Get Your Free Cricket API Key Right Now

Getting a free cricket API key from CricLive API is the fastest way to start building cricket apps. This guide walks you through the entire process — from signup to your first live score API call — in under 2 minutes.

Step 1 — Sign Up for Free

Go to cricketliveapi.com/register and fill in:

• Your name
• Email address
• Password

Click "Create Account". No credit card required. No phone number. Just your email.

Step 2 — Verify Your Email

Check your inbox for a verification email from CricLive API. Click the verification link. You will be redirected to your dashboard automatically.

Step 3 — Copy Your API Key

On your dashboard, you will see your API key displayed prominently. It looks like this:

clv_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6

Click "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. Keep this key secret — do not share it publicly or commit it to GitHub.

Step 4 — Make Your First API Call

Test your API key immediately with this curl command:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" 
  https://cricketliveapi.com/api/v1/live-scores

You will get a JSON response with all currently live cricket matches. If there are no live matches, you will get an empty array — try the schedule endpoint instead:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" 
  https://cricketliveapi.com/api/v1/matches/upcoming
