Coverage spans 41 competitions back to 1871, with over 31,000 matches. Data is cleaned and flagged before it reaches your code. It fits sports apps, fantasy games, media outlets, and anyone training models on rugby history. A free key with no card means readers can try it the same day. Archive and Live open every season since 1871 and push results as they land, so upgrades feel easy.

The commission ladder
Bring more customers. Earn more on every one.
Every partner starts at 10% recurring. Each step up raises your rate on every renewal you earn, not only new sales. 13 steps, from 10% to 15%.
Paying customers count
Customers still subscribed, across every ladder program. A sign-up that cancels drops out.
Checked on the 5th
Your level is set once a month, on payout day. It never moves mid-month.
Your whole book rises
A new level applies to every renewal from then on, including customers you sent before.
One step down at most
If cancellations take you under a level, you drop one step at the next check, never more. Past commission never changes.
