What format are date fields presented in?

When we present date only values we present these in the ISO 8601 standard format.

We use these for attributes that have date and no time (such as birthdate). For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

What format are the date/time fields presented in?

All of our Date/Time attributes are in UTC, presented in the ISO 8601 standard format.

How do I locate the TTL (Time to Live)/cache on an API endpoint?

The cache (in seconds) can be accessed in the returned header information on each RESTful API call, under cache-control.

ex. cache-control: max-age=1, public, s-maxage=1 or
cache-control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=120

Game Statuses

What are the game statuses and their descriptions?

Here are the valid game statuses and their descriptions:

Statistics

How are assisted sacks calculated in the feeds?

Assisted sacks are credited when two players sack the quarterback. We provide this in the Play-by-Play feed and Game Boxscore as an integer. Those sacks are rolled up into the sacks stat and can be a float.

For example, if a player had 3 ast_sacks and 2 sacks in a game his game-level sack number would be 3.5.

Subjective Statistics

What are subjective stats and how are they handled?

Subjective stats are variety of data points that go beyond typical stats like yards, pass attempts, and touchdowns. Due to how the data is collected, it requires an operator to re-watch the game, thus there is a delay on when it is provided in the feeds.

These data points are delivered the following Tuesday by the end of the day (6:00 pm ET) and will show up in the existing NFL API feeds. The data is available in both XML and JSON feed formats. As the demand rises for additional data points we will continue to refine the data set collected.

Which statistics are subjective?

Here are the valid subjective statistics:

Batted Passes
Broken Tackles
Catchable Pass
Defender Blitz
Defensive Completion
Defensive Target
Dropped Pass
Fake Field Goal
Fake Punt
Hang Time
Hash Mark
Huddle
Hurry
Incompletion Type
Kneel down
Knockdown
Left Tightends
Men in Box
Missed Tackle
On Target Throws
Onside Attempt
Onside Success
Pass Route
Play Action
Play Direction
Players Rushed
Pocket Location
Pocket Time
QB at Snap
QB Blitz
QB Hurry
QB Knockdown
Right Tightends
Run Pass Option
Running Lane
Scramble
Screen Pass
TE Location
Team Blitz
Yards After Contact

Draft

When can I expect NFL draftees to populate in the Prospects endpoint?

Prospects are typically added in mid to late March, after the draft order is determined by the NFL.

How is the data within the Draft feeds populated?

Sportradar’s experts seed players from our NCAA database. We use a variety of sources to generate a comprehensive list of players who expect to be drafted. The list is typically 500+ players.

How is an NFL prospect specified as a top prospect?

Top prospects are subjective. We use the same sources for top prospects as we do when creating the initial draft pool.

When are drafted players added to the core endpoints?

Drafted players will be available on their NFL team (Team Profile) after each completed round.

For more on how to integrate a draft day solution, see this guide.

Schedules

How do I pull in schedule data for future games in which teams are not yet known?

This API features a TBD team used for every entry in to-be-determined matchups. This virtual team will have its own unique ID specific to this API.

Find the TBD team in the Teams endpoint.

<team id="23ed0bf0-f058-11ee-9989-93cc4251593a" name="TBD" market="Team" alias="TBD"/>

The matchups will appear as below in the Schedule endpoints.
