I developed a Live Cricket Score App using Next.js and the Cricbuzz API via RapidAPI. It delivers real-time updates, including live matches, results, upcoming fixtures, and cricket articles, with a clean, responsive UI. A scorecard section is also implemented to show detailed match score information.
I built this Live Cricket app from scratch using Next.js to practice my skills and test if I could develop a project independently. It provides real-time scores, match results, upcoming fixtures, and detailed scorecards, while optimizing API usage. ChatGPT and my own learning guided me throughout this journey.
Challenge:I wasn’t sure how to use the Cricbuzz API or which source to get it from. Searching on ChatGPT gave me many options, which made it confusing to decide the best approach.
Solution:After checking and comparing multiple options suggested by ChatGPT, I chose the Cricbuzz API via RapidAPI. I applied for access and planned the project to optimize API usage, allowing me to implement live scores, match results, and fixtures efficiently.
