ID Handling

Intro to IDs

Our WNBA API features a number of unique identifiers. Some IDs are needed to request feeds, while others signify unique data.

IDs can be attributed to leagues, conferences, divisions, teams, venues, weeks, periods, quarters, coaches, managers, prospects, possessions, plays, in-game events, and many other variables.

ID Types

There are two primary ID types attributed to a variety of variables:

UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers)
SR IDs (Sportradar Identifiers)

Each directly identifies a given variable within the API, across multiple Sportradar APIs, or within data outside of Sportradar. The forms of IDs within the WNBA API are detailed below.

UUID IDs

These are the primary IDs we suggest to implement in your integration. They correlate to the League Specific APIs.

UUIDs follow a specific structure: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

You'll see these UUIDs for teams, players, games, seasons, and more.

<team id="5d70a9af-8c2b-4aec-9e68-9acc6ddb93e4" name="Dream" alias="ATL" market="Atlanta"/>

SR IDs

These IDs correlate to our General Sport APIs, in this case the Global Basketball API. They can have a varying structure but always begin with sr: and end with a number.

<competitor id="sr:competitor:3440" name="Minnesota Lynx" short_name="Minnesota" abbreviation="MIN"/>

These IDs may appear as an id or a sr_id in various APIs.

<team
	id="6f017f37-be96-4bdc-b6d3-0a0429c72e89" name="Lynx" market="Minnesota" alias="MIN" founded="1999" sr_id="sr:team:3440" owner="Glen Taylor, Alex Rodriguez, and Marc Lore" general_manager="Clare Duwelius" president="Carley Knox" mascot="Prowl" sponsor="Mayo Clinic" championships_won="4" championship_seasons="2011, 2013, 2015, 2017" conference_titles="4" retired_numbers="13, 23, 32, 33, 34" playoff_appearances="15" reference="1611661324">
	<venue id="7aed802e-3562-5b73-af1b-3859529f9b95" name="Target Center" capacity="19356" address="600 First Avenue North" city="Minneapolis" state="MN" zip="55403" country="USA" sr_id="sr:venue:6930">

🏀
Important Note
The sr_id is an optional value in the WNBA API and it’s strongly encouraged to utilize the UUIDs as your primary key. If you are integrating with the Global Basketball API or any of our Odds APIs, the sr_ids will be needed.
You can also use the mapping endpoints found in the Global Basketball API to get the mapping for each UUID to SR ID.

IDs in other SR Products

NCAA Women's Basketball

Most WNBA Players have previous experience in NCAA Women's Basketball, and thus have profiles and IDs within the NCAA Women's Basketball API. However, these unique IDs do not transfer to the WNBA API.

Drafted players are added to their WNBA teams within a few days after the WNBA Draft. Any undrafted free agents will also be added when those signings are announced. All of these player IDs will be separate across APIs.

🏀
WNBA Draft
At this time, there are currently no draft endpoints available for the WNBA, unlike those provided for the NBA.

You may also leverage the Mapping Feeds within the Global Basketball API should you need to link Sportradar IDs. These Mapping feeds provide id and sr_id links for teams, players, games, and seasons.

Global Basketball

The Global Basketball API covers WNBA data at a much lower tier, and is based on the sr_id system, with IDs that look like: sr:competitor:3440 or sr:sport_event:54679333.

Make use of the Mapping Feeds within Global Basketball should you need to link between APIs. These feeds provide id and sr_id links for teams, players, games, and seasons.

Widgets

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

Game IDs

Each WNBA game will have its own unique identifier under game.id. See below for a sample taken from the Schedule endpoint.

Once created, game IDs are unchanging, except in the rare case that a game is postponed, or a game is mistakenly created twice (the duplicated UUID would be removed).

Team IDs

Each WNBA team will have its own unique identifier under team.id. You can locate all active teams in the League Hierarchy feed, and all active teams in our WNBA database in the Teams feed.

Team Relocation

Team IDs will not change once created. Even if a team relocates their ID will remain the same.

TBD Teams

Within the Teams feed, you will find a TBD team. This unique ID can be used to populate game information when game matchups are not yet known. You can find more info on this process in the Playoffs integration scenario.

<team id="907dc4e5-6957-4d19-b7d4-b1b7003b91e6" name="TBD" market="Team" alias="TBD"/>

Player IDs

Each WNBA player will have their own unique identifier under player.id. You can locate all active players on a given team in the Team Profile endpoint, and retrieve detailed player biographical info and stats in the Player Profile endpoint.

Player IDs in other Products

Each WNBA player.id is specific to the WNBA API. IDs will not transfer to other basketball APIs. To learn more about linking IDs across API products visit this section.

Duplicate Player IDs

A duplicate player profile (and player.id) can be introduced by mistake. In these cases, we will mark the duplicate player with a status of DUP. All profiles marked as duplicates can be ignored, but they will remain in our database to limit confusion.
