Golf API – Integration Guide

A new Integration Guide is now available for the Golf API.

⭐ Benefit

The guide pairs step-by-step integration scenarios (schedules, player statistics, live tournaments, playoffs, team events, and change monitoring) with a canonical Tournament Status Workflow reference, per-feed update frequencies, and workflow diagrams. Every code sample is drawn from real API responses, including live-captured tournament, round, and player status transitions.

⛳ Recommended Actions

• Start with the Overview for the guide map and a recommended reading order for new and experienced integrators
• Use the Tournament Status Workflow page as the canonical reference when building state machines, live leaderboards, or notification logic; treat closed and cancelled as the only terminal tournament statuses
• Size polling against the Update Frequencies chart and drive live polling from round.status rather than fixed timers
• Consult the Golf API Map in API Basics to see the identifier each feed requires before constructing requests
• Follow the Integration Scenarios that match your use case for end-to-end workflows with real request and response examples
