Free Cricket API 🍔

Live Cricket Score API 🏏

unofficial API Data Fetched from Cricbuzz.com

This is an unofficial API and not Linked or Partnered with Any Brands/Company.

Recently we shutdown our Free API Server due to bulk API Calls Personally we Suggest you to Self Host this API on your server - instant Deploy on Vercel or create Docker Container - https://github.com/sanwebinfo/cri-deploy#free-deploy-

How it Works? 🤔

Everything is scraped live and shown to end users in realtime.

## Get Live Match URL (Cricbuzz URL will be added in config.php file) - Only for Testing the API
https://localhost:6002/live.php

## Get match from the cricbuzz URL
