Coverage


How is each USFL game covered?

All USFL games feature full play-by-play coverage.


Integration


What format are date fields presented in?

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

ex: 2013-04-03

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.

ex: 2013-04-03T18:15:00+00:00

For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601


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:

  • scheduled – The game is scheduled to occur.
  • created – Game data (rosters, officials, etc) are being pre-loaded in preparation for the game.
  • inprogress – The game is in progress.
  • halftime – The game is currently at halftime.

  • postponed – The game has been postponed, to be made up at another day and time. Once the makeup game is announced, a new game and ID will be created and scheduled on the announced makeup date. You should request the scheduled feed(s) regularly to identify the re-scheduled makeup game(s).
  • delayed – The scheduled game, or a game that was in progress, is now delayed for some reason.
  • suspended – The game has been suspended and will be rescheduled in the future, continuing where they left off. The game ID will remain the same.

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.
