Does the API support getting league details by name, something kind of like this:
thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{APIKEY}/lookupleague.php?name=NBA

Or would you have to parse the league id?

How would you get the JSON details for the NBA, just given the name "NBA Basketball"?

Use the all leagues API method to lookup the name, then use the ID to get all the details is probably the best way to do it.

then

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/ ... hp?id=4346

Saying that, the league names don't really change so you could of course just keep a local list of these in your app.

Can I request a league name change. "American NFL" seems inconsistent with the rest of the naming of North American leagues. There is no other NFL in the list of leagues so you don't really need the "American" adjective. You don't have American NBA for example.

Agreed, Sure done.
