Cricket API for Android App — Integrate Live Scores in Your Android App

Build a Cricket Android App with Live Scores

Want to build a cricket Android app that shows live scores, ball-by-ball commentary, and player stats? CricLive API is the easiest way to add real-time cricket data to your Android app — whether you are using Java, Kotlin, or Flutter.

Why CricLive API is Perfect for Android Apps

• REST API — Works with any HTTP client (OkHttp, Retrofit, Volley, Dio)
• JSON responses — Clean, structured data that is easy to parse
• Fast — Average response time under 200ms globally
• Free tier — 500 calls/day free. No credit card.
• Reliable — 99.9% uptime, so your app never shows stale scores

Step 1 — Get Your Free API Key

Sign up at cricketliveapi.com/register and get your API key instantly. It takes under 2 minutes.

Step 2 — Add Retrofit to Your Android Project

// build.gradle (app)
dependencies {
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0"
    implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0"
}

Step 3 — Create the API Interface (Kotlin)

interface CricLiveApi {
    @GET("live-scores")
    suspend fun getLiveScores(
        @Header("Authorization") token: String
    ): Response
}

// Initialize Retrofit
val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
    .baseUrl("https://cricketliveapi.com/api/v1/")
    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
    .build()

val api = retrofit.create(CricLiveApi::class.java)

Step 4 — Fetch Live Scores in Your Activity

// In your ViewModel or Activity
viewModelScope.launch {
    val response = api.getLiveScores("Bearer YOUR_API_KEY")
    if (response.isSuccessful) {
        val matches = response.body()?.data
        // Update your RecyclerView adapter
        adapter.submitList(matches)
    }
}

Flutter Integration

import "package:http/http.dart" as http;
import "dart:convert";

Future fetchLiveScores() async {
  final response = await http.get(
    Uri.parse("https://cricketliveapi.com/api/v1/live-scores"),
    headers: {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"},
  );
  final data = jsonDecode(response.body);
  return data["data"];
}
