Data Sources

Where do the league, team, player, and news data on SportOrbit come from?

SportOrbit combines data we curate ourselves with several external sources. Data depth varies by league – not all of our 79 leagues currently have full player profiles; some initially show only roster names.

Leagues, Teams & Rosters

Hand-researched and maintained: league structure, clubs, locations, rosters. Supplemented with championship history from Wikidata.

Standings & Schedules

Football: football-data.org. Basketball, ice hockey, handball, volleyball, rugby, cricket, baseball: Highlightly (sports.highlightly.net). Not available for every league – in that case we show curated base data only.

News

RSS feeds from established sports newsrooms (including Sportschau, kicker, BBC Sport, The Guardian, Sky Sports). Some summaries are AI-assisted and reviewed editorially before publishing.

Venues & Clubs Near You

OpenStreetMap, queried via the Overpass API.

Globe Imagery

NASA Earth Observatory (“Earth at Night” / Black Marble) for the night-lights texture, country borders from Natural Earth. Both public domain.
