Hello developers,
More and more projects are being built on the API: tools I never imagined, sites that find an angle on padel nobody had covered and side projects that end up with a loyal audience. Most of them never get the visibility they deserve.
So I am starting Built with Padel API, a series of emails where I will share projects from the community that caught my eye. Maybe one of them sparks your next idea.
1. Padel Earnings
Padel Earnings ranks professional players by the prize money they win. You can follow who is earning the most this season, in both the men’s and women’s circuits, and who leads the career race across Premier Padel and FIP events. What I like is the focus. Instead of covering everything, it takes one metric that fans are curious about and builds a whole product around it. Proof that a single good question is enough to start a site.

2. Padel Nachos
Padel Nachos brings live scores, rankings, draws, highlights and news from Premier Padel and FIP into a single app. What stands out is how visual it is. Matches come with plenty of charts and graphics that help you read how a match is unfolding, not just who is winning it. All of it can be achieved with the live scores and match stats from the API.

3. Fantasy Padel Tour
This is where the Padel API was born. Fantasy Padel Tour was the first fantasy padel game: you build a team of pros and compete against your friends or other managers to win the league. Running the game needed reliable padel data, and that data ended up becoming the API you use today. This pick is an exception, since it is my own project, but I could not leave it out of the first edition.
