# Machina Sports Machina's sports intelligence APIs for agents. World Cup 2026: canonical entity resolution across providers, fixtures, standings, squads, injuries, per-player performance context, Dixon-Coles match forecasts with historical backtests, and finished editorial content. Prediction markets: paste a Kalshi or Polymarket game link and get reference prices across supported venues, with timestamps and coverage. Every endpoint is a synchronous POST that returns grounded, source-cited JSON. ## API reference, endpoint lookup and prices **[Machina Sports API catalog: endpoints, request parameters, prices and payment methods](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/zeroclick/agent/guide).** Tell the seller advisor what you want to accomplish. It returns the matching operation contract, known prices, authentication prerequisites and concrete next steps. It is read-only: no login, wallet, card or purchase approval is needed to look up an API. It never executes a sale. Available API services: Finished Content, Forecasts, Market Link Snapshot, Match Context. **Suggested next request:** GET [task guide](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/zeroclick/agent/guide?goal=URL_ENCODED_TASK). Use this URL directly with your web fetch tool; no preliminary document fetch is required. Include known inputs and desired output in the goal. Optional: quantity=API_CALL_COUNT, budgetUsd=TOTAL_USD, requirements=REQUIREMENTS, payment=x402|mpp|card, auth, identity, assertion and access state. Omit unknowns. Do not equate output items with API calls or guess a call count. For private task details or known request arguments, POST https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/zeroclick/agent/guide with Content-Type: application/json. Example: {"intent":"quote","goal":"YOUR_TASK","purchase":{"budgetUsd":"5.00"}}. Replace the task and budget with known facts; budgetUsd is a string. Include known buyerState, paymentCapabilities and arguments. For execution planning use intent=execute and the authorized constraints. Exact fields: [request schema](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/zeroclick/agent/schema). GET and POST are alternatives, not mandatory stages. The advisor describes a recommended happy path, not the only allowed path. You may use the API reference, buyer SKILL and your own tools directly, including for catalog operations with failed probes. Missing guidance or an unverified probe is not a policy refusal. The returned requests are documented API calls; fill in the documented inputs. Check usage cost AND minimum cash required against the budget. For needs_input, supply only missing facts. Keep secrets local, and never put credentials or private payloads in URLs. Unknown does not mean absent. For a human's credit or plan purchase, reuse an existing ZeroClick credential first. Otherwise use their signed-in Link account for identity as well as payment, sharing their email only if they agree. An empty or expired Link credential list means request a credential, not fall back to anonymous. Follow [Link identity setup](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/auth.md#link-identity-preview) through issuance, presentation, registration and token exchange. Anonymous auth remains available for agents acting on their own behalf with no human in the loop. Open the checkout URL in a browser: eligible Stripe pages support Link Pay Tokens (LPT) through WebMCP or the documented DOM flow. Follow this storefront's /payment/card.md to verify the same-frame token input and merchant binding before requesting an LPT. Token submission requires payment authorization. If unavailable, privately send the checkout URL to your human to pay. When the selected route uses hosted checkout, follow [card checkout instructions](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/payment/card.md) before requesting a token. LPT goes only to Stripe, never to the advisor or ZeroClick API. Poll the returned statusUrl before using credit or retrying delivery. Verify delivery; a payment or HTTP 202 is not completion. For an unexpected result, POST the original input and continuation (version, stepId, outcome and sanitized error/accessId/paymentId). Reconcile uncertain payments or writes before retrying. Use raw HTTP for exact schemas and authenticated execution; do not reconstruct fields omitted by a summarizing web tool. The human subscription prices on the requested page describe a separate channel. Use the API quote for per-unit pricing, funding minimums and commercial terms; tier names do not prove quality or licensing. For an alternative documented path, use the [buyer SKILL](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/SKILL.md) or [full direct workflow reference](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/llms-full.txt). Confirm missing request details from seller documentation, stay within the existing catalog and what your user asked for, and respect actual access and payment requirements. ## References - [Buyer SKILL](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/SKILL.md): read as a skill when needed. - [Complete reference](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/llms-full.txt): advisor workflow and direct fallback. - [Catalog](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/manifest.json): services, plans and prices. - [OpenAPI](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/openapi.json): exact operation schemas. ## Guides - [Get World Cup 2026 fixtures and match context from Machina's API](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/quickstart.md): Machina Sports' World Cup 2026 API returns all 104 archived fixtures in one call and any match's context in the next, paid per call with no API key. - [Match recap API: get a World Cup 2026 match report from Machina](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/match-recaps.md): Machina's match recap API returns finished World Cup 2026 match copy with its generation date and a warning on which claims were not revalidated. - [Read Dixon-Coles World Cup 2026 forecasts and backtests with Machina](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/forecasts-and-backtests.md): Machina's API returns each archived World Cup 2026 Dixon-Coles forecast with its stored timestamp, and one call scores the 98 made before kickoff. - [Get a World Cup 2026 player's match performance by ID with Machina](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/player-performance-context.md): Look up a player's id with the squads call, then get their archived match figures, with FIFA's official values kept apart from Machina's estimates. - [Get World Cup 2026 standings, squads and injuries from Machina's API](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/standings-squads-injuries.md): Machina's archive returns the final World Cup 2026 group tables, both squads for a match and its injury report, each as one paid POST with no account. - [Map World Cup 2026 IDs across providers with Machina's resolve API](https://agents.machina.gg/zcj/ibypm0cxs2w4/guides/map-provider-ids.md): One POST to Machina's resolve API turns an API-Football id, a Sportradar id or a canonical URN into every provider id for that World Cup 2026 match or team.
