API terms

What you may do

The directory data is licensed CC BY 4.0. You may copy, adapt and use it for any purpose, commercial included, as long as you credit Hat Trick Local.

Credit it with this sentence, or an equivalent one with the link: "Youth soccer club data: Hat Trick Local - https://hattricklocal.com/soccer/directory-data".

Use the API, not the pages

Read the data through this API rather than by scraping the website. Automated agents, search engines and AI assistants may read only the public read API and its OpenAPI description; every other API address refuses them.

Limits

Up to 60 requests a minute per address. Do not spread requests across addresses or accounts to get around the limit. Identify your client with a descriptive User-Agent that includes a way to reach you.

What the data is

Listings and season facts come from organizations' own pages, owner claims and staff review, and each record says how it was verified and when. The data is provided as is, without a promise that it is complete or current; confirm details with the organization before acting on them.

No personal data

The API carries no personal data about players, families, customers, orders or payments. Do not try to obtain such data through it or through the website.

Changes

New fields and endpoints may be added at any time. A change that breaks existing clients goes to a new version (/v2) that runs alongside this one for at least six months, and is announced in the changelog.
