provenancebooleandefault:false

Opt 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/json

Player document with materialized headshot_url.

dataobjectrequired
data.idstring
data.canonical_idstring
data.external_idsobject

Map from the exact stored source/namespace key to that provider's identifier for this entity. Keys vary by entity and league. Values are strings, even when the provider ID looks numeric. Use the exact key and value for external-ID lookups; these are distinct from the canonical ID. SOURCE_KEY below is an illustrative placeholder.

data.external_ids.{key}string
data.created_atstring<date-time>

Canonical document creation timestamp, when present; not the scheduled start or event time.

data.updated_atstring<date-time>

Canonical document update timestamp, when present. It is not a guarantee that every field was refreshed at this time; field provenance carries individual ingestion times.

Stored asset key, when available. Prefer the materialized URL field for display instead of constructing a storage URL.

data.official_headshot_urlstring
data.current_team_idstring
data.activeboolean
data.localized_namesobject

Names keyed by BCP-47 language tag, not a single translated string. Each value contains optional camelCase name fields (displayName, fullName, name, shortName, givenName, familyName), language, romanized, and nameSource; older records may use a plain string. Only populated languages appear. Common keys are en, ko, and ja; other supported keys include es, de, fr, pt, it, nl, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant. For display, try displayName → fullName → name → shortName → the entity's base name. This map can be absent or empty. See localized names.
