Can someone please tell me how to get player stats of all time? Also, do I need an API token or something to use this. I'm really confused, and would really appreciate some help

@mrmikeytj
Copy link

Is there an endpoint to get related players for each play?

In the play by play link (https://cdn.espn.com/core/nfl/playbyplay?xhr=1&gameId=401437654), you can find all the plays for each drive.
Although, in each play, it doesn't really say which players were involved. A few years ago there was another section for each player involved.
This was in the nfl gameday json site that disappeared.

One of the first plays of the linked game above, has this:
{ "sequenceNumber": "5600", "period": { "number": 1 }, "homeScore": 0, "start": { "shortDownDistanceText": "1st & 10", "possessionText": "BUF 25", "downDistanceText": "1st & 10 at BUF 25", "distance": 10, "yardLine": 75, "team": { "id": "2" }, "down": 1, "yardsToEndzone": 75 }, "scoringPlay": false, "clock": { "displayValue": "15:00" }, "type": { "id": "24", "text": "Pass Reception", "abbreviation": "REC" }, "priority": false, "statYardage": 6, "awayScore": 0, "wallclock": "2022-09-09T00:24:04Z", "modified": "2022-09-14T21:05Z", "end": { "shortDownDistanceText": "2nd & 10", "possessionText": "BUF 31", "downDistanceText": "2nd & 10 at BUF 31", "distance": 10, "yardLine": 69, "team": { "id": "2" }, "down": 2, "yardsToEndzone": 69 }, "id": "40143765456", "text": "(15:00) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass short right to S.Diggs to BUF 31 for 6 yards (J.Ramsey)." },

Although, besides the last property (text), it doesn't say who threw the pass, who caught it, where it was caught, how many yards after catch, who tackled, who assisted the tackle, etc. I was hoping it had the player id, stat type id, yardage/stat, etc.

I have noticed the play id (40143765456)
Does this link into another end point somewhere?

@mrmikeytj
Copy link

Cloests thing I've been able to find is this: http://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/events/401437654/competitions/401437654/plays/40143765456?lang=en&region=us

It includes the stat type, and stat yardage:
"id": "40143765456", "sequenceNumber": "5600", "type": { "id": "24", "text": "Pass Reception", "abbreviation": "REC" },
... then a little farther down ...
"statYardage": 6

It also has a participants property.
It doesn't have a referenced player id as I had hoped, though it does have a player reference link:
It is confusing how it includes the athelete's game stat totals within the participants, instead of the totals for this specific play.
{ "athlete": { "$ref": "http://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/seasons/2022/athletes/2976212?lang=en&region=us" }, "position": { "$ref": "http://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/positions/1?lang=en&region=us" }, "statistics": { "$ref": "http://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/events/401437654/competitions/401437654/competitors/2/roster/2976212/statistics/0?lang=en&region=us" }, "stats": [ { "name": "receptions", "displayName": "Receptions", "shortDisplayName": "Receptions", "description": "The total number of receptions.", "abbreviation": "REC", "value": 8, "displayValue": "8" }, { "name": "receivingYards", "displayName": "Receiving Yards", "shortDisplayName": "Rec. Yards", "description": "The total receiving yards.", "abbreviation": "YDS", "value": 122, "displayValue": "122" }, { "name": "receivingTouchdowns", "displayName": "Receiving Touchdowns", "shortDisplayName": "Receiving Touchdowns", "description": "The total number of receiving touchdowns.", "abbreviation": "TD", "value": 1, "displayValue": "1" } ], "order": 2, "type": "receiver" },

The player reference link has the player details:
"id": "2976212", "uid": "s:20~l:28~a:2976212", "guid": "d6ba7023-458c-f59a-4af2-638770067518", "type": "football", "alternateIds": { "sdr": "2976212" }, "firstName": "Stefon", "lastName": "Diggs",

@mrmikeytj
Copy link

So I'm left with these questions:

Why is the result of this play (6 yard pass reception) say this:
"downDistanceText": "2nd & 10 at BUF 31"

Anywhere I can find stat types like air yards? To know how far the ball traveled on an incomplete or completed pass?
Anywhere I can find stat types for offensive and defensive linemen? missed tackles? yards after catch?

Is there any way to get the season leaders for a team without fetching one of their games? I know there is a link listed, but it takes an extra api call for each player to get the data. Is there a more concise call? Thank you for all of this information by the way!

@nntrn - Anybody get results for the Rankings Endpoint? https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/seasons/2023/types/2/weeks/6/rankings

Anyone? Has anyone found a way to get rankings besides the efficiency ranks? Eff Rank and standard off/def rank seem to be different.

@nntrn Does anyone know how to get the season leaders for TEAM stats? for example stats from here https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/_/view/team

Is there something similar to this endpoint: https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/seasons/2023/types/2/leaders

This might be a noob question, I'm fairly new to programming, but I'm trying to setup a search function to pull player profile information (i.e name, headshot, age, number, team), the only issue being that for the search to work as I've set it up I can't just search "Ryan Tannehill" and get that information, I need to search using their player id, which isn't intuitive for users.

https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/nfl/athletes/14876

Is it a situation where I'm better of having a local file that has all the key: value pairings e.g. { "Ryan Tannehill" : 14876 } or is there a better way to do this?

@lewishardie Hey Lewis, were you able to solve? I'm wondering the same.

you can run this script to build a local roster
https://github.com/nntrn/espn-wiki/blob/main/scripts/roster.sh

$ curl -O https://github.com/nntrn/espn-wiki/blob/main/scripts/roster.sh
$ chmod a+x roster.sh
$ ./roster.sh /tmp/nfl-roster

Results:

[
  {
    "id": "4259305",
    "team": "GB",
    "position": "WR",
    "fullName": "Bo Melton"
  },
  {
    "id": "4685016",
    "team": "GB",
    "position": "RB",
    "fullName": "Ellis Merriweather"
  }
  ...
]

alternatively, I just used @nntrn 's script to build a python function to reverse lookup the player id by their name. You can find the documentation here: https://github.com/mattabets/espn_api_player_id_reverse_lookup/blob/main/README.md

There's another endpoint for the pickem challenges that I've used
https://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v1/challenges/'+game_type+'-'+year+'/members/
In 2023, it didn't require auth.

In 2024, it has changed to the below and now requires auth
https://gambit-api.fantasy.espn.com/apis/v1/challenges/'+game_type+'-'+year+'/members/

Does anyone know of a way to tell if a user has submitted their picks for the week in the pickem challenges?

You used to be able to click on their name and it'd tell you if they have submitted their picks or not but I believe during the site redesign a few years ago, espn removed that feature.

Has anyone figured out how to get College Football weeks? https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/seasons gives all seasons from 1872 to 2024 which I only need a single season. I tried adding ?season=2024, ?year=2024 with no luck. You can do https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/seasons/2024 to get the 2024 season, but it doesn't give the weeks, even doing ?seasonType=2 doesn't.

@newadventure079

Using the first url, after you get the data, you should be able to reference what you want to get by doing something like
const season2024 = data.seasons.find(season => season.year === 2024);

@newadventure079 yea that is true I could do that... But I was trying to avoid having to get a massive payload (I guess not that massive as it's 8.3 kB). I do find it interesting that /seasons will give the breakdown of the weeks, but /seasons/2024 won't

@newadventure079

The API is a big black box lol

@JamesSingleton

@newadventure079 yea... I am building a College Football Top 25 voting system for my website and I don't want to have to hardcode the weeks into my API routes, so that is why I was looking at using the API endpoint. I also noticed for ESPN, they classify Week 1 as 8/24-9/3 but that includes Week 0 and Week 1, I found that interesting.
