## Get started in three steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your API key">
    Contact Sportrix Data to create your account and receive your `sk_` API key with the scopes your use case requires.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the REST API">
    Browse sports and leagues, then query matches by status or date range — all with a single `X-API-Key` header.

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl https://api.sportrixdata.com/api/sports \
      -H "X-API-Key: sk_your_api_key_here"
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Subscribe to live updates">
    Connect to the WebSocket stream and subscribe to any live match by its `match_id` to receive real-time score and statistics updates.

    ```json theme={null}
    { "action": "subscribe", "match_id": 41282 }
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Two delivery surfaces

Sportrix Data exposes your sports data through two complementary interfaces:

| Surface       | Best for                                             | Base URL                                  |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **REST API**  | Fixture browsing, on-demand snapshots, final results | `https://api.sportrixdata.com/api`        |
| **WebSocket** | Real-time live scores and statistics streaming       | `wss://scores.sportrixdata.com/v1/stream` |

<Note>
  All requests require an `X-API-Key` header. Contact [support@sportrixdata.com](mailto:support@sportrixdata.com) to get your key.
