Knockout brackets for a season, such as a cup’s knockout phase, a playoff tree or a tennis draw. Inside each bracket come rounds, then ties, then the two participants of a tie (team, seed, winner, score), then the DataSportsAPI fixture ids.

Worth knowing

  • score is the tie result as our data source reports it — aggregate goals across both legs in football, series wins in basketball and ice hockey, sets in tennis — and penalties holds shoot-out goals.
  • fromBlock gives the order of the previous-round tie the participant advanced from.
  • A null team marks a placeholder slot (“winner of QF 1”), and matchCount 0 marks a bye.
  • Load the individual matches with /v2/fixtures/{id}.
  • Seasons without a knockout phase return an empty array.

01Parameters

  • idpathRequired

    league id issued by DataSportsAPI, a positive integer

  • seasonqueryRequired

    season id, as listed by /v2/leagues/{id}/seasons

02Request

The same call from the command line and each SDK. The SDK lines assume a client created with your key; left out, it is read from DATASPORTSAPI_API_KEY. Installing a client: SDKs & CLI.
