NCAAB API
Welcome to the BALLDONTLIE NCAAB API, the best College Basketball (NCAAB DI) API on the planet. This API contains data from 2003 to now. An API key is required. You can obtain an API key by creating a free account on our website. Read the authentication section to learn how to use the API key.

MCP Server Integration
Connect to our sports data through any MCP-compatible client using our hosted MCP server. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows AI assistants to interact with our API through natural language.
Quick Setup
Add this configuration to your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, or any other MCP-compatible client):
{
"mcpServers": {
"balldontlie-api": {
"url": "https://mcp.balldontlie.io/mcp",
"transport": "http",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "YOUR_BALLDONTLIE_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Open Source Implementation
Check out our open-source MCP server implementation on GitHub: https://github.com/balldontlie-api/mcp
Usage Examples
Once configured, you can ask your AI assistant natural language questions like:
- "Show me the current AP Top 25 rankings"
- "Get Cooper Flagg's season stats"
- "What are today's NCAAB games?"
The MCP server provides access to all available API endpoints through conversational AI, making it easy to integrate sports data into any AI-powered application.
Account Tiers
There are three different account tiers which provide you access to different types of data. Visit our website to create an account for free.
Paid tiers do not apply across sports. The tier you purchase for NCAAB will not automatically be applied to other sports. You can purchase the ALL-ACCESS ($89.99/mo) tier to get access to every endpoint for every sport.
Read the table below to see the breakdown.
| Endpoint | Free | ALL-STAR | GOAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conferences | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Teams | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Players | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Standings | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Active Players | No | Yes | Yes |
| Games | No | Yes | Yes |
| Rankings | No | Yes | Yes |
| Play-by-Play | No | Yes | Yes |
| Player Stats | No | No | Yes |
| Team Stats | No | No | Yes |
| Player Season Stats | No | No | Yes |
| Team Season Stats | No | No | Yes |
| March Madness Bracket | No | No | Yes |
The feature breakdown per tier is shown in the table below.
| Tier | Requests / Min | $USD / mo. |
|---|---|---|
| GOAT | 600 | 39.99 |
| ALL-STAR | 60 | 9.99 |
| Free | 5 | 0 |
Authentication
To authorize, use this code:
curl "api_endpoint_here" -H "Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY"
// Using fetch
const response = await fetch("https://api.balldontlie.io/ncaab/v1/teams", {
headers: {
Authorization: "YOUR_API_KEY",
},
});
const data = await response.json();
# Using requests
import requests
response = requests.get(
'https://api.balldontlie.io/ncaab/v1/teams',
headers={'Authorization': 'YOUR_API_KEY'}
)
data = response.json()
Make sure to replace
YOUR_API_KEYwith your API key.
BALLDONTLIE uses API keys to allow access to the API. You can obtain an API key by creating a free account at our website
We expect the API key to be included in all API requests to the server in a header that looks like the following:
Authorization: YOUR_API_KEY
Pagination
This API uses cursor based pagination rather than limit/offset. Endpoints that support pagination will send back responses with a meta key that looks like what is displayed on the right.
{
"meta": {
"next_cursor": 90,
"per_page": 25
}
}
You can use per_page to specify the maximum number of results. It defaults to 25 and doesn't allow values larger than 100.
You can use next_cursor to get the next page of results. Specify it in the request parameters like this: ?cursor=NEXT_CURSOR.
Errors
The API uses the following error codes:
| Error Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 401 | Unauthorized - You either need an API key or your account tier does not have access to the endpoint. |
| 400 | Bad Request -- The request is invalid. The request parameters are probably incorrect. |
| 404 | Not Found -- The specified resource could not be found. |
| 406 | Not Acceptable -- You requested a format that isn't json. |
| 429 | Too Many Requests -- You're rate limited. |
| 500 | Internal Server Error -- We had a problem with our server. Try again later. |
| 503 | Service Unavailable -- We're temporarily offline for maintenance. Please try again later. |
