Enrich your response with includes

You can enrich your API response by including related data that is crucial for your application. By utilising the “includes” functionality, you can retrieve additional information such as player statistics, team details, match events, and more, all in a single request.

This eliminates the need for multiple API calls, streamlining your development process and optimising performance.

Explore our tutorial about Enriching Your Response to learn how to maximise the richness of your data.

Selecting specific fields for efficiency

Sometimes, you may only need some of the data returned by our API for your application. Sportmonks Football API for developers allows you to select specific fields relevant to your project to enhance efficiency. Choosing only the necessary fields reduces the payload size and improves response times.

Our Selecting Fields tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on fine-tuning your API calls to retrieve the required football data.

Filter to refine your results

Filter your API requests to retrieve only the data that meets your specific criteria. Whether you want to fetch matches from a particular league, players with specific attributes or only a set of statistics, our football API for developers supports a wide range of filter options.

Our Filtering tutorial walks you through applying filters to narrow down your results and obtain targeted data.
