I am a beginner in learning python and want to get data from your api, and basically had it been an array of fixtures, it would be easier for me to fetch the data I need but I am stuck because of the numbers(the ids). Basically what I want is to iterate through all the ids and get, in each id, homeTeam name and awayTeam name. Any help would be appreciated.

It will be like this in the V2 planned in 2019.

All endpoints will be reviewed to return a array and not a series of objects

I can see that. IMHO, it would make much more sense and would be much easier to parse if fixtures was an array of fixture. Something like:

{
  "api": {
    "results": 56,
    "fixtures": [
       {
        "fixture_id": "664",
        "event_timestamp": "1543002300",
        "event_date": "2018-11-23T19:45:00+00:00",
        "league_id": "3",
        "round": "Championship - 18",
        "homeTeam_id": "57",
        "awayTeam_id": "60",
        "homeTeam": "Ipswich",
        "awayTeam": "West Brom",
        "status": "Not Started",
        "statusShort": "NS",
        "goalsHomeTeam": null,
        "goalsAwayTeam": null,
        "halftime_score": null,
        "final_score": null,
        "penalty": null,
        "elapsed": "0",
        "firstHalfStart": "0",
        "secondHalfStart": "0"
      },
      { ... },

Hi,

There is no bug, this is the model :

You can check our documentation at https://www.api-football.com/documentation/

This is the normal return from fixtures/date endpoints :
