US Basketball APIs

Version 8 of our basketball APIs has been released. Updates include:

Added latitude and longitude coordinates for all league venues.

Added team RGB primary and secondary colors for all teams (NBA only)

Added and updated game-level turnover statistics in order to better distinguish important player and team turnovers. Statistics include:

• player_turnovers – Number of turnovers attributed to players in a game (this appears under turnovers in previous API versions)
• team_turnovers – Number of rebounds attributed to a team in a game
• total_turnovers – Number of total turnovers in a game (player_turnovers + team_turnovers)

Added and updated game-level rebound statistics in order to better distinguish important player and team rebounds. Statistics include:

• personal_rebounds – Number of rebounds attributed to players in a game (this appears under rebounds in previous API versions)
• team_rebounds – Number of rebounds attributed to a team in a game
• total_rebounds – Number of total rebounds in a game (personal_rebounds + team_rebounds)

Added several new shot type descriptions for all games in the Play-by-Play endpoint.

Added the number of timeouts remaining for each team in the game endpoints. Each game will now include a remaining_timeouts attribute under team (Boxscore/Summary) or home/away (PBP).
