Free advanced analytics football API
Hi everyone, after the Fbref data lockdown of January I made a post here offering a database with advanced football metrics and the response I received was overwhelmingly positive.
Since then I've been working hard on building an API incorporating an event feed and creating a pipeline that will convert the feed into SPADL format and serve meaningful derived metrics directly via API instead of scraping it and storing it in a database.
This API serves post match data only like lineups, xG xGOT per shot with coordinates, xT and VAEP per player, GCA, SCA, xGChains, passing networks, momentum pressure index and much more.
Feel free to check out my docs page at pitchapi.dev to read more about the service. The VPS i currently use to host this can only handle around 100 requests per second so please use this with some rate limiting in mind.
I would love your feedback on this and any suggestions about how to improve the overall experience.
