sportapi Live WebSocket Stream (sportapidata)

sportapi Live WebSocket Stream (sportapidata) is a websocket from sportapidata.com providing sports data. sportapi is a unified real-time sports data API delivering live scores, play-by-play, stats, and odds across 100+ leagues over the same payload via WebSocket push or REST. A Polymarket bot would subscribe to its sub-500ms WebSocket stream to detect goals/scores/momentum shifts and reprice in-game and game-outcome markets faster than the orderbook reacts.
