Season heatmap

GET

https://api.datasportsapi.com/v2/players/{id}/heatmap

Plan: Pro + Business
Auth: Bearer dsa_live_…
Parameters: 3 required · 0 optional
Returns: SeasonHeatmap

Football: a player’s match heatmaps summed over one league season to show where they were active — each point with the number of samples recorded on it — plus the matches included.

Plan access

Requires a Pro or Business plan; every other plan receives 403 endpoint_not_in_plan.

Worth knowing

x / y range from 0 to 100 as in the match heatmap, with x running along the pitch in the direction the player’s team attacks. Use count to weight the density. Limited to football in covered leagues.
