Posts: 19 Joined: 2020-07-01 | is the intended result of leaving off the season in the call to return the last season? Looks like it may work that way for NBA, but not all other sports return data that way. The NBA records seem slightly off too though. | ||

But going to the standings on the NBA website, it shows the record for: Milwaukee Bucks to be 56-16, not 63-16 Los Angeles Lakers to be 52-18 not 58-21 | ||

Ovokx Posts: 1,700 Joined: 2020-06-17 | The issue here is that a NBA season currently contains pre-season games + regular season games + playoffs games. @Zag, is it possible to create a "Club friendlies" league for basketball (similar as we have for soccer) in order to move there pre-season & friendly games in order to show proper season values? | ||

Posts: 19 Joined: 2020-07-01 | Is that the same issue for MLB? Also, should using: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/lookuptable.php?l=4424 return the latest team records? Because that does not return any data. Adding &s=2020 to the URL returns data (although it is wrong). NBA does not need the season to return the latest standings | ||

 zag Posts: 3,330 Joined: 2020-03-23 | Actually the lookup table method is only supposed to be used for soccer at the moment, not other sports  Looks like I forgot to lock it down on the API like I have on the website..... Glad it at least works though and identifies errors.I will look at pre-season games, they shouldnt really be listed I think really in the main season list. Its causing confusion in various places. | ||

zag Posts: 3,330 Joined: 2020-03-23 | I fixed the login on the test API key to ignore "Round 0" events. EDIT: Oh no that wont work as all the MLB events are Round 0!! Hmm always baseball causing issues  I will need to look for another solution.... | ||

Posts: 19 Joined: 2020-07-01 | OK, so if the lookup tables do not work for sports other than soccer, I'd have to into all events for a season and count up wins/losses. Is that correct? Is that the easiest way at this point? Noting that it may still be off slightly until we can determine whether an event is finished or not (or postponed/cancelled) | ||

zag Posts: 3,330 Joined: 2020-03-23 | MLB is a strange one as it has so many events, its hard to get it accurate by just a quick manual check after the disruption we've had. I've tried to fix results, but its hard with all the postponements and re-arranged fixtures. If anyone else wants to help out and take a look it would be helpful. EDIT: Yes its missing a big block of results at the end of July as the importer was turned off until August. https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4424&s=2020 While the table API is based on soccer, it should still work for some other sports to give total wins and losses so it is still useful. You can of course also list events for a season and calculate the results yourself. | ||
