API-Sports, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your API-Sports account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What API-Sports is

API-Sports provides comprehensive sports data APIs covering over 2,000 competitions with more than 15 years of historical data, offering real-time updates and easy integration for developers.

You paste in a key from your own API-Sports account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside API-Sports whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in API-Sports.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in API-Sports. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own API-Sports account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your API-Sports account.

  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in API-Sports is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.

It works in API-Sports and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

How does it get into my API-Sports account?
You paste in a key from your own API-Sports account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside API-Sports whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
