# Standings, Seasons & Top Scorers

Get live league tables, browse historical seasons for any league, and fetch topscorer leaderboards.

### Tools

| Tool                   | Description                                       |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `get_standings`        | Live league table for a league ID                 |
| `get_historic_seasons` | All seasons for a league, sorted newest first     |
| `get_topscorers`       | Goals, assists, or cards leaderboard for a season |

### get\_standings

Returns standings for a league. The tool first attempts to fetch live standings (which reflect the current matchday in real time). If live standings are unavailable - for example during cup knockout phases, between matchdays, or in the off-season - it falls back to the most recent season standings automatically.

**Parameters**

| Parameter | Type    | Required | Description          |
| --------- | ------- | -------- | -------------------- |
| `id`      | integer | Yes      | Sportmonks league ID |

**Each row returns:** position, team name and ID, played, won, drawn, lost, goal difference, points.

### get\_historic\_seasons

Returns all seasons for a league sorted with the most recent first. Useful for finding a `season_id` to pass to `get_topscorers` or `get_squad`.

**Parameters**

| `season_id` | integer | Yes      | Sportmonks season ID                                |
| `type`      | string  | Yes      | `goals`, `assists`, or `cards`                      |
