In this reference page, we show you how you can the list of fixtures that we have for all competitions and how to interpret the data that our soccer API provides you.
On this page, we are explaining how you can get the list with currently available fixtures. Also, the possibilities that you have to filter and traverse the football fixtures data.
NOTE: The id of the fixture will not be the id of the match when the match starts or finishes, but there is a filed in the data provided by the live scores api endpoint that is called fixture_id, which indicates to which fixture the match is related to. The same thing applies for the football history matches api endpoint. There you can also find the data field fixture_id and the id of the live-score match ID and the history match ID is always the same.
In order, to get the list of all fixtures that our soccer API feed supports the only thing you need to do is the call the URL below. We are supporting fixtures for 400+ national and international competitions all over the globe. In this example, we have used your api key and secret pair. If you copy the URL it will work straight away.
The fixtures API endpoint supports several parameters that you can use to filter data and traverse through it at your convenience. The parameters are listed in the table below. You can use the parameters together as well as separately.
| Name | Type | Required | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lang | string | fa | 2 letter ISO 639-1 language code | |

| date | date/string | 2018-05-15/today | Results in showing only fixtures on that date. If you provide today as a value, our soccer API will return only the fixtures for today. |
Our soccer API now transitioned to using competitions and leagues are deprecated. If your code uses leagues it will continue to work but for new users, only the competition filtering will be functioning.
