Team API

    Hi there

    I'm looking to build a football (soccer) app that will use real-world team & player names. How do i find out which leagues, teams & players the Team API (http://developer.espn.com/docs/teams) covers?

    Thanks!

    Hi Jon,

    We're looking into making basic athlete and team data more broadly available to all developers, which would allow you to query the API to get this information in automated fashion.

    In the meantime, the easiest way to see what teams, athletes, and leagues are supported is to take a look at Soccernet.com (http://soccernet.espn.go.com). Any team, athlete, or league you see covered on the site is also supported through the API.

    Best, Chris

    This seems to block any possibility of a generic implementation of the entire API. I'd like to create a wrapper around this module, but that would need the ability to "lookup" teams, etc. Do you know when this will become available?

    I have a related post here - http://developer.espn.com/forum/read/155242

    Erik,

    We should be rolling this out in the next couple of weeks. We'll make the announcement once it's live.

    Thx.

    Hey folks,

    Basic team information (ID, name, color, venue info) is now available across all access tiers.

    To get this information for every team within a given sports league, you'd make a query like this:

    GET api.espn.com/v1/sports/baseball/mlb/teams?apikey=yourkey&enable=venues

    What about player-team information? All I'm looking for is to either pull players and what teams they play for, or teams and their rosters. I would think that this is a very basic request yet I think I need to be a partner to make this query.

    Hey byee,

    You are correct, team roster information is not accessible to the general public at this time.

    We'll make the announcement if this changes in the future.

    Just curious if there has been any further development on allowing the general public access to team roster information. From the online documentation this seems possible, but when I run the actual query I can't seem to get the roster data. Thank you
