| | Hi all,
my suggestion is to add new API call like thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{APIKEY}/searchshortteams.php?t={ShortTeamName} to search i.e. Tampa Bay Lightning by TBL term.
Also it will be cool to search by alternative names too

| | Great idea!
Nice and easy too:
thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{APIKEY}/searchteams.php?sname={TeamShortCode}
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/ ... ?sname=TBL

| | Alternative names should already be included in main search I think

Hmm, I didn't know that, cool. Indeed it's working even when alternative name is not single

| | Hi, Seems like short name is not always visible in gui to let it set or edit https://www.thesportsdb.com/edit_team.php?t=135272

| | Yep I will add this, I have to be careful though as some of the automated API's rely on the short name being something specific.

Yeah, but some short names looks wrong. See my file with stats https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
So i.e. Los Angeles Dodgers an't be found https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/ ... ?sname=LAD
I've posted my thought here
