Winter Sports Overview

Introduction

The Winter Sports API covers the following sports for Men's and Women's competitions:

Alpine Skiing
Biathlon
Cross Country
Figure Skating
Nordic Combined
Ski Jumping

This API uses a descending, stage-based structure. By changing the stage ID, you can retrieve information on a season, discipline, event, or run.

Additional feeds provide complementary stats, including basic team/competitor profiles and historical results.

Authentication is required for all API calls.

API Map

To best utilize the Winter Sports 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 Seasons feed requires only a human-readable parameter to call the endpoint. This feed provides season Stage Ids, which can be used to generate descending Sport Event Summary feeds to include more detailed event info. These feeds can then be used to generate profile feeds.

Endpoint Descriptions
