For a demo on how using Talend and the tFootballDataInput component take a look at this YouTube demo here. ## Season results It's possible to retrieve all the 2016-17 season matches calling the endpoint /api/bundesliga You can call the API -without submitting any parameter, to get all the matches for the day (if there isn't any match for the day you will get a 500 server error, that it isn't count as an API call) -submitting the parameter `date`, to retrieve the matches for that date (in the format mmddyyyy) -submitting the parameter `team1`, to retrieve the matches that the team has played at home (together with `team2` return that very match) -submitting the parameter `team2`, to retrieve the matches that the team has played away (together with `team1` return that very match) -submitting the parameter `matchday`, to retrieve the matches for that round If matches are already played, the API will give you data about red cards number if any, referee , final and first half scores too, otherwise only the matches schedule. Here it is an example response for a call wit a match day already played (`matchday=1`) {"matches":[ {"team1":{"teamScore":5,"teamName":"Bayern Munich","firstHalfScore":1}, "team2":{"teamScore":0,"teamName":"Hamburger SV","firstHalfScore":0},"time":"FT","referee":"Bastian Dankert","when":"Friday, Aug 14 2015"}, ..... {"team1":{"teamScore":1,"teamName":"VfB Stuttgart","firstHalfScore":0}, "team2":{"teamScore":3,"teamName":"FC Cologne","firstHalfScore":0},"time":"FT","referee":"Wolfgang Stark","when":"Sunday, Aug 16 2015"} ]} and here it is an example response for a call wit a match day not yet played (`matchday=22`) {"matches":[ {"team1":{"teamName":"Bayern Munich"},"team2":{"teamName":"Darmstadt"},"when":"Saturday, Feb 20 2016"}, {"team1":{"teamName":"Schalke 04"},"team2":{"teamName":"VfB Stuttgart"},"when":"Saturday, Feb 20 2016"}, {"team1":{"teamName":"Bayer Leverkusen"},"team2":{"teamName":"Borussia Dortmund"},"when":"Saturday, Feb 20 2016"}, ..... {"team1":{"teamName":"Ingolstadt"},"team2":{"teamName":"Werder Bremen"},"when":"Saturday, Feb 20 2016"} ]} Take in mind that this API returns only final results (`"time":"FT"`) or not already played matches, and the final ones only after a while the matches are really finished (however always within 24 hours); if you need live updates you have to set the`live` parameter to *true* (in this case `time` returns the minute for the match), if there isn't any playing match for the parameters specified, the API give you the 500 error message 'No games found'. *Take in mind that a live request can continue to give you the result even after a while, usually some hours, a match is finished; as soon as the API stop to give you the result for the match, you can get the result again removing the live parameter.* You can get historical results either setting the optional parameter season (default value 2016-17); for now you can get results from the season 2008-09. Historical data are only available with the **MEGA** plan. ## Lineups, substitutes and coaches It's possible to get data about teams players and coaches for a game using the following API /api/bundesliga/formations The API requires two mandatory attributes, team1 and team2 to select the game of interest. The result is a JSON object with two properties, team1 and team2, where each *team* property is an object containing the teamName and the players properties, where the first one is the name of the team (equals to the one in the request) and the second one an object with the arrays lineups and substitutes with each array item equals to an object containing the playerNamber, that is the shirt number for the player and the playerName attribute. *Captain players are identified by the property isCaptain.* Following an example response for the request team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 { "team1": { "teamName": "Schalke 04", "players": { "substitutes": [ { "playerNumber": "3", "playerName": "Junior Caicara" }, { "playerNumber": "6", "playerName": "Sead Kolasinac" }, { "playerNumber": "9", "playerName": "Franco Di Santo" }, { "playerNumber": "23", "playerName": "Pierre-Emile Højbjerg" }, { "playerNumber": "24", "playerName": "Kaan Ayhan" }, { "playerNumber": "30", "playerName": "Michael Gspurning" }, { "playerNumber": "33", "playerName": "Roman Neustädter" } ], "lineups": [ { "playerNumber": "1", "playerName": "Ralf Fährmann" }, { "playerNumber": "27", "playerName": "Sascha Riether" }, { "playerNumber": "15", "playerName": "Dennis Aogo" }, { "playerNumber": "8", "playerName": "Leon Goretzka" }, { "playerNumber": "4", "playerName": "Benedikt Höwedes" }, { "playerNumber": "32", "playerName": "Joel Matip" }, { "playerNumber": "19", "playerName": "Leroy Sané" }, { "playerNumber": "5", "playerName": "Johannes Geis" }, { "playerNumber": "25", "playerName": "Klaas-Jan Huntelaar" }, { "playerNumber": "7", "playerName": "Max Meyer" }, { "playerNumber": "13", "playerName": "Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting" } ] }, "coach": "André Breitenreiter" }, "team2": { "teamName": "Hannover 96", "players": { "substitutes": [ { "playerNumber": "7", "playerName": "Edgar Prib" }, { "playerNumber": "11", "playerName": "Felix Klaus" }, { "playerNumber": "13", "playerName": "Philipp Tschauner" }, { "playerNumber": "14", "playerName": "Allan Saint-Maximin" }, { "playerNumber": "20", "playerName": "Felipe" }, { "playerNumber": "31", "playerName": "Waldemar Anton" }, { "playerNumber": "35", "playerName": "Charlison Benschop" } ], "lineups": [ { "playerNumber": "1", "playerName": "Ron-Robert Zieler" }, { "playerNumber": "29", "playerName": "Oliver Sorg" }, { "playerNumber": "3", "playerName": "Miiko Albornoz" }, { "playerNumber": "8", "playerName": "Manuel Schmiedebach" }, { "playerNumber": "25", "playerName": "Marcelo" }, { "playerNumber": "19", "playerName": "Christian Schulz" }, { "playerNumber": "2", "playerName": "Leon Andreasen" }, { "playerNumber": "5", "playerName": "Salif Sané" }, { "playerNumber": "9", "playerName": "Artur Sobiech" }, { "playerNumber": "6", "playerName": "Ceyhun Gülselam" }, { "playerNumber": "26", "playerName": "Kenan Karaman" } ] }, "coach": "Michael Frontzeck" } } The lineups players are ordered from goalkeeper to forward, to get more insight on how players are on the pitch see the events Module-Start and Module-Change you can get from the match events API without forgetting the attribute position returned by the player match statistics API. **You can get the formations starting from 30 minutes before a match start using the`live` parameter set to *true***, if the API give you the 500 error message, that means the game is already finished from a while or it's not playing or not going to play. *Take in mind that a live request can continue to give you the result even after a while, usually some hours, a match is finished; as soon as the API stop to give you the result for the match, you can get the result again removing the live parameter.* The APIs can either respond with a 500 error if doesn't exist a match in the 2016-17 season for them team1 and team2 parameters in the request (values are case sensitive, use the season results requests to find out valid values to use). For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## League Table Using the endpoint API /api/bundesliga/table you will get the current table for the league. The current table is compute considering all the finished games returned by the season results API (the one with no live updates). The API let you to restrict the games considered using the following three optional parameters from *to include all the games played from (default the first played game returned by the no live version of the season results API)* to *to include all the games played till to (default the last played game return by the no live version of the season results API)* mode *set to home to consider only home games, to away to consider only away games (default all games)* time *to compute the table considering only the first half (FH) or the second half (SH). Default is full time (FT)* The JSON response give you data about the team name the game played, win, loss, goalsFor, goalsAgainst and points. The API at the moment don't take into account any penalization a team could have to compute the total points number. You can get table from previous seasons either setting the option parameter season; for now you can query for league table from the 2008-09 season (default value for season is 2016-17). ## Match scorers It's possible to get all the scorers for a match with a single API call. There are two version for this API, one without live update /api/bundesliga/scores that get you the answer after a while the game is finished (usually between few hours, and however always within 24 hours), and the other /api/live/bundesliga/scorers with live updates, so you can get the answer even while the match is still playing (check the season results API live version to know the games with goals). All two versions require two mandatory parameters team1 *that is the home team name* and team2 *that is the away team name* (always the ones returned by the season results API). The JSON response contains the player name who scored the goal and the minute it was scored, more it can contains other attributes either that qualify better the kind of goal. At the moment the attributes handled by the API are: isPenalty *true if the goal is scored from a penalty, default false* isOwn *true if the goal is an own goal, default false* isFromCorner *true if the goal is scored from a corner, default false* isFreekick *true if the goal is scored from a free kick, default false* isLeftFoot *true if the goal is scored by left, default false* isRightFoot * true if the goal is scored by right, default false* isHead *true if the goal is scored by head, default false* Here it is a JSON response for the following query string team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 {"team1":{ "teamName":"Schalke 04", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"isPenalty":true,"player":"Johannes Geis","minute":"51'"}, {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar","minute":"72'"}, {"isHead":true,"player":"Franco Di Santo","minute":"81'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Allan Saint-Maximin","minute":"81'"} ]}} The API give you an answer even if there isn't any goal for a match, in that case the goals attribute will be an empty array. For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Top Scorers The /api/bundesliga/table/scorers let you the get the top five scorers for the league. The JSON result give you the player name, the number of goals scored in order from the first till the fifth and the number of ones scored by penalty. You can either use optional parameters to query for a different set of games, that is from *to consider only the games played from the match day specified (default 1)* to *to consider only the games played till to the match day specified (default last final match day returned by the season results API no live version)* mode *to consider only goals scored at home or away (default all)* player *to get the result only for the player name specified (useful to get the number of goals scored by those players that aren't in top 5).* team *to consider only goals scored for the specified team * If you specify a player name that hasn't scored any goal yet, you will get an empty response, that is: {"scorers":[]} otherwise, like for example querying for player=Anthony+Ujah {"scorers":[{"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":7","penalties":0}]} or for for example with mode=away&to=15 {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Yunus Malli","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Salomon Kalou","goals":5","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Paul Verhaegh","goals":4","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Kevin Volland","goals":4","penalties":0} ]} or maybe simply without any parameter {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Robert Lewandowski","goals":25","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang","goals":19","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Thomas Müller","goals":15","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Javier Hernández","goals":13","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Sandro Wagner","goals":13","penalties":1} ]} For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Match events The Bundesliga Live Scores API let you trace two different kind of events *Team events* `Module-Start` (tell you the team module, that is how players are on the pitch, as soon as the match start) `Module-Change` (tell you each module change occurred during the match) *Players events* `Yellow-Card` `Red-Card` `In` and `Out` (substitutions) `Missed-Penalty` (penalty failed) `Saved-Penalty` (keeper save a penalty) `Saved-Goal` (player avoid an already done goal clearance off the line) `Shot-On-Post` `Error-Goal` (player error that lead to a goal) `Assist-Goal` (when a player intentionally do an assist that lead to a goal) `Goal-Disallowed` `Penalty-Won` (the player that won the penalty) `Penalty-Commited` (the player that committed a penalty foul) `Changed-Captain` (the new captain player if the previous goes out) All *teams* and *players* events give you the *minute* the event occurred, *teams* events have a *value* attribute more that get the value for the event (the team module), *players* events instead a list of players name related to the event. For example .... {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4411","minute":"0'"} *value is the formation module 4-4-1-1 .... {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} .... There are two API version to get the data events, that is, with (/api/live/bundesliga/match/events) or without live updates (/api/bundesliga/match/events). The version without live update get you the data only after a while the match is finished (usually within few hours), the one with live updates instead get you real time data. When the match is finished the live version continue to get you the answer that will be the same you get with the no live one if this last one has been synchronised (usually always within 24 hours). All the two API versions require two parameters `team1` that is the home team name and `team2` that is the away team name and returns all the events for the two teams for example with team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 you will get {"team1": {"teamName":"Schalke 04","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Franco Di Santo"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Pierre-Emile Højbjerg"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Max Meyer"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Johannes Geis"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sead Kolasinac"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sascha Riether"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"9'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Artur Sobiech"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Charleston Benschop"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Marcelo"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"50'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Manuel Schmiedebach"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Allan Saint-Maximin"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Leon Andreasen"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Edgar Prib"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} ]}} For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Match statistics The API requires two mandatory parameters team1 *the home team name for the match* team2 *the away team name for the match* In the JSON response you can find the following impressive amount of statistics for each team of the match selected:

totalSaves touches aerialsWon passesTotal passesSuccessful cornersTotal cornersAccurate tackleSuccessful throwInsTotal

If there is any doubt about the player will play the match the reason will be inside a square bracket, otherwise the reason will be with no bracket. Typical reasons are *Injured, Suspended, Unfit, Other*. For example calling the API with team1=Hertha+Berlin&team2=Hannover+96 you will have the following response { "team1" : { "players" : { "missing" : [ { "playerName" : "Sami Allagui", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "Sinan Kurt", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "John Brooks", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "Per Skjelbred", "reason" : "[Injured]" } ] }, "teamName" : "Hertha Berlin" }, "team2" : { "players" : { "missing" : [ { "playerName" : "Leon Andreasen", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "Charlison Benschop", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "Felipe", "reason" : "Injured" }, { "playerName" : "Hotaru Yamaguchi", "reason" : "Injured" } ] }, "teamName" : "Hannover 96" } } For now the API returns results for the current season only.

At the moment the attributes handled by the API are: isPenalty *true if the goal is scored from a penalty, default false* isOwn *true if the goal is an own goal, default false* isFromCorner *true if the goal is scored from a corner, default false* isFreekick *true if the goal is scored from a free kick, default false* isLeftFoot *true if the goal is scored by left, default false* isRightFoot * true if the goal is scored by right, default false* isHead *true if the goal is scored by head, default false* Here it is a JSON response for the following query string team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 {"team1":{ "teamName":"Schalke 04", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"isPenalty":true,"player":"Johannes Geis","minute":"51'"}, {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar","minute":"72'"}, {"isHead":true,"player":"Franco Di Santo","minute":"81'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Allan Saint-Maximin","minute":"81'"} ]}} The API give you an answer even if there isn't any goal for a match, in that case the goals attribute will be an empty array. For now the API returns results for the current season only. The /api/bundesliga/table/scorers let you the get the top five scorers for the league. The JSON result give you the player name, the number of goals scored in order from the first till the fifth and the number of ones scored by penalty. You can either use optional parameters to query for a different set of games, that is from *to consider only the games played from the match day specified (default 1)* to *to consider only the games played till to the match day specified (default last final match day returned by the season results API no live version)* mode *to consider only goals scored at home or away (default all)* player *to get the result only for the player name specified (useful to get the number of goals scored by those players that aren't in top 5).* team *to consider only goals scored for the specified team * If you specify a player name that hasn't scored any goal yet, you will get an empty response, that is: {"scorers":[]} otherwise, like for example querying for player=Anthony+Ujah {"scorers":[{"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":7","penalties":0}]} or for for example with mode=away&to=15 {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Yunus Malli","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Salomon Kalou","goals":5","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Paul Verhaegh","goals":4","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Kevin Volland","goals":4","penalties":0} ]} or maybe simply without any parameter {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Robert Lewandowski","goals":25","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang","goals":19","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Thomas Müller","goals":15","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Javier Hernández","goals":13","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Sandro Wagner","goals":13","penalties":1} ]} For now the API returns results for the current season only. The Bundesliga Live Scores API let you trace two different kind of events *Team events* `Module-Start` (tell you the team module, that is how players are on the pitch, as soon as the match start) `Module-Change` (tell you each module change occurred during the match) *Players events* `Yellow-Card` `Red-Card` `In` and `Out` (substitutions) `Missed-Penalty` (penalty failed) `Saved-Penalty` (keeper save a penalty) `Saved-Goal` (player avoid an already done goal clearance off the line) `Shot-On-Post` `Error-Goal` (player error that lead to a goal) `Assist-Goal` (when a player intentionally do an assist that lead to a goal) `Goal-Disallowed` `Penalty-Won` (the player that won the penalty) `Penalty-Commited` (the player that committed a penalty foul) `Changed-Captain` (the new captain player if the previous goes out) All *teams* and *players* events give you the *minute* the event occurred, *teams* events have a *value* attribute more that get the value for the event (the team module), *players* events instead a list of players name related to the event. For example .... {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4411","minute":"0'"} *value is the formation module 4-4-1-1 .... {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} .... There are two API version to get the data events, that is, with (/api/live/bundesliga/match/events) or without live updates (/api/bundesliga/match/events). The version without live update get you the data only after a while the match is finished (usually within few hours), the one with live updates instead get you real time data. When the match is finished the live version continue to get you the answer that will be the same you get with the no live one if this last one has been synchronised (usually always within 24 hours). All the two API versions require two parameters `team1` that is the home team name and `team2` that is the away team name and returns all the events for the two teams for example with team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 you will get {"team1": {"teamName":"Schalke 04","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Franco Di Santo"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Pierre-Emile Højbjerg"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Max Meyer"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Johannes Geis"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sead Kolasinac"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sascha Riether"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"9'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Artur Sobiech"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Charleston Benschop"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Marcelo"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"50'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Manuel Schmiedebach"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Allan Saint-Maximin"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Leon Andreasen"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Edgar Prib"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} ]}} For now the API returns results for the current season only. The API requires two mandatory parameters team1 *the home team name for the match* team2 *the away team name for the match* In the JSON response you can find the following impressive amount of statistics for each team of the match selected:

For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Lineups, substitutes and coaches It's possible to get data about teams players and coaches for a game using the following API /api/bundesliga/formations The API requires two mandatory attributes, team1 and team2 to select the game of interest. The result is a JSON object with two properties, team1 and team2, where each *team* property is an object containing the teamName and the players properties, where the first one is the name of the team (equals to the one in the request) and the second one an object with the arrays lineups and substitutes with each array item equals to an object containing the playerNamber, that is the shirt number for the player and the playerName attribute. *Captain players are identified by the property isCaptain.* Following an example response for the request team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 { "team1": { "teamName": "Schalke 04", "players": { "substitutes": [ { "playerNumber": "3", "playerName": "Junior Caicara" }, { "playerNumber": "6", "playerName": "Sead Kolasinac" }, { "playerNumber": "9", "playerName": "Franco Di Santo" }, { "playerNumber": "23", "playerName": "Pierre-Emile Højbjerg" }, { "playerNumber": "24", "playerName": "Kaan Ayhan" }, { "playerNumber": "30", "playerName": "Michael Gspurning" }, { "playerNumber": "33", "playerName": "Roman Neustädter" } ], "lineups": [ { "playerNumber": "1", "playerName": "Ralf Fährmann" }, { "playerNumber": "27", "playerName": "Sascha Riether" }, { "playerNumber": "15", "playerName": "Dennis Aogo" }, { "playerNumber": "8", "playerName": "Leon Goretzka" }, { "playerNumber": "4", "playerName": "Benedikt Höwedes" }, { "playerNumber": "32", "playerName": "Joel Matip" }, { "playerNumber": "19", "playerName": "Leroy Sané" }, { "playerNumber": "5", "playerName": "Johannes Geis" }, { "playerNumber": "25", "playerName": "Klaas-Jan Huntelaar" }, { "playerNumber": "7", "playerName": "Max Meyer" }, { "playerNumber": "13", "playerName": "Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting" } ] }, "coach": "André Breitenreiter" }, "team2": { "teamName": "Hannover 96", "players": { "substitutes": [ { "playerNumber": "7", "playerName": "Edgar Prib" }, { "playerNumber": "11", "playerName": "Felix Klaus" }, { "playerNumber": "13", "playerName": "Philipp Tschauner" }, { "playerNumber": "14", "playerName": "Allan Saint-Maximin" }, { "playerNumber": "20", "playerName": "Felipe" }, { "playerNumber": "31", "playerName": "Waldemar Anton" }, { "playerNumber": "35", "playerName": "Charlison Benschop" } ], "lineups": [ { "playerNumber": "1", "playerName": "Ron-Robert Zieler" }, { "playerNumber": "29", "playerName": "Oliver Sorg" }, { "playerNumber": "3", "playerName": "Miiko Albornoz" }, { "playerNumber": "8", "playerName": "Manuel Schmiedebach" }, { "playerNumber": "25", "playerName": "Marcelo" }, { "playerNumber": "19", "playerName": "Christian Schulz" }, { "playerNumber": "2", "playerName": "Leon Andreasen" }, { "playerNumber": "5", "playerName": "Salif Sané" }, { "playerNumber": "9", "playerName": "Artur Sobiech" }, { "playerNumber": "6", "playerName": "Ceyhun Gülselam" }, { "playerNumber": "26", "playerName": "Kenan Karaman" } ] }, "coach": "Michael Frontzeck" } } The lineups players are ordered from goalkeeper to forward, to get more insight on how players are on the pitch see the events Module-Start and Module-Change you can get from the match events API without forgetting the attribute position returned by the player match statistics API. **You can get the formations starting from 30 minutes before a match start using the`live` parameter set to *true***, if the API give you the 500 error message, that means the game is already finished from a while or it's not playing or not going to play. *Take in mind that a live request can continue to give you the result even after a while, usually some hours, a match is finished; as soon as the API stop to give you the result for the match, you can get the result again removing the live parameter.* The APIs can either respond with a 500 error if doesn't exist a match in the 2016-17 season for them team1 and team2 parameters in the request (values are case sensitive, use the season results requests to find out valid values to use).

The API at the moment don't take into account any penalization a team could have to compute the total points number. You can get table from previous seasons either setting the option parameter season; for now you can query for league table from the 2008-09 season (default value for season is 2016-17). ## Match scorers It's possible to get all the scorers for a match with a single API call. There are two version for this API, one without live update /api/bundesliga/scores that get you the answer after a while the game is finished (usually between few hours, and however always within 24 hours), and the other /api/live/bundesliga/scorers with live updates, so you can get the answer even while the match is still playing (check the season results API live version to know the games with goals). All two versions require two mandatory parameters team1 *that is the home team name* and team2 *that is the away team name* (always the ones returned by the season results API). The JSON response contains the player name who scored the goal and the minute it was scored, more it can contains other attributes either that qualify better the kind of goal. At the moment the attributes handled by the API are: isPenalty *true if the goal is scored from a penalty, default false* isOwn *true if the goal is an own goal, default false* isFromCorner *true if the goal is scored from a corner, default false* isFreekick *true if the goal is scored from a free kick, default false* isLeftFoot *true if the goal is scored by left, default false* isRightFoot * true if the goal is scored by right, default false* isHead *true if the goal is scored by head, default false* Here it is a JSON response for the following query string team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 {"team1":{ "teamName":"Schalke 04", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"isPenalty":true,"player":"Johannes Geis","minute":"51'"}, {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar","minute":"72'"}, {"isHead":true,"player":"Franco Di Santo","minute":"81'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96", "goals":[ {"isRightFoot":true,"player":"Allan Saint-Maximin","minute":"81'"} ]}} The API give you an answer even if there isn't any goal for a match, in that case the goals attribute will be an empty array. For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Top Scorers The /api/bundesliga/table/scorers let you the get the top five scorers for the league. The JSON result give you the player name, the number of goals scored in order from the first till the fifth and the number of ones scored by penalty. You can either use optional parameters to query for a different set of games, that is from *to consider only the games played from the match day specified (default 1)* to *to consider only the games played till to the match day specified (default last final match day returned by the season results API no live version)* mode *to consider only goals scored at home or away (default all)* player *to get the result only for the player name specified (useful to get the number of goals scored by those players that aren't in top 5).* team *to consider only goals scored for the specified team * If you specify a player name that hasn't scored any goal yet, you will get an empty response, that is: {"scorers":[]} otherwise, like for example querying for player=Anthony+Ujah {"scorers":[{"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":7","penalties":0}]} or for for example with mode=away&to=15 {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Yunus Malli","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Anthony Ujah","goals":5","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Salomon Kalou","goals":5","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Paul Verhaegh","goals":4","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Kevin Volland","goals":4","penalties":0} ]} or maybe simply without any parameter {"scorers":[ {"playerName":"Robert Lewandowski","goals":25","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang","goals":19","penalties":0}, {"playerName":"Thomas Müller","goals":15","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Javier Hernández","goals":13","penalties":1}, {"playerName":"Sandro Wagner","goals":13","penalties":1} ]} For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Match events The Bundesliga Live Scores API let you trace two different kind of events *Team events* `Module-Start` (tell you the team module, that is how players are on the pitch, as soon as the match start) `Module-Change` (tell you each module change occurred during the match) *Players events* `Yellow-Card` `Red-Card` `In` and `Out` (substitutions) `Missed-Penalty` (penalty failed) `Saved-Penalty` (keeper save a penalty) `Saved-Goal` (player avoid an already done goal clearance off the line) `Shot-On-Post` `Error-Goal` (player error that lead to a goal) `Assist-Goal` (when a player intentionally do an assist that lead to a goal) `Goal-Disallowed` `Penalty-Won` (the player that won the penalty) `Penalty-Commited` (the player that committed a penalty foul) `Changed-Captain` (the new captain player if the previous goes out) All *teams* and *players* events give you the *minute* the event occurred, *teams* events have a *value* attribute more that get the value for the event (the team module), *players* events instead a list of players name related to the event. For example .... {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4411","minute":"0'"} *value is the formation module 4-4-1-1 .... {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} .... There are two API version to get the data events, that is, with (/api/live/bundesliga/match/events) or without live updates (/api/bundesliga/match/events). The version without live update get you the data only after a while the match is finished (usually within few hours), the one with live updates instead get you real time data. When the match is finished the live version continue to get you the answer that will be the same you get with the no live one if this last one has been synchronised (usually always within 24 hours). All the two API versions require two parameters `team1` that is the home team name and `team2` that is the away team name and returns all the events for the two teams for example with team1=Schalke+04&team2=Hannover+96 you will get {"team1": {"teamName":"Schalke 04","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Klaas-Jan Huntelaar"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Franco Di Santo"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Pierre-Emile Højbjerg"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Max Meyer"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"78'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Johannes Geis"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sead Kolasinac"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"87'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Sascha Riether"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"9'"} ]}, "team2":{ "teamName":"Hannover 96","events":[ {"eventName":"Module-Start","value":"4231","minute":"0'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Artur Sobiech"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Charleston Benschop"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"16'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Marcelo"}],"eventName":"Yellow-Card","minute":"50'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Manuel Schmiedebach"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Allan Saint-Maximin"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"62'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Leon Andreasen"}],"eventName":"Out","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Edgar Prib"}],"eventName":"In","minute":"77'"}, {"players":[{"playerName":"Kenan Karaman"}],"eventName":"Shot-On-Post","minute":"80'"} ]}} For now the API returns results for the current season only. ## Match statistics The API requires two mandatory parameters team1 *the home team name for the match* team2 *the away team name for the match* In the JSON response you can find the following impressive amount of statistics for each team of the match selected:
