garythekid Posts: 4 Joined: Nov 2019 | Hey guys, I'm glad I stumbled upon this API as i've been trying to find something for rugby for a looooong time! However, I'm having a little trouble understanding the documentation and identifying the correct API calls... Just to go through it, if I wanted to get the fixtures for the current season my workflow would be: 1. List all leagues in a country: using the sport string as a parameter but removing the country parameter from the url. (A little odd!). Gives you an array of tournaments from the sport including the league ID. 2. List all Seasons in a League: Using the ID, list all seasons in the tournament.. On a side note: How does one identify which season is the current/upcoming season? The last one in the array? 3. All events in specific league by season: Using the ID and the (correct?) strSeason you can then use this endpoint to get all of the fixtures from the season. Is this the most effective way of receiving this data? Anything I may be missing? Thanks for reading, garythekid. | ||

Try this: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/eventsseason.php?id=4574&s=2019 EDIT: You are correct in that the latest season is the current one. It will be either "1920" or "2019" depending on if the league spans 1 or 2 years. | ||

Hey funny you should ask, I've been importing Rugby data today and it was the only league missing data Its now all populated with 10 years of archived results and the new 2020 season! https://www.thesportsdb.com/league/4551 Don't forget anyone can edit data on the site so it might be a good idea to get familiar with the edit functions. I think a few teams need moving around in that league. Just edit the team to choose a new league. | ||

garythekid Posts: 4 Joined: Nov 2019 | Left til last.. so disappointing... Aha great, good timing then! I spotted a couple of other threads talking about time zones, however there didn't really seem to be a consensus. Will there be any chance of an ISO 8601 time/date format or the Date's toJson format as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/15952652? Although perhaps I should stick this question in another thread..? | ||

At the moment all dates should be in UTC as well as times. The additional local time and date works (most of the time especially in Europe) but for leagues like this that are all over the place geographically then its probably not going to be reliable. Anyone can edit an individual event though if they know the local times. I don't mind batch importing data but the users of the site are still needed for things like this. If you add strDate + strTime together you can probably re-create the ISO 8601 format. | ||
