Hi,
Im new here and trying to develop something cool using the amazing API. I just realized that even though you change the id in lookupteam (for example https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/123/lookupteam.php?id=133725) it always returns results for idTeam=133604 (Arsenal). Any chance this could be fixed? Thanks again!

You are seeing that because you're using the free key which only displays example data for some endpoints.

Getting a paid key is the only way around it.

Im just curious why the API documentation doesnt say this clearly? It only says that you are limited to 1 result and not that it will only return sample data

Yes you are right, it must have got lost somewhere. I have updated the documentation with a note.
