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.
