The Champions League Live Scores is out! Give a look at the list of its unique features. Have fun! The Champions League Ninja Team It's possible to retrieve all the matches results calling the endpoint /api/championsleague 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 `matchday`, to retrieve the matches for that round -submitting the parameter `group`, to retrieve the matches for that group (only and mandatory for `matchday` between 1 and 6) Match day from 1 to 6 are matches of the group stages. 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 that will be played. 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 (usually after few minutes); 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.* It's possible to get data about teams players and coaches for a game using the following API /api/championsleague/formations The API requires two mandatory attributes, team1 and team2 to select the game of interest, you can either submit the optional parameter matchday useful if a same match is played more times in the League, by default the API returns always the last match played. 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.* 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 request 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 for them team1 and team2 parameters in the request (values are case sensitive, use the matches results requests to find out valid values to use), or for the live version, if the game is not more playing. Using the endpoint API /api/championsleague/table you will get the table for each group League. The table is compute considering all the finished games returned by the matches results API (the one with no live updates) with match day between 1 and 6 (group stages). The API requires the group mandatory parameter to specify the group you want the table for. The API has the time optional parameter either you can submit to get the table considering only first half (FH) or second half (SH) result. Default is fun 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. 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/championsleague/scores that get you the answer after a while the game is finished (usually after few minutes), and the other /api/live/championsleague/scorers with live updates, that give you the answer while the match is still playing (check the matches results API live version to know the games with goals). All of the two versions require two mandatory parameters team1 *that is the first team name of the match* and team2 *that is the second team name for the match* (the names are the ones returned by the matches results API) you can either submit the optional parameter matchday useful if a same match is played more times in the League, by default the API returns always the last match played. 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* 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. The /api/championsleague/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 the optional parameters like 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 get top five scorers only for the specified team * If you specify an invalid player name or a player name that hasn't scored any goal yet, you will get an empty response, that is: {"scorers":[]} The Champions League 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 that get the value for the event (the team module), *players* events instead a list of players name related to the event. There are two API version to get the data events, that is, with (/api/live/championsleague/match/events) or without live updates (/api/championsleague/match/events). The version without live update get you the data only after a while the match is finished (usually within few minutes), the one with live updates instead get you real time data and stop to get you an answer after few minutes the game is finished (at that time you get the answer querying the no live version). All the two API versions require two parameters `team1` that is the first team name and `team2` that is the second team name and returns all the events for the two teams, you can either submit the optional parameter matchday useful if a same match is played more times in the League, by default the API returns always the last match played. The API requires two mandatory parameters team1 *the first team name for the match* team2 *the second team name for the match* you can either submit the optional parameter matchday useful if a same match is played more times in the Cup, by default the API returns always the last match played. 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

dribblesAttempted dribbledPast dispossessed foulsCommited shotsOnTarget offsidesCaught tackleUnsuccesful interceptions dribblesWon clearances possession

goals foulsWon penatyWon penaltyCommited

If a property is missing in the response its value is zero. Take in mind that this API exists in two version, the one without live update /api/championsleague/match/stats and the one with live update /api/live/championsleague/match/stats with the second one one giving you real time statistics updates during the game and the first one giving you only the final statistics after a while the match is finished. It's possible to get all the player statistics for a match using one of the two API version, the no live and the live one, with the first giving you the result only after a while the game is finished (usually within few minutes) and the second you giving you the result starting from the first minute match, until the match is over, that is with live updates. The APIs require three mandatory parameters team1 the first team name for the match team2 the second team name for the match player the player name for which you want to know statistics you can either submit the optional parameter matchday useful if a same match is played more times in the Cup, by default the API returns always the last match played. The result is a JSON format response containing player infos like age, weight, height and player match stats like dribble won, fouls committed.
