API for sports data. If you want to build a great product based on sporting data, it is crazy hard to get. I think someone that made the pipes to all sports data (stats, schedules, lines, etc) could facilitate a lot of good innovation and build a solid business.
Not sure if this is a VC scale business, but I think it should exist and I'd love to be a user if someone built it.

- tommynicholas 10y agoOH hai! Maybe this is it. Checking it out Edit: no gambling data. Maybe that's ok, but I'd want that too. Still looks pretty interesting thanks!

- tommynicholas 10y agoCool! Not at all what I want but also a neat thing in and of itself
- CamperBob2 10y agoThe incumbent sports organizations will fight you all the way. I wouldn't count on getting the express written consent of Major League Baseball, put it that way. Probably the best strategy is to give people an incentive -- even if only a social one -- to enter and maintain the data. WikiSports, basically.
- Senji 10y agoStats aren't copyrightable. You can build one without goodwill.
- psynapse 10y agoTXODDS has various pull/push APIs. Betting odds is the focus, but they have more fixture/stats/resulting services under development and can be approached for custom solutions. https://txodds.com/ https://txodds.com/
