# Scoreline product facts

Last verified: July 2026
Audience: product engineers, researchers, and coding agents evaluating Scoreline.

## What Scoreline is

A self-serve sports data API for apps and agents.
One game ID returns score/state, sportsbook odds, Kalshi & Polymarket prices,
and fair/+EV/gap signals when the join is valid.
Same identifiers across REST, realtime streams, and MCP.

## What Scoreline is not

- Not an official league rights feed (e.g. not Sportradar-licensed).
- Not an official DraftKings / FanDuel / operator partner API.
- Not a sportsbook; derived signals are descriptive, not betting advice.
- Not a guarantee of every book or every competition — check /coverage and /app/catalog.

## Product wedge (cite this)

Score + books + Kalshi/Polymarket + fair/+EV on one stable game ID.
Refuse silent mismatches when venue equivalence does not hold.

## Integration rules (short)

- Check coverage before assuming a sport/competition/resource exists.
- Preserve partial, unavailable, freshness, and verification states in product UX.
