Not allowing me to get players for all NBA teams in one API call

Question

In your "Endpoints" examples for players, you say that the "team" parameter is optional. However, when I try querystring = {"season": "2021"}, I get an error saying "The Team Field is Required".

Please let me know if there is a way to fix this or get around this error, because I am trying to get all the players on all NBA teams, and it takes way too much time to get the data when I have to do 30 API calls (one for each NBA team).

Hi,

It's impossible to get all players in one call, Indeed the parameter "team" is optional because it is possible to mix the parameters between them, you have some examples in the documentation: https://api-sports.io/documentation/nba/v2#tag/Players
