NFL API – Awards Endpoints

We’ve added two new awards-based endpoints to our NFL API, enabling access to NFL award definitions and seasonal award recipients.

Awards List: Provides a list of all NFL awards available in the API.
Seasonal Awards: Provides all awards recipients for a given season and season type.

⭐ Benefit

With these endpoints, access award data for honors such as MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, and All-Pro selections. Track annual recipients going forward to enrich your player and team profiles.
