NBA Overview

Alert

Please note that the current, stable version of our NBA API is v8. We suggest integrating with this version.

API Map

To best utilize the NBA API v4, you will need several parameters to create your API calls. The map below illustrates how you can obtain the parameters you need.

The primary feeds require only a date or season to call the endpoints. Those feeds provide Game, Team, or Player Ids which can be used to generate the game, team, and player feeds. All of the other feeds require no variables.

Coverage Levels

We provide two different levels of detail to ensure maximum coverage. We combine coverage levels with the correct feeds to ensure you are getting the most comprehensive data offering in the most efficient manner possible. Full coverage is available for all regular and postseason games. Most preseason games will also have full coverage, though in some rare cases extended boxscore may be used.

Full – We provide live play-by-play coverage for the entire game. We provide updated scores and time remaining as well as team- and player-level data in near real time.

Extended Boxscore – We provide scores, time remaining, and team leaders (assists, points, and rebounds), in a timely manner, as the game progresses. We provide team- and player-level data for the game within 30 minutes of the official results being posted.
