  • Mapped to your existing player, team and league IDs
  • Custom sources — bring your own accounts and we classify them

The part nobody wants to maintain

Finding social handles is easy. Keeping them accurate as accounts rebrand, athletes change teams, and new leagues launch is not. It is also entirely unrelated to whatever your product is actually for. SportFeeds maintains the handle registry so you can focus on your app.

What's in a social profile

Each profile links a real-world entity — a team, player, league or media account — to its active social handles. Profiles include the platform, handle, follower counts and metadata, and are exposed through the IDs endpoint alongside your existing identifiers.

  • Team, player, league and media account handles
  • Platform metadata and follower counts
  • External ID mappings so you query with your own IDs
  • Region availability and source classification data

Bring your own sources

Enterprise accounts can add custom sources. New accounts are classified to a sport and league automatically, and can be hard-mapped by you when you know better. Custom sources can be promoted to standard coverage later without breaking any links you have already built.

Frequently asked questions

Which platforms are covered?

Primary coverage is X, with verified handles maintained across teams, leagues, athletes and media accounts. Additional platforms are added as customer demand grows.

Can I add accounts you don't already cover?

Yes. Enterprise accounts can add custom sources, which are classified to a sport and league on arrival and can be hard-mapped by you.

How do I query by my own IDs?

The IDs endpoint accepts external ID providers and returns SportFeeds IDs alongside the social handles and metadata. You can also query using our universal league and sport codes.

How often are handles updated?

Handles are reviewed continuously and updated when accounts rebrand, move or are verified. The standard coverage page shows the current state per league.
