Football Charts
Football Charts API v1: football league tables, match results, upcoming fixtures with calibrated Dixon-Coles probabilities, 10,000-run Monte Carlo season projections, 15-minute goal-timing distributions and public model calibration records across 98 leagues in 44 countries. Read-only; works without a key, a free key raises the daily quota.
Setup
Setting up takes about a minute. You do not need an API key: every tool works without one.
- Leave
FOOTBALL_CHARTS_API_KEYempty to use the keyless tier: 100 requests per day per IP address, 20 per minute. - Optional: register a free key for personal use at https://www.football-charts.com/developers and paste it into
FOOTBALL_CHARTS_API_KEY. It starts withfc_, is sent as theX-API-Keyheader and raises the quota to 200 requests per day per email address (60 per minute). - Install the connector and run
football_charts_list_leagues: it lists the 98 leagues with their competition key (such aspremier,spain1orgermany1) and season strings, which the other tools need.
What it reads: league tables (ordered by points, by points minus expected points, or by goals); finished results with half-time scores and first-goal minute; upcoming fixtures with calibrated Dixon-Coles (dc_v2) probabilities for home win, away win, goal lines and both teams to score (the draw is 1 minus home minus away); one match in full by its slug; daily 10,000-run Monte Carlo season projections for title, top four and relegation; goals per 15-minute interval for every team; team profiles; and the model's public calibration record (hit rate, Brier score, reliability buckets). Every answer includes source_url, the football-charts.com page with the same data. All tools only read.
Seasons: winter-calendar leagues use YYYY-YYYY (such as 2026-2027), summer-calendar leagues use YYYY (such as 2026). Leave the season out for the current one. Without a key, and with the free key, you get the current and previous season of each league. Paid API plans add historical seasons back to 2020 and per-match statistics on results. All dates and times are UTC.
Common errors: 401 means the key was not recognised: paste a key starting with fc_, or leave the field empty. 403 (season_gated) means the season is outside the free window, or the key has been disabled. 429 means you hit the rate limit: wait a minute or add a free key.
Football Charts publishes statistical probabilities and a settled calibration record, not betting advice or bookmaker odds.
