Is there an RAF wrestling API?

Yes. Cito serves Real American Freestyle data over REST at https://api.citoapi.com/api/v1/raf: events and cards, bout results with scores by period and takedowns, athletes, head-to-head, titles and the ruleset.

What RAF data is covered?

Every card since RAF 01 in August 2025: 17 events and 181 bouts, 202 athletes, and the champion of every title. Each finished bout has its final score, method, end period and clock where RAF or the event record publishes it.

Does the RAF API have live data?

Results, not a live clock. During a card the API polls every 90 seconds and each result lands as it is posted. RAF does not publish in-bout scoring data, so no API can offer a live point-by-point feed.

Is the RAF wrestling API free?

Yes, to start. A free key covers RAF events, cards, results, period scores, athletes, head-to-head and titles with 500 requests a month and 10 a minute, no card needed. Bout and athlete scoring stats are on Starter ($15 a month, RAF as your one game) and every plan above it.

Can I use the RAF API with Claude or Cursor?

Yes. The Cito MCP server includes combat_events, combat_card, combat_bout, combat_athlete, combat_h2h and combat_rankings; pass league raf and agents work from real bout and athlete IDs.

Is RAF data mixed into the UFC API?

No. RAF lives only on /raf routes. UFC fighters who also wrestle in RAF keep separate RAF and UFC records.

Is this an official RAF product?

No. Cito is an independent data API and is not affiliated with Real American Freestyle. Official athlete photos carry RAF's credit in the response.

Seamless Integration with our MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT the RAF card. One command writes the MCP config; agents call combat_card, combat_bout, and combat_athlete with league raf instead of guessing bout IDs, and your key stays on your machine.

Is there an official RAF API?

What is the first RAF endpoint to call?

Start with /raf/events/upcoming for the next card, open it with /raf/events/{slug}/bouts, and pull any finished bout with /raf/bouts/{boutId} for its score, method and periods.
