Match Results for snooker.org API
Match Results for snooker.org API fetches snooker match data from the Snooker.org API and caches it to improve performance.
This plugin does not connect to the external API until the user explicitly provides their Header Value (X-Requested-By), which is obtained by contacting the Snooker.org webmaster.
It displays previous, current, and upcoming matches using tabs with AJAX loading for a smooth user experience.
The plugin reduces API calls and speeds up your site by caching data temporarily.
Privacy
This plugin connects to the external API at Snooker.org only after the user provides the required Header Value (X-Requested-By). No personal data is collected, stored, or sent by this plugin.
Features
- Fetch match data from Snooker.org API.

- Easy-to-use shortcode:

Notes
- Cached data expires every 10 minutes for recent matches and every week for long-term data.
