Teams, Players & Rosters
Head-to-head tables
NBA-only. One player's offensive head-to-head table per season
(leagueseasonmatchups): rows has one entry per defender he faced, the
provider columns (GP, MATCHUP_MIN, PARTIAL_POSS, PLAYER_PTS, MATCHUP_FGM …) and
defPlayerId. Filter by player (his offence) or defender (every table that
lists that defender — his defence). Fetched for the season's most-used players,
this season and the two before, by statsapi:season-matchups.
Requires the stats entitlement (a paid plan). See Responses & Errors for the success envelope and availability rules.

defenderstringCanonical player id found among a table's defenders.
limitintegerdefault:200Required range: 1 <= x, x <= 2000
provenancebooleandefault:falseOpt in to per-field provenance on supported single game, match, team, player, and venue reads. Lists and composites accept the flag but generally omit provenance. It is returned under _meta.provenance only when source metadata exists.
Response
application/jsonEvery stored row for the season that matches the filters.
Query validation failed. Depending on the handler, invalid_query_parameter is returned with HTTP 400 or 422. Pre-read validation is non-billable.
Missing or invalid bearer API token.
Access is forbidden: the token lacks api.read scope, the plan lacks an endpoint/bookmaker capability, or configured billing access is inactive. Inspect error.code and details.feature when present.
Hourly rate ceiling or monthly quota exceeded. The error code disambiguates
which limit was hit. X-RateLimit-* and X-Requests-*-Month response headers
carry the current state of both counters.
Token validation or an internal handler failed. Token-store failures use api_token_lookup_failed; unsupported internal sport dispatch can use data_layer_unavailable.
The data layer (Mongo / ClickHouse / Redis cache) is temporarily unreachable. The server attempted the lookup; it failed. Retry with backoff. Per the spec's order of evaluation, this DOES consume monthly quota — the request reached step 6.
The configured billing provider could not verify API access. The request is refused before the data handler and does not consume monthly quota.
