Booking events via API

With the help of several endpoints in the API, the user is able to find a match, book or unbook it and check the currently booked matches for a selected period of time.

Selection of the event: events.index

To check the Scoutsfeed match offer, please use endpoint events.index with your unique token:

https://api.statscore.com/v2/events?scoutsfeed=yes&events_details=no&competitions_details=yes&token=YOUR_TOKEN

Basic use of this method will return all matches offered in the STATSCORE API covered in ScoutsFeed. To filter the results you can use some additional parameters in the request:

• date_from - Selection datetime, format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'. Date from which events should be returned. If you use a single date_from parameter you will receive all events that start in the 24 hours from the requested date

• date_to - Selection datetime, format 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'. End date of returned events. The maximum period beetwen date_from and date_to parameter is 30 days. This rule is not valid when you use the following query parameter in your request: season_id, stage_id, group_id, participant_id

• coverage_type - Determines coverage type. Possible values:

  • from_venue - means the scout is relaying the event directly from the stadium (max. latency 1 second)

  • from_tv - means the scout is relaying the event from low latency TV transmission (max. latency 6 seconds)

• sport_id - Determines the sport identifier in which the events are played. Possibility to input multiple identifiers, separated by a comma. The complete list of possible sports can be retrieved using the API resource: sports.index

• competition_id - Determines the competition identifier in which the events are played. Possibility to input multiple identifiers, separated by a comma. The complete list of possible competitions can be retrieved using the API resource: competitions.index

• season_id - Determines the season identifier in which the events are played. Possibility to input multiple identifiers, separated by a comma. The complete list of possible seasons can be retrieved using the API resource: seasons.index

• timestamp - Selection date, format UNIX_TIMESTAMP. Only changes in events that occurred or were updated after this timestamp will be returned.

Below is an example query that allows you to check offered matches for a specific time period with coverage type = from venue:

https://api.statscore.com/v2/events?token=YOUR_TOKEN&date_from=2020-12-15 00:00:00&date_to=2020-12-31 00:00:00&coverage_type=from_venue&scoutsfeed=yes
