Seasonal Statistics (Player & Team)

This guide helps you access NBA seasonal statistics for players and teams, and career statistics for players. It also includes instructions for using the Daily Change Log endpoint to monitor post-game stat revisions.

Introduction to Seasonal Statistics

If you've explored integrating live game updates into your application, you may be familiar with the Game Summary endpoint, which provides game statistics in real-time. This guide focuses on accessing seasonal statistics — an aggregation of game statistics across a season — for both players and teams.



Prerequisite - Accessing Available Seasons

To avoid confusion and ensure you're accessing available data, refer to our Seasons feed. This resource lists all the seasons for which we have data.

For example: To ensure data availability for future seasons, such as a schedule in advance of when a season begins, first check the Seasons feed to verify that data for that specific season is already provided.

Starting with this feed can prevent unnecessary errors and streamline your data retrieval process.

📆

Starting Year for Each Season

It's important to note that the season parameter uses the starting year of the season; for example, to retrieve data for the 2024-25 NBA season, you would use 2024 as the value for the season parameter.



How to Access Seasonal Statistics

You can access seasonal statistics using the Seasonal Statistics feed. This endpoint provides complete team and player seasonal statistics for a given season.

🕑

Data Availability

Our seasonal statistics date back to the year 2013, although availability can vary by player and team.


Accessing the Seasonal Statistics Feed:

  1. Get a team ID: You can access a list of all active teams in the NBA API database with the Teams endpoint.
  2. Call the Seasonal Statistics feed: Using the team ID, you can retrieve seasonal statistics for that team — covering preseason (PRE), regular season (REG), or postseason (PST), In-Season Tournament (IST), or Play in Tournament (PIT) — by querying the Seasonal Statistics feed.

The call will retrieve seasonal statistics for the team, its opponents, and its individual players.


Recommended Pull Frequency:

  • Seasonal stats are updated on a five-minute timer after a game is moved to closed
  • To receive the fastest updates, call the feed five to ten minutes after a game is moved to closed.
  • Otherwise, utilize this feed on an as needed basis.
  • The TTL/Cache is 120 seconds.

👍

Tip

Utilize the Daily Change Log endpoint to capture stat revisions after a game has ended. See the Daily Change Log section in this guide for more details.

Accessing Player Career and Seasonal Statistics

You can also access both seasonal and career statistics for players via the Player Profile feed. This feed delivers player seasonal statistics for each season they have played, along with biographical details and draft information.

Note: For players who began their careers before the establishment of the API, some early career stats may not be available.


Accessing the Player Profile Feed:

  1. Get a Player ID: You can find player IDs using various endpoints, such as:
    • Seasonal Statistics: Useful if you're already retrieving seasonal data and want comprehensive career statistics.
    • Team Profile: Use this feed if you have a team ID and need player IDs. For a detailed guide on which feeds provide player data, check the NBA API Map.
  2. Use the Player Profile Feed: Once you have a player ID, use it to access both seasonal and career statistics, providing a comprehensive overview of the player’s performance throughout their career.

Recommended Pull Frequency:

  • The Player Profile feed is updated on a five minute timer after a game is moved to closed
  • To receive the fastest updates, call the feed five to ten minutes after a game is moved to closed.
  • Otherwise, utilize this feed on an as needed basis.
  • The TTL/Cache is 120 seconds.
