An open API for the World Cup

On Brazil's data says: "homeStadium": "Estádio Cícero Pompeu de Toledo (Morumbi)"

The Morumbi Stadium belongs to a private team, São Paulo Futebol Clube. I don't think we have something we can call "home stadium" at all.

Perhaps the Maracana Stadium would be better to fill that.

But I find strange that any national team have a "home stadium" since they usually play their matches on several stadiums across their contries.

It could be my network, but on chrome console errors:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://859-events.olark.com/nrpc/c?c=create&u=http%3A%2F%2Fw.... No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.kimonolabs.com' is therefore not allowed access.

Hmm, are you having issues with the API itself? Olark isn't related to the API (it's the customer support widget in the bottom right). If the API is also not working, it's possible there's a separate unrelated issue.

You can also try hitting the API directly rather than through the explorer and see if that gives you the correct result. If you are still having problems feel free to shoot us an email at support@kimonolabs.com!

it's being filtered by my company's no fun firewall. Thanks for the reply.

Love this. Also drove me to explore your site, which is what you probably wanted. $400/month for private APIs seems pricey to me, but i am thinking of only personal uses. This reminds me of import.io if it exported API results.

Dammit, wish I found this before I manually created my database for http://wcfixtures.co.uk!

Is this legal to use for commercial purposes? If I create an app and put it on the app store for sale, is it allowed?

Feel free to build apps on top of the API - we'd love to see you build something cool with it.

Just what I've been looking for! Appears to be down now though?

There goes my weekend.
