test
the Sports API beforehand to check the rate of
latency. For a successful fantasy sports app, you
need to deliver quick and reliable data to the
end users while elevating their experience.
Last, support and integration service, the
sports live scores API needs to integrate into
the system quickly and it needs to be easy, many
providers even offer open documentation to make
this step easy for you. Also, their support
service needs to have a fast turnaround time so
that any technical issue should not affect the
day-to-day business operations.

The list above is not exhaustive there are a lot
of other pointers, like affordability what other
add-on services are they offering, and so on.
This is where Data Sports Group comes in we offer
the best sports data from a wide range of
international, and Domestic competitions. With 70
