Introduction

Sports Open Data is a project started in June 2015 created by Paolo Riva and Riccardo Quatra. This project was born by a need we've found when looking for statistics in Sports: no website offers its data in an Open Data way. Sports Open Data will work in this way: by providing a JSON REST API, Sports Open Data allow you to manage data for every single match we've stored on our database. And that's not over: Sports Open Data has been structured as an Open Organization: feel free to partecipate to our project or simply be part of our community to make it grow day by day. Open Data created by users for users.

In just more than 1 year of life currently Sports Open Data has reached more than 150 followers on Twitter and a developers community, on Mashape, that has reached more than 1200 members: this is an amazing result that demonstrate how genuine should be what we do and what we deliver day by day to our users.

Currently we deliver through our apis data about Italian Serie A, Italian Serie B, English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and Dutch Eredivisie; we get this data through manually tecnique: this mode allow us to deliver them through open data policy (that you should find on our website in Terms and Conditions).

Feel free to visit our website on http://sportsopendata.net/ and contact us on social networks, by email, by skype or simply by a message here in Kickstarter: we're open to evaluate new project to integrate in Sports Open Data.

What are we going to do with this yearly support?

First of all we're going to improve our servers to deliver a service better than now. Currently we're working in initial server and we need to increase our infrastructure to be sure to deliver our data with an interesting increase of requests we've in these last months

Secondary we're going to draw a new logo. This logo should appear on Hat, Shirts and Key Chain available for our backers.

Of course we're going to buy some stuff made Sports Open Data.

Than we're going to get a new website with a more amazing template.
