Cricket Live Line API — Ball by Ball Data for Betting & Fantasy Apps

What is a Cricket Live Line API?

A cricket live line API provides real-time, ball-by-ball cricket data — every delivery, every run, every wicket — as it happens on the field. Unlike basic score APIs that update every few minutes, a live line API gives you delivery-level granularity with ultra-low latency.

CricLive API is one of the fastest cricket live line APIs available — delivering ball-by-ball updates within seconds of each delivery being bowled.

What Live Line Data You Get

• 🎯 Ball-by-ball commentary — Every delivery with runs scored, extras, and dismissal details
• 📊 Current run rate (CRR) — Updated after every ball
• 🎯 Required run rate (RRR) — For the chasing team
• 🏏 Current batsmen — Live stats for both batsmen at the crease
• ⚡ Current bowler — Live figures for the bowler in action
• 📋 Over summary — Ball-by-ball breakdown of each over
• 🔔 Match events — Wickets, boundaries, sixes, milestones in real time
• 📈 Wagon wheel data — Shot direction and placement

Polling vs Webhooks

CricLive API supports two delivery methods for live line data:

• Polling — Call the API every 2-5 seconds to get the latest ball data. Simple to implement, works with any tech stack.
• Webhooks (Pro plan) — We push data to your server the moment each ball is bowled. Zero polling overhead, lowest possible latency.
