Response

The response of this soccer API endpoint contains the following information, for every country element in the list. The same rules apply for the JSON objects and the CSV columns.

Name	Type	Example	Description
id	integer	5	the id of the country which you can use in sub sequential requests.
name	string	Germany	the name of the country.
is_real	integer	1	this is flag that shows whether the country is real. What does this mean is that sometimes the live-scores that we provide in order feed could be related to a real country like England. Then the `is_real` flag will have the value of "1". Other times we will provide football live scores for FIFA World Cup. In this case the country like South America or FIFA will have `is_real` value of "0" because it is not a real country.
leagues	url		this is a soccer API link to the list of all leagues that we have in this country. For example, if you follow this link for England you will see a list of the leagues for which we provide live-scores like: Premiership, Championship, FA Cup and more.
