ID Handling

The MLB API includes a number of unique identifiers. Some IDs are required to request feeds, while others are used to uniquely identify data returned within a response.

IDs in the MLB API can represent leagues, seasons, games, teams, players, venues, postseason series, and play-level objects such as events, at-bats, and runners. These identifiers are used consistently across feeds to connect related data.

For example, season IDs are discovered through the Seasons feed, game IDs are used to retrieve game-centric feeds (Play-by-Play, Boxscore, Summary), team IDs connect schedules to team profiles and rosters, and player IDs link player profiles to stats and in-game events.

ID Types

The MLB API primarily uses UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers).

UUIDs are used to uniquely identify MLB entities such as seasons, games, teams, players, venues, and postseason series. These UUIDs are consistent across MLB API feeds and should be stored and reused to link related data throughout your integration.

⚠️
Sportradar ID (SR_ID) Availability for MLB
SR_IDs are not supported within the MLB API at this time.
To retrieve SR_IDs, use the Odds Comparison Prematch v2 feeds:

For players: use the Player Mappings endpoint

For games: use the Sport Event Mappings endpoint

These feeds include IDs across multiple sports covered by Sportradar.

UUIDs

UUIDs follow a standard structure:

XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Example UUIDs from schedule responses include game.id, team.id, and venue.id:

{
  "id": "6ee5365d-b436-4dc1-9973-b487eb75fd29",
  "status": "closed",
  "home_team": "1d678440-b4b1-4954-9b39-70afb3ebbcfa",
  "away_team": "75729d34-bca7-4a0f-b3df-6f26c6ad3719",
  "venue": {
    "id": "84d72338-2173-4a90-9d25-99adc6c86f4b",
    "name": "Rogers Centre"
  }
}

These UUIDs are consistent across MLB API endpoints and should be stored and reused.

Season IDs

Each MLB season has its own unique identifier under season.id. Seasons are organized by year and season type (for example, PRE, REG, PST, AST, WBC).

You can discover available seasons using the Seasons feed. Season IDs are stable once created and are referenced throughout schedule, standings, and statistics feeds to scope data to a particular competition window.

League ID

The league entity is returned as league.id and remains constant across MLB feeds. This is primarily informational and is not typically required as a request parameter.

"league": {
  "alias": "MLB",
  "name": "Major League Baseball",
  "id": "2fa448bc-fc17-4d3d-be03-e60e080fdc26"
}

Game IDs

Each MLB game has a unique identifier under games[].id in schedule feeds. This game.id is the primary key for game-centric retrieval and should be cached for downstream requests.

You can obtain game IDs from:

{
  "id": "fffbffca-9da3-4f35-870b-71075d9114bd",
  "status": "scheduled",
  "scheduled": "2026-07-31T01:40:00+00:00",
  "home_team": "d52d5339-cbdd-43f3-9dfa-a42fd588b9a3",
  "away_team": "a7723160-10b7-4277-a309-d8dd95a8ae65"
}

Important for postponed and suspended games

When a game is postponed or suspended and later resumed, the game ID remains the same. Your integration should continue to reference the original game.id when retrieving resumed game data.

Team IDs

Each MLB team has a unique identifier under team.id. Team IDs appear throughout schedules and game feeds as home_team and away_team, and as full home and away objects with name/abbr metadata.

Use team IDs to link:

Schedule games to Team Profile
Rosters to team context
Team seasonal stats and standings

"home": {
  "name": "Blue Jays",
  "market": "Toronto",
  "abbr": "TOR",
  "id": "1d678440-b4b1-4954-9b39-70afb3ebbcfa"
}

Player IDs

Each MLB player has a unique identifier under player.id in player and roster contexts, and is referenced throughout game feeds (for example, hitters, pitchers, runners, and fielders).

Player IDs are used to connect:

Player Profile to seasonal stats
Roster and depth information to teams
In-game events (Play-by-Play and Push Events) back to players

Example from an event payload:

"pitcher": {
  "id": "cc86d4d3-1618-415e-b7fc-a303f3b8dd6f",
  "preferred_name": "Marcus",
  "last_name": "Stroman"
},
"hitter": {
  "id": "42cb5171-ffa3-4600-9c41-dbc3805206ea",
  "preferred_name": "Christian",
  "last_name": "Yelich"
}

Venue IDs

Each ballpark is identified by venue.id. Venue IDs appear in schedule and game responses and allow you to associate games with a specific location.

"venue": {
  "name": "Yankee Stadium",
  "market": "New York",
  "id": "706e9828-6687-4ac8-a409-3fb972e8bae9",
  "time_zone": "US/Eastern"
}

Venue IDs are stable and can be stored to support venue pages, maps, and historical game browsing.

Postseason Series IDs

During the postseason, the Series Schedule feed introduces series-level identifiers under series[].id. A series groups multiple games under a single matchup and round context.

{
  "title": "ALDS - DET vs SEA",
  "id": "f12b63ce-4ba8-4516-83c1-13a4754b816c",
  "round": "ALDS2",
  "best_of": 5,
  "status": "closed"
}

Within each series, individual games are still identified by games[].id. Your integration should store both:

series.id to represent the matchup container
game.id to request game-level endpoints

Play-level IDs

Game-centric feeds may include additional identifiers that are scoped to a single game, such as:

event.id (individual play events)
atbat_id (plate appearance grouping)
other event-linked IDs (for outcomes or sequences)

These IDs are useful for de-duplication and event processing, especially when consuming Push Events, but they should be treated as game-contextual identifiers.

"event": {
  "id": "40ce37f0-24fe-4abe-8d9c-bee4b6167102",
  "type": "pitch",
  "atbat_id": "894a5399-585b-4966-93a1-8370a3c3e24f"
}

IDs in Other Sportradar Products

Global Baseball

The Global Baseball API uses SR IDs (for example, sr:competitor:*, sr:sport_event:*, or sr:player:*) as its primary identifiers. These SR IDs are consistent within the Global Baseball product and are designed to support cross-product linking across the broader Sportradar ecosystem.

While MLB coverage is available in both the MLB API and the Global Baseball API, SR IDs from the Global Baseball API do not carry over to the MLB API. MLB entities such as games, teams, players, venues, and seasons are identified exclusively by UUIDs within MLB API feeds. As a result, IDs are not directly interchangeable; use mapping feeds where available.

</season_players>

If you consume both MLB and Global Baseball products, treat MLB UUIDs and Global Baseball SR IDs as separate identifier systems, and avoid assuming one-to-one compatibility between them.

Odds

The Odds APIs include MLB odds data, and are based on the sr_id system.

Make use of the Mapping Feeds within each Odds API should you need to link IDs between APIs. These feeds provide id and sr_id links for leagues (Competitions), teams (Competitors), players, and games (Sport Events).

Access
Please note that you will need access to the Odds APIs in your account to make use of these endpoints.

Images and Editorials

The Images and Editorials APIs support MLB. These APIs reference MLB data using the same UUIDs found in MLB data feeds. Match MLB Images/Editorial items to MLB API entities using refs[].sportsdata_id.

This allows you to reliably associate MLB images and editorial content with games and events using UUID-based matching.

Widgets

Our MLB Widgets often will require the input of a unique game, team, player, or season ID. Each of these are the UUIDs found in the MLB API.

Best Practices

Use UUIDs (for example, game.id, team.id, player.id, venue.id) as your primary keys.
Discover IDs from high-level feeds first (Seasons and Schedules), then reuse them across downstream requests.
Do not hardcode IDs. Cache and refresh using schedule feeds and the Daily Change Log.
Treat provider reference fields (for example, reference, mlb_id) as supplemental, not primary identifiers.
For postponed and suspended games, continue using the same game.id when the game resumes.
