Other Endpoints

Specialty package endpoints for shots, rotations, officials, and estimated metrics

Other Endpoints

Six specialty endpoints round out the game package.

Split entry keys: Four endpoints start from game_id; two estimated-metric endpoints start from season.

Pair this shelf with Box Scores for the core postgame packet and Play-by-Play for event order.

Route cues

  • Stay on this page when the core boards are missing context, not when they are missing basic totals.
  • Use game_id routes for shots, stints, officials, and summary packets tied to one matchup.
  • Use season routes for estimated metrics that act more like compact season boards.
