Before being able to make a request, you need to create your account in . Here you can create your personal API token, which you need to your requests. You can use the free plan or choose one of the various plans and data features of Sportmonks.

Build the request

The request consists of the following components:

  • The base URL

  • A path parameter, in this example, we use fixtures

  • Optional: Query string parameters, to filter on enrich your requests.

  • And finally, your API token

The base URL

In this example we're using the . The base URL of the fixtures endpoint is:

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football

Your API token

We offer two different options for passing your API token. You are free to choose between the authentication methods. You can also use both of them at the same time. Please note that both methods count towards the same

Authenticate using a query parameter: You can pass your API token by passing 'api_token' in your request parameters, like so: https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN

Authenticate using a request header: You can also pass your token via an 'Authorization' header, like so:

The example above was the most basic request you can create, while our highly flexible football API 3.0 can handle way more advanced requests. Our API's data will enable you to create excellent and specialized applications.

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&include=statistics

You are getting the hang of it now. Let’s make one more request with multiple includes.

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures?apitoken=YOUR_TOKEN&include=statistics;events

Are you interested in seeing the difference in response when you use includes vs when you don't? Check the below response examples.

Request: only select a specific field

One of our new additions to API 3.0 is a name field on the fixtures. The name field contains a textual representation of the participants playing the fixture. Without selecting a specific field, the API request and response would look like this:

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures/18535517?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN
Response
{
  "data": {
    "id": 18535517,
    "sport_id": 1,
    "league_id": 501,
    "season_id": 19735,
    "stage_id": 77457866,
    "group_id": null,
    "aggregate_id": null,
    "round_id": 274719,
    "state_id": 5,
    "venue_id": 8909,
    "name": "Celtic vs Rangers",
    "home_score": 4,
    "away_score": 0,
    "starting_at": "2022-09-03 11:30:00",
    "result_info": "Celtic won after full-time.",
    "leg": "1/1",
    "details": null,
    "length": 90,
    "placeholder": false,
    "starting_at_timestamp": 1662204600
  },

As you can see, the API response is rather large if you're only interested in the fixture's name. Let's select that API field to reduce the response length and size.

In our example, this would result in the below API request and response:

https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/fixtures/18535517?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&select=name
Response
{
  "data": {
    "name": "Celtic vs Rangers",
    "id": 18535517,
    "sport_id": 1,
    "round_id": 274719,
    "stage_id": 77457866,
    "group_id": null,
    "aggregate_id": null,
    "league_id": 501,
    "season_id": 19735,
    "venue_id": 8909,
    "state_id": 5,
    "starting_at_timestamp": null
  },

As you can see in the example response above, the 'name' field is only returned for the fixture.

Please note that the fields that have relations are also automatically included for technical reasons.

Request: filter your request

Next to selecting specific fields on the base entity or includes, it’s possible to filter your request.

Let’s say you want to request all the events of a specific fixture, like Celtic vs Rangers. Your request would look like this:

As you can see in the response, you will receive all match events. But what if you’re only interested in a specific event like goals, cards or substitutions? You can filter on the specific data you're interested in:
