#Sample Workflows
Retrieve a list of active competitions:
GET /competitions
Note: Currently the competitions endpoint only lists currently active or very recently completed tournaments in 2020. We are updating our historical matches, and will release past seasons shortly!
Retrieve fixtures/results for a particular competition and season:
GET /competitions -> GET /fixtures/competition_id/season
Note: The fixtures endpoint lists all fixtures and results from the beginning of the season in one file. You can use these results to retrieve match_id s to query the match endpoint.
Retreive standings for a particular competition and season:
GET /competitions -> GET /standings/competition_id/season
Note: The standings endpoint lists a detailed table (or tables) for a given tournament and season. Note International test matches do not have associated tables.
Retrieve an individual match:
GET /competitions -> GET /fixtures/competition_id/season -> GET /match/match_id
Note: An individual match file lists the following:
- Detailed match scores
- Match minute and status
- Teamsheets including substitutions and player positions
- Detailed team stats including attack, discipline, defence, set plays, and possession
- A timeline of match events associated with teams and players from start to finish including tries, penalties, conversions, drop goals, and substitutions
