Ten scrapers you don't have to write.
We run the collection pipeline — ten sources, nightly, geocoded, deduplicated, expired on schedule — and serve the result as one API. Everywhere to play and everything happening, without a scraper of your own to maintain.
Queried live from the production database on every page load — not a snapshot that goes stale.
What you are actually buying
The records are the visible part. The part that costs you money is keeping them true: source sites redesign without warning, republish the same event under a new URL, and never tell you when a listing dies. That is the work this removes.
Build it yourself
- ✗ Reverse-engineer ten sources, two behind logins and one behind a CAPTCHA
- ✗ Geocode every address and cache it, or pay per lookup forever
- ✗ Detect the same tournament republished under a new URL
- ✗ Expire finished and cancelled events so you stop showing them
- ✗ Repair scrapers each time a source site is redesigned
- ✗ Run and monitor all of it, nightly, indefinitely
Plug into ours
- ✓ One authenticated endpoint, one integration
- ✓ Coordinates already resolved on every record
- ✓ Content-matched deduplication, with human review of edge cases
- ✓ Finished listings leave the live set automatically
- ✓ Source breakage is our problem, repaired inside 5 business days
- ✓ Nightly, whether or not you think about it
Eight datasets in three families
| Dataset | Fields beyond name & location |
|---|---|
| Places to play | |
| Courts & venues | Indoor/outdoor court counts, lights/surface/amenity flags, access type, venue photo, contact email & phone |
| Clubs | Member count, club email, contact name, directors and organizers as structured JSON |
| What is happening | |
| Tournaments | Start/end dates, registration window, live registration status, entry cost, organizer URL, event logo, status, currency, field size, source |
| Leagues | Season start & end, cost, listing URL, days since posted |
| Events | Date, registration window, cost, listing URL |
| People | |
| Instructors static | Profile URL, contact email & phone where published, bio text — a one-time professional registry import, not part of the nightly scrape |
| Ambassadors static | USA Pickleball ambassador directory, one contact link per territory — a snapshot, not a nightly refresh (the source platform migrated in August 2026 and the automated refresh is being rebuilt) |
| Tournament directors & club managers rider required | Email-deduplicated contacts for the people who run the events and clubs your product surfaces. US records only, included in the People plan under a signed acceptable-use rider (permission-based outreach only, no resale or list transfer) |
National in the US, real depth abroad
All 50 states plus DC. Venue coverage reaches every US state and the District of Columbia. The court network — every venue geocoded, linked back to its source listing — is the largest single asset in the data.
45 countries with live tournaments. Beyond the US: Canada, Australia, the UK, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand carry the most events. Every record states where it came from — PickleballTournaments, PPA Tour, APP Tour, UTR Sports, Swish, PickleballDen, USA Pickleball, Pickleheads, Places2Play and DUPR, plus direct submissions from users on the site — so you can filter by provenance.
How it stays current
Nightly scrape
All ten sources run at midnight daily, each with automatic retry and resume. A steady night processes 26,000+ source records without a miss.
Geocode
Addresses resolve through Google Maps against a large persistent cache, so coordinates stay consistent across runs rather than drifting.
Deduplicate
Source sites re-publish events under new URLs. Matching on date, city and name catches those; suspected duplicates are held for human review, never silently merged.
Expire
Finished and cancelled listings leave the live set automatically the day after they end, so you are never serving a stale event.
Community-added
Tournament organizers, league operators, venues and instructors can add themselves directly through the site. Every submission is reviewed by a human before it goes live.
A read-only JSON API over HTTPS
Bearer-token authentication, cursor pagination, and an
updated_since parameter on every collection so you can
sync incrementally instead of re-pulling the world.
GET /v1/tournaments | Filter by bounding box, radius from a point, date range, cost, source |
GET /v1/tournaments/{id} | Single listing with full detail |
GET /v1/leagues | Same filters, season-based dates |
GET /v1/events | Same filters, single-day events |
GET /v1/courts | Filter by bounding box, radius, state, indoor/outdoor, minimum court count, access type |
GET /v1/courts/{id} | Single venue with court configuration and contact fields |
GET /v1/clubs | Clubs with member counts and organizer structure |
GET /v1/instructors | Coaches and pros by location |

}What counts, what it costs, what happens when it breaks
| An API call | One HTTP request, whatever it returns. Pagination is the exception — each page is its own call, so pull a larger page size per request if volume matters to you. |
| Going over | Nothing is cut off. You keep serving, we invoice the overage at $6 per additional 1,000 calls. No silent throttling, no surprise suspension. |
| Rate limit | 10 requests per second sustained, 50 in a burst. Above that you get HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header rather than a dropped connection. |
| Caching | Expected, not merely tolerated — mirror it in your database and serve your users from your own copy. Refresh at least every 7 days. |
| Record identity | Integer ids are stable for the life of a record and never reused, so historical rows stay joinable even after a listing leaves the live set. |
| If you cancel | Three paid months in, a final full export in CSV or Parquet, yours to keep, at no charge. Cancel earlier and you keep what you already cached under the normal refresh policy. |
| When a source breaks | Every run is monitored and each source reports its own record count, so a silent failure is caught the same night rather than weeks later. Repaired inside 5 business days. |
| Reporting bad data | Email the record id. Corrections that are ours to make — geocoding, deduplication, expiry — are fixed within 2 business days. |
Terms, in plain language
| License | Non-exclusive, annual or monthly, terminable at 30 days. You license use of the data; PickleballMaps retains ownership of the compilation. |
| Attribution | One credit per surface, not per record: "Data by PickleballMaps" with a link, somewhere on any screen built on the data. Waived entirely on the Partner plan. |
| Redistribution | Courts, Competitions, People and Full map cover use inside your own product, including showing records to your users. You need Partner if your customers can reach the underlying records directly. |
| Availability | Target 99.5% monthly uptime, measured on the API rather than the scrapers. Freshness is guaranteed to one nightly cycle. Partner plans carry a written SLA with service credits. |
| People & Full map contacts | Tournament director and club manager email/phone fields are outreach contact info, not marketing data — both plans require a signed acceptable-use rider (permission-based outreach only, no resale or list transfer, opt-outs honored within 5 business days). |
Annual commitment takes 15% off any plan. A one-off historical extract of the full archive, delivered as CSV or Parquet without an ongoing subscription, is $1,500.
