Play-by-Play		We are excited to introduce a new way to test our NFL and NCAA Football APIs with our latest simulation solution, providing a way to simulate our game feeds. This new solution will allow you to select from a library of games and replay games on your schedule. We are introducing this solution first with our NFL and NCAA Football APIs and plan to add other sports to our library.

Key highlights of our Football Simulations:
  • Select a game to simulate from a library of our recorded games.
  • Select the game feed(s) you are interested in playing back.
  • Start your session on your schedule—no more waiting for simulated games to start at a predefined time.
  • Playback the latest version of the API in natural time.
  • No API key is necessary to use the simulations.
  • We have 50 NFL and 20 NCAA Football games available from the 2022 football seasons. We will continue to add games to the library with 2023 games.
  • RESTful game endpoints available – Game Box Score, Play-by-Play, Statistics, and Rosters.
  • Push feeds are not supported right now.
