5DollarFootballAPI is a football data service for developers seeking an affordable alternative to established sports APIs. It delivers clean JSON through a simple API, with live scores, fixtures, standings, team information and odds. The service covers more than 1,500 competitions, and its odds markets include European 1X2, Asian handicap, goal lines, corners, cards and both teams to score, with pre-match and in-play data.

A key focus is detailed corner and card coverage, including corner-line odds, league tables and timestamped match events. The Ultra plan also offers odds from additional bookmakers, esoccer data, multilingual team and league names, and historical price movements dating back to 2014. Pricing starts at $5 per month, with a free, no-card tier for the top five leagues. Separate free access programmes serve eligible individuals and educational institutions. Users can create an account, receive an API key and make requests to endpoints for fixtures, odds and standings. The company positions its offering around broad data access, straightforward pricing and useful markets often unavailable in lower-cost feeds.
