Sport Places

API

Crowdsourced global directory of sports venues via API

Overview

The Sport Places API grants access to a crowdsourced database of sports venues worldwide. Key endpoints include geographic search (by coordinates or region), sport type filtering (e.g., running, football), and venue detail retrieval (amenities, opening hours, user reviews). Responses are JSON-formatted, ideal for integration into fitness apps, travel platforms, or event planning tools. Use cases include helping athletes find nearby training spots, travel apps curating sports-friendly destinations, and organizers scouting event venues with specific amenities.
