Could you build this?
Partial Building the REST API wrapper is straightforward, but acquiring and maintaining real-time, low-latency live score feeds and match timelines across 58 global competitions requires dedicated data sourcing.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a distributed ingestion pipeline using Kafka or Redis Pub/Sub, backed by a fast caching layer (Redis) and PostgreSQL for historical stats. The difficult component is sourcing sub-second real-time event feeds—either requiring expensive enterprise sports data licensing (Opta, Sportradar) or building resilient scraping networks across dozens of bookmakers and sports websites that resist anti-bot detection.
