I am looking to use the API to make a home display scoreboard and I am not sure it is possible as I don't see any info on doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes definitly possible, a few other developers have done this for things like an NFL scoreboard.

You would just need to take the json data and use some kind of web language to translate that into a web page really. Quite easy with JSON tutorials on YouTube.

Thank you much. I have some experience with css and vue is so that should be good to get me started I would think. I'll post updated once I get a bit more free time.

The tutorial helped a lot to be honest. The Scoreboard is coming along nicely, I have a Welcome page that has dropdowns for MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, NCAA Basketball, NCAA Football, and NCAA Men's Hockey. From the dropdown menu the teams are listed alphabetically and when selected shows the current event in progress with a live score or the next scheduled event both with logos. When selected it will take you to a static scoreboard for the event which I am still working on. I will eventually also add buttons for all of the above sports that will display s scrolling ticker. For Golf, NASCAR and Formula 1 I will add buttons that take you to a live page for those events.

Working on soccer as well, but I need to find a better way to sort the leagues rather than one enormous dropdown.

Is there a way to get Team Logos/Badges with an API Call?

Looking up all teams by league id should work yes

Interesting project! I'm just curious what exactly your use case for this is? Is this hosted on a public website or is it some kind of self-hosted app? Would love to take a look at it if possible
