Include Flag in API for leagues/teams

Hi Zag,

I was wondering if it’d be an option to pass through the country flags you use on the front end of thesportsdb through the api.

I’m thinking of adding something similar to mark out the countries that a particular league/player is from but I can’t be bothered to compile all the flags 😂

You should be able to work out the flag URL from the country name I think. They should match the country from the API.

EG:

Just add a hyphen if the country has a space

Oops, sorry to be a pain but it looks like the strCountry is always null from the eventsday api.

Is this an easy fix?

Can you post an example? If its NULL then maybe the data does not exist?

            "strPostponed": "yes",

            "strLocked": "unlocked"

        }


Note that strCountry is "null" when this should be England. Seems to be the case for every event currently

Ahh OK yes this is actually a problem with the soccer importer.

If the event is added manually then a country is usually required, at least for single events.

I will have a look at the importers as this should be an easy fix.

Any update on this?

Actually a small update, someone else asked for an all_countries API method so I added that. I'm pretty sure you could work out the flags from that.
