FantasyData History

On April 16th, 2019, FantasyData split into two companies. SportsDataIO was born from our sister site FantasyData and houses all our commercial API business. FantasyData continued to operate as a consumer brand and usher in a new suite of consumer products.

Since 2008, FantasyData has been honored to power some of the fantasy industry's leading brands by providing data feeds that are custom-tailored for fantasy applications. With the repeal of PASPA, we have seen a surge in demand for data to power sports betting applications. SportsDataIO will allow us to continue providing cutting-edge solutions for this emerging market under a more inclusive brand name.
