How do I obtain a SportsDataIO (FantasyData) API Key?

You can sign up for a free trial or a paid plan at [**sportsdata.io**](https://sportsdata.io/developers). Once registered, you can find your API key in the developer portal dashboard.

Does this support live scores during games?

Yes! The `get_scores` tools for NFL, NBA, and MLB retrieve the most recent game data available for the specified date, including live updates if supported by your API plan.

Can I search for players in multiple sports?

Absolutely. This integration provides dedicated tools for NFL, NBA, and MLB player directories, allowing you to query rosters across all three major sports.
