A new include call rankings has been added to the API. You may use this include on a Team to get information about the coefficient rankings for the desired team. We continue to expand our coverage regarding these rankings.

"rankings": [
    {
        "id": 10,
        "position": 4,
        "participant_id": 8,

2024-09-10

We've introduced a new field, sort_order, to the Event entity. This field provides a numerical ranking system to determine the chronological order of events within a specific type.

{
  id: 120221102,
  fixture_id: 19296203,
  period_id: 5606524,
  participant_id: 8,
  type_id: 14,
  section: "event",
  player_id: 1743,
  related_player_id: 84627,
  player_name: "Virgil van Dijk",
  related_player_name: "Konstantinos Tsimikas",
  result: "1-2",
  info: "Header",
  addition: "3rd Goal",
  minute: 41,
  extra_minute: null,
  injured: null,
  on_bench: false,
  coach_id: null,
  sub_type_id: null
  sort_order: 3 <- Assigned per type_id
},

By assigning a unique sort order to each event within a type, users can more easily organize and display events in a sequential manner based on their occurrence. This feature allows for a more intuitive and efficient way to identify, browse and filter events.

What's New?

  • xG Types: Explore detailed Expected Goals (xG) metrics, including Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Goals on Target (xGoT), for teams and players participating in football matches.

  • New Endpoints: Discover new endpoints, such as v3/football/expected/fixtures and v3/football/expected/lineups, specifically designed to retrieve xG data per team or player lineup.

2024-04-05

  • Added new statistics types for teams on seasonal level: Card Per Foul, Shot On Target Percentage, Shot Conversion Rate, Penalty Conversion Rate, Most Injured Players, Most Substituted Players, Appearing Players, Average Points Per Game, Players Footing, Amount Of Foreigners, Average Player Age, and Average Player Height.

  • Periods now show the elapsed minute and seconds even though a period is no longer ticking.

2024-02-26

  • Introducing the ability to perform custom sorting on Sportmonks API3 endpoints! With this enhancement, users can now include the sortBy parameter to sort base entities in ascending or descending order. The feature supports sorting on fields like starting_at and name for fixtures, providing users with greater flexibility in organising and retrieving data.

    You can find more information on the dedicated sorting page.

2023-11-27

  • An endpoint to retrieve extended squad details has been added. This endpoint shows all players that were active in the current seasons for the team. If a player is no longer part of the squad or is currently a youth team player, the in_squad field is marked false.

  • Periods now contain a has_timer attribute. It marks whether we have detailed timer information for minutes and seconds attributes available.

  • Minor updates and optimisations to our back-end infrastructure.

2023-11-13

  • Historical records and value changes are now available for the Premium Odds Feed. They are available via the history include (updates since 5 minutes ago) on PremiumOdd records, or via the respective All and Updated endpoints (all updates).

  • Passing your preferred time zone now also has direct effect on the query results on the League By Date endpoint.

2023-10-30

2023-09-21

  • A new event type has been implemented which tracks VAR checks related to cards. From today onwards all VAR events that are related to cards are covered under the VAR_CARD event type.

2023-09-06

  • Both Referee and Coach entities now offer the possibility to add the latest include. The include providers their latest fixtures records from the past 6 months.

2023-09-04

  • When available, a code field has been added to the API error response, these errors include a link to our documentation pages where the errors are explained more briefly. The code corresponds to one of the entries in the listed table.

  • When using the statistics include on a Season, using the nested Type include caused the original type field for the object to be overridden. To prevent this behaviour from happening, the relational Type object will now be available under the statistic_type attribute.

2023-08-15

  • TV station BT Sport has been renamed to TNT Sports due to rebranding. (affecting ID 46 and 860). TNT Sports 2, 3, 4 are newly added under ID 928, 929, 930.

2023-06-08

  • Endpoints for retrieving statistics have been added. These allow you to easily retrieve statistics for specific seasons, stages, or rounds, instead of having to propagate through includes to retrieve them.

  • A new include called 'currentPeriod' has been added. It allows for retrieval of the inplay period in a more convenient way compared to using the periods include. Please note the include may return NULL. For example when the match has not yet started, is in half-time, or has ended.

  • The PlayerStatistic entity now contains a has_values field, indicating whether a Player has any statistics available for the given season.

  • We have renamed the BEATS type to SUCCESSFUL_DRIBBLES to better reflect the type of statistic.

  • We have added the currentPeriod include. You can use this as a more convenient way to get the current inplay period for a fixture. Note that the result can be null, for example when the fixture itself is not inplay or the fixture is currently in half-time break.

2023-05-17

  • The Multiple Fixtures by Id endpoint now allows a maximum of 50 unique id's, this reflects the maximums (per_page) we allow on default paginated endpoints.

2023-04-28

  • The developer name of Type "Screwsnails Removal" (id: 830) has been renamed to SCREWS_NAILS_REMOVAL for naming convention.

2023-04-18

As per an earlier announcement, we have released some changes to the API on this date.

Removed fields:

  • State: is_live, is_pending, is_period_end, is_final_state, is_cancelled, is_final_standing_state, is_completed, type_id, is_deleted, is_notstarted, period_length_setting, deactivate_inplay

  • Period: period_length_internal, final_minute, home_score, away_score

  • Fixture: last_processed_at

Renamed fields:

  • Squad: yersey_number was renamed to jersey_number

Added fields:

  • League: category (basic tier like indicator for the size / popularity of the league. Ranges from 1-4, where 1 are the most 'popular' leagues.

Ordering on endpoints:

  • Paginated endpoints now support ordering, you can pass a query parameter order with your request to indicate the desired order. Currently order=desc and order=asc are supported. Visit the documentation of the endpoint you are wishing to use ordering on to obtain the field that the ordering applies on.

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&page=2&order=desc

Threshold adjustments:

  • The threshold of the Latest Updated Fixtures endpoint was lowered from 5 minutes, to 10 seconds. The previous threshold of 5 minutes fetched too much results at times, causing requests to time out.
