The Padel API uses API tokens to authenticate requests. These are provided to you on your API Tokens management page.
To authenticate, you need to include an Authorization header in all of your requests. In this header, you must state that you're using an API token (similar to HTTP basic access authentication).
For example:
curl -i -X GET \
'https://padelapi.org/api/seasons' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN_HERE'Either if the API key isn't valid, or you don't provide an Authorization header at all, you'll receive a 401 status code as response
To guarantee the highest data quality and consistency, Padel API currently focuses on the following tournament levels.
This ensures comprehensive and timely coverage of draws, schedules, matches, results, and statistics.
Feature availability varies by tournament level. Refer to the tables below for the current availability of Results, Stats, and Live coverage. For guidance on keeping your local data up to date, see the Data Synchronization guide.
Lower-tier events (such as FIP Rise, FIP Promises, national or exhibition events, and qualifiers) may have incomplete or inconsistent data at the source, so we cannot guarantee the same quality.

The Padel API limits the number of requests you can make to protect the service and ensure fair usage for all users.
| Limit | Free | Analyst & Pro | Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Requests per minute | 10 | 60 | 500 |
| Requests per day | 2,000 | 4,000 | 100,000 |
| Requests per month | 50,000 | 50,000 | 2,000,000 |
When you exceed a rate limit, the API returns a 429 Too Many Requests error. Wait until the limit resets before making additional requests.
The API includes the following headers in responses to help you track your usage:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-RateLimit-Limit |
Maximum number of requests allowed per minute |
X-RateLimit-Remaining |
Number of requests remaining in the current window |
Several endpoints return paginated results.
By default, the Padel API only returns the first 15 results for those endpoints. You can use optional query parameters to increase or decrease the number of results.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
per_page |
Number of results to return per page (default: 15, min: 1, max: 50) |
page |
Page number to retrieve |
The Padel API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate whether a request was successful (2XX codes) or resulted in an error (4XX and 5XX codes).
See the Error Codes page for details on each status code.
