Teams, Players & Rosters

Team roster

Universal across baseball, basketball, soccer, football, and hockey. Returns the sport-specific player records currently attached to the team (currentTeamId), as filled by the roster ingestion (24h cadence) and, for soccer, the squad-membership reconciler. NFL rows carry the football position cluster (QB/RB/WR/...), depth-chart slot, and draft metadata; NHL rows carry the hockey position cluster (C/LW/RW/D/G), shoots/catches handedness, and contract bits.

active defaults to true; set active=false to include retired or released players still tagged with the team. Reads are soft — a team whose roster has not been ingested yet returns an empty array rather than 404.

Soccer responses also carry _meta.availability saying whether an empty roster is expected: status is available (players returned), not_available (the team's squad page was fetched and lists nobody, and no recent cup lineup names its players, typically an amateur club that only appears in a domestic cup) or unknown (empty with nothing saying that is expected: no squad page fetched yet, a failed or partial fetch, or a squad page or cup lineup that lists players), with a reason and, when a squad page was checked, checked_at.

Requires the stats entitlement (a paid plan). See Responses & Errors for the success envelope and availability rules.

Authorizations

Authorizationstringheaderrequired

Send a workspace API token in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header.

Path Parameters

leagueenum<string>default:wkblrequired

League for this reference section: wkbl.

Available options: wkbl

idstringrequired

Query Parameters

activebooleandefault:true

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.

seasonstring

Basketball only: season start year or label such as 2025-26. Historical roster uses that season; omitted selects current roster.

Response

application/json

Array of sport-specific player records.

dataobject[] | nullrequired

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.

data.full_namestring

data.family_namestring

data.known_asstring

data.jersey_numberstring

data.positionstring

data.date_of_birthstring

data.headshot_asset_keystring

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.activebooleanrequired

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.

English name entry, when available.

data.localized_names.en.option 1object

data.localized_names.en.languagestring | null
