Get started with NCAA Women's Basketball API v7
Alert
Please note that the current, stable version of our NCAA Women's Basketball API is v8. We suggest integrating with this version.
API Map
To best utilize the NCAA Women's Basketball API, 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.
Tournament IDs
Tournament Ids are only listed in the Tournament List feed. Use the Tournament List to get the Ids required to access the Tournament Schedule and Tournament Summary.
Data Retrieval Samples
To find a team's leader in assists for a given game:
- Call the schedule or daily schedule and find the Game Id for the chosen game
- Call the Game Boxscore using the Game Id
- Find the Team Assists Leader statistics and locate the player full_name attribute
The name of the team's leader in assists is displayed.
To find the coach's name for a given team:
- Call the season or series schedule and find id for the coach's team
- Call the Team Profile using the Team ID
- Find the coach element and locate the full_name attribute
The coach's full name is displayed.
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 games featuring an AP Top 25 team
- All "Power Five" (ACC, B1G, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC) Conference Tournament games
