Questions

Does the NHL web API need an API key?

No. The sample request on this page was answered without a key, token or account. Note: Undocumented by the league; the linked reference is maintained by the community.

Can I call the NHL web API from the browser?

Not directly. api-web.nhle.com did not send an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to our verifier on Oct 3, 2026, so browsers block the response. Call it from a server or a serverless function.

Is the NHL web API working?

At the check on Oct 3, 2026 it returned HTTP 200 with the expected data in 498 ms. The status at the top of this page shows the most recent result we have.
