# Tools

Our API is simple and straightforward even for a human.

For read JSON you can use a simple browser, compone your URL and go to the page.\
If you use Google Chrome we suggest [an extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/json-viewer/gbmdgpbipfallnflgajpaliibnhdgobh) that format JSON result.

To use API in more complex mode,  as well as obviously write a code in the language you prefer, you can use a API software like Postman (<https://www.postman.com/>) or Swagger  (<https://swagger.io/>)

If you using Postman we have develop the collection file:

* Postman collection for **direct mode API**  [**`RUN`**](https://app.getpostman.com/run-collection/3ffbdb1dd9f7fcc059a0)    [**`DOWNLOAD`**](https://www.getpostman.com/collections/52464763-458e1e54-837c-4524-85d7-e26e0505c1cb)               <br>
* Postman collection for **rapid API mode**   [**`RUN`**](https://app.getpostman.com/run-collection/e96d50bada5f1de05608)    [**`DOWNLOAD`**](https://www.getpostman.com/collections/52464763-25d2e128-c842-49f1-b449-a860e0462a0f)

We have also[ BRUNO](https://www.usebruno.com/) collection:

* [Bruno RapidAPI mode](https://static.soccerfootball.info/schema/BRUNO-SoccerFootball-info-RAPIDAPI.json)

If you need to read the CSV format you can use some office software like MS Excel, Libreoffice, OpenOffice or Google spreadsheets.

Our CSV is all in UTF8 linux format, that is compatible with double click open without needed import.&#x20;

If you need simple the OpenAPI v3 Manifest:
