Getting lineups before match start
Hi, I’m looking to get the team lineups before the match starts (estimate or announced, whichever one is announced). I see the lineups on the gamelink on mlb.com. Is it possible to get that with one of the endpoints? It super nice that the there is an estimate for the starting pitcher, but would really appreciate to get a more complete lineup shortly before a match starts. Thanks in advance!

All good now. One of the servers got rebooted yesterday and that service didn’t start correctly. Lineups and pitchers have been updated. Thanks again!!!
Hi I see the issue, thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed shortly.
Hi Samran, which game are you referring to?
Hello @Tank01.
Apologies again. But looks like the starting lineup info has not updated in a while. I think there is something wrong there.

Thanks again! I will be happy to get in touch with you directly if you need any assitance!
Hi Smaran, I’ve made some changes to keep the probable starting pitcher updated throughout the day, (pregame only). take a look and again, you aren’t being pushy. Thank you!
No problem really. i appreciate all the feedback! I’ll be in touch.
Ah, I see. Understood. That actually makes sense. The webpage I linked earlier, has the official starting lineups. I guess once that is published, teams cannot change their starters. But thanks for your input. Sorry, if I came across a bit pushy!
Hi Smaran, I wouldn’t say that it’s buggy just because it’s coming back with a different pitcher than what you’re looking at. We’re getting each team’s probable starting pitcher from a different source than what you’re probably looking at. I’m assuming you’re looking at mlb.com? I will study our source vs what actually happens over the next few days and make adjustments if we see there are major differences. I’ll keep you posted.
I’ve been using the endpoint for a few days now. It seems that it is buggy somtimes. For instance right now, it is showing the incorrect starting pitcher. The API is returning different pitcher ids compared to the website.
The starting pitcher for the Guardians should be Tanner Bibee, but the pitcher_id = 671106 is showing that of Logan Allen. I would like to share jsons and pics, but not sure how to do it here.
Glad you’re happy with it!
It’s updated every 5 minutes, starting at 7am Eastern every day.
