Sports, distributed: the FanFeedr API

Posted: December 12th, 2009 | Author: Ty | Filed under: API, Aggregation, Distribution, Release | View Comments

We relaunched our API tonight, and it has several sizes that should fit your sporting needs.

What would I do with the FanFeedr API?

• You could build a temple to the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox
• You could create a daily sports email newsletter that has personalized headlines
• You could supplement your smart NFL coverage with all of the relevant headlines for a team or player
• You could build a mobile sports application

Essentially, you can build a robust sports application with headlines, info and tweets from the best sources in sports.

What sports can I access using the API?

• NFL
• MLB
• NBA
• NHL
• Soccer (or Football, if you prefer)
• NCAA football
• NCAA basketball
• NCAA women’s basketball
• Tennis
• Golf
