Thanks man!
Here is an updated list of play_type_ids I have found so far in preseason and verified.
(Some of the abbreviations are not verified as some of them do not carry abbreviations so I use my own. Also, espn uses the full word "abbreviation" not "abv")

But the numbers on the indexes as the play_type_id are verified for these:

"PLAY_TYPE_IDS" => [ 2 => ["text" => "End Period", "abv" => "EP"], 3 => ["text" => "Pass Incompletion", "abv" => "Pass Inc"], 5 => ["text" => "Rush", "abv" => "RUSH"], 7 => ["text" => "Sack", "abv" => "SACK"], 8 => ["text" => "Penalty", "abv" => "PEN"], 9 => ["text" => "Fumble Recovery (Own)", "abv" => "Fumble Rec (Own)"], 12 => ["text" => "Kickoff Return (Offense)", "abv" => "KOR"], 16 => ["text" => "Two Point Rush", "abv" => "Two Point Rush"], 21 => ["text" => "Timeout", "abv" => "TO"], 24 => ["text" => "Pass Reception", "abv" => "REC"], 26 => ["text" => "Pass Interception Return", "abv" => "INTR"], 29 => ["text" => "Fumble Recovery (Opponent)", "abv" => "Fumble Rec (Opp)"], 36 => ["text" => "Interception Return Touchdown", "abv" => "TD"], 40 => ["text" => "Missed Field Goal Return", "abv" => "AFG"], 52 => ["text" => "Punt", "abv" => "PUNT"], 53 => ["text" => "Kickoff", "abv" => "K"], 59 => ["text" => "Field Goal Good", "abv" => "FG"], 60 => ["text" => "Field Goal Missed", "abv" => "FG Miss"], 61 => ["text" => "Extra Point Good", "abv" => "Extra Point Good", "value" => 1], 65 => ["text" => "End of Half", "abv" => "EH"], 66 => ["text" => "End of Game", "abv" => "EG"], 67 => ["text" => "Passing Touchdown", "abv" => "TD"], 68 => ["text" => "Rushing Touchdown", "abv" => "TD"], 70 => ["text" => "Coin Toss", "abv" => "CT"], 74 => ["text" => "Official Timeout", "abv" => "Off TO"], 75 => ["text" => "Two-minute warning", "abv" => "2Min Warn"] ],

Does ESPN use a different API call for their schedule (eg https://www.espn.com/college-football/schedule) page vs scoreboard (eg https://www.espn.com/college-football/scoreboard) page? What the heck is the difference in those pages anyways ?

What I really want is all college football games by week. When I enter the week, I only get top 25 (ie http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?week=4) but if I enter exact date I get all the games (ie http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?dates=20240907)

try adding:

&groups=80

to the end of your path.
80 is the "group" or "conference" designation for "FBS", or all the FBS games.

Here's a list of all the "group" or "conference" IDs:
Default = Top 25
80 = FBS (I-A)
81 = FCS (I-AA)
1 = ACC
4 = Big 12
5 = Big Ten
8 = SEC
9 = Pac 12
12 = CUSA
15 = MAC
17 = Mountain West
18 = FBS Indep
20 = Big Sky
21 = MVFC
22 = Ivy
24 = MEAC
25 = NEC
27 = Patriot
28 = Pioneer
29 = Southern
30 = Southland
31 = SWAC
32 = FCS Indep.
35 = DIV II/III
37 = Sun Belt
48 = CAA
151 = American
177 = UAC
179 = BIg South-0VC

So this path for example:
https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?week=2&groups=80
returns all the FBS games for week 2

and this path:
https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/scoreboard?week=2&groups=5
returns all the Big Ten games for week 2

Anyone else know where to find a comprehensive list of these from the ESPN play-by-play or drive end-points?

Does anyone know if this endpoint updates live during the games if an injury occurs?

https://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/nfl/teams/14/roster

Or if there is an endpoint that does indeed update live during the game upon injury?

I noticed for Cooper Kupp on Sunday evening on the roster end point above, his injuries object did have him as Doubtful and did have a time that was around 5:46pm so that would represent a mid-game date/time update. But I was not watching the feed as the game happened and was curious if that is the date/time assigned to the update and possibly put there at a later time, or if that is the actual date/time assigned to the update as it appeared in the endpoint's data feed. So at 5:46pm and after, calling the endpoint above would indeed list Kupp as Doubtful from that point on.

Because if you call that end point now, it will give the date and time associated with McVay's presser when he gave the update about him, so it does not archive the "initial time of injury" in a super user-friendly way to recall later.

What I am trying to accomplish is to assign the most accurate game-clock times to injuries and just looking for the most direct path to get there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a scoreboard feed for each game mapping the game-clocks to wall-clock times, so I think if I can just get a wall clock time for each injury occurence I can get there.

This is awesome, and very similar to what I am already doing for the play-by-play data to get the injury game clock.
However, for the Cooper Kupp example, he came out of the half and was then deemed Doubtful, so in the play-by-play data of the Rams game Cooper Kupp has no text that describes him being injured.

So his player ID end-point, and the team injuries end-point does describe it via a news release during the game, but then the next morning when the update occurs that time/date is replaced with the monday morning time date of the news release, so if my system "misses" the time of the game the injury status changes, I am looking for a way to retro-actively put it back in place if that makes sense?

Does that make sense? And the team updates and player updates news feed is a little wonky as it has some info from years ago and some info from theprevious game all in one place type thing, so it's seemingly less reliable to predict how to parse through it and find the infomration I would need.

I was just hoping there would be an endpoint that litearlly documents the changes in the injury status of a player with time/date info attached.

At first I thought only minor injuries are reported in play by plays - (minor as in: they're back in the field before the game ends). But after poking around, I came across injuries more serious than Kupp's that were reported in the play by play text. So why wasn't Kupps??!! And how often does this happen?!!!

Maybe injuries recorded in plays are influenced by a team's coach?!

  • The Rams have had a rough run of injuries through the first two weeks, putting three key players on injured reserve this week. McVay said postgame he wasn't sure about the extent of Kupp's injury.
    Source

  • It was only a matter of time, as the conversation surrounding Kupp has been more about injured reserve than his Week 3 availability. The Rams can only bring eight players back from IR all season and have six or seven return candidates on the list already, so they may keep Kupp on the active roster even if he's expected to miss four or more games. The team hasn't specifically commented on that aspect, but coach Sean McVay did say Monday that Kupp is likely out for an "extended period of time."
    Source

Anyways - I think I get what you're trying to do. Have you tried using the search query endpoint for getting the news?

also, not sure if there's any good way to figure out which toggles exist for each route (i.e. the ?enable=...), or if that's mostly just a guessing game.

@nntrn - Thanks so much! This is pretty slick! However, what I need is the Date/Time of the accouncements, not just the Date. Like if the Date was 2024-09-15 17:53:21 UTC type thing.

There is now way to reverse engineer from this data the game-clock time and period number of the announcment. But I appreciate your attempts and love what you did!

Good morning. Any idea why this link wouldn't display the post season? It is an eventlog for each player, only makes sense it would display post as well. https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/basketball/leagues/wnba/seasons/2024/athletes/4066533/eventlog?limit=100

For fans of OpenAPI/Swagger, I started working on a document here. I would appreciate any contributions - the current format is a bit hard for me to work with.

Does anyone know why the request for all active player ids [https://sports.core.api.espn.com/v3/sports/football/nfl/athletes?limit=20000&active=true] is returning players with the value active = false as well? I could sort manually on my end, but if the api request worked correctly it would cut down on load time drastically (returning 18738 player -> returning about 1700 players).

I am not sure about your referenced end-point, but what I do is a two part call. One to the current rosters, then parse that by player_id/id and then only ask for the rostered players. Not sure it's what you want, but it is a lot better than getting all the athlete ids!

@RyanGiles : To actually show what I do a little more usefully, I call this end-point:

site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/nfl/teams/{{teamId}}?enable=roster

Inside a loop that pools the fetches and lets them run asynchroniously so I can loop through the teamIds, and then I just pull the players from the actual rosters after I have that, if that makes sense.

I see how that workaround can work for getting all rostered players. I'll try that out and see how the runtime compares. It would still be great to just have it return active players like how it's supposed to.

After doing some testing, it's significantly faster (3 sec vs 12 sec) to do the single api call for all players and then filter through them manually than it is to make 32 different api calls for each team's roster

I know the ESPN and Sleeper API calls for all the players waists a huge amount of loading time. Sleeper's has over 10,000 players when we only need 10-15 percent that. And ESPN's has maybe more than that I can't remember.

I know in my application, calling the all athletes and parsing it after the fact was way way slower. I use PHP to load my API so maybe if you are using python or R or something it may be faster than PHP, I don't really know. I just now when I did the way I describe above I removed all my timeout errors that I was having on my app.

I will add though that I use laravel's Http::pool() methods which allow us to make 32 team calls all at once and call them asynchroniously, which really solved my issues too!

is there any endpoint that will let me pull or compile defense tendencies data? for instance man% zone% etc

Not from ESPN that I know of. You may want to check the roto sites, and maybe PFF. I think you are most likely looking at a scraping solution over an API solution based on the stuff I've found in general. And of course you can always roll with sportsdata.io, but it's exepensive.

Is there a way to reach power rankings or football power indexes (fpi) through an api on ESPN?
