The same call in both APIs
No public self-serve API docs. Esports coverage ships inside a broader multi-sport enterprise feed. Sold through sales, by contract.
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://kashrock.up.railway.app/v6/esports/cs2/matches?status=upcoming"
Sportradar's esports offering sits inside a sportsbook-wide enterprise contract. KashRock is esports-only and self-serve from day one.
Not part of the enterprise sports-data suite. Built for official league feeds and sportsbook trading, not DFS pick'em.
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://kashrock.up.railway.app/v6/esports/cs2/props"
One propId across books. Over and under share it.
Switch from Sportradar for esports
- 1
Stop waiting on procurement.
Create a Sandbox key now. No contract, no region review, no legal sign-off — props, matches, and live scoreboards work immediately on every sport so you can prove the schema fits before anything is signed.
- 2
Swap the enterprise feed for a header.
KashRock: X-API-Key on every /v6 call. No integration call with a sales engineer required to get a key, and no separate widget SDK to install.
- 3
Pull esports directly, not a slice of a 40-sport feed.
GET /v6/esports/{sport}/matches?status=upcoming for schedules, GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/games for live scores — esports-only endpoints, not a general sports package you filter down to the titles you actually need.
- 4
Add the DFS board Sportradar doesn't sell.
GET /v6/esports/{sport}/props for DFS lines. Grade with GET /v6/esports/{sport}/results on the same stat_type — a product line Sportradar doesn't offer self-serve at all.
Why esports builders switch
- —You can see the price before a call — no procurement cycle, no region review, so budgeting doesn't wait on an account manager.
- —You only need esports. Paying for a 40-sport enterprise feed to reach it is a bad trade for a small team.
- —You need DFS-book props (PrizePicks, Underdog, and more), not just official league fixtures — a board Sportradar's enterprise feed doesn't include at all.
- —You ship this week, not next quarter after legal and a contract review, since Sandbox needs no procurement step to start.
