Tournament Fixtures API
Request structure
Here is what you would require to make a successful HTTP REST Tournament Fixtures API call.
Sample Request
pip install requests
import requests
project_key = 'YOUR_PROJ_KEY'
token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
tournament_key = "ausind_2020"
url = "https://api.sports.roanuz.com/v5/cricket/{}/tournament/{}/fixtures/".format(project_key,tournament_key)
headers = {
'rs-token': token
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())import requests
project_key = 'YOUR_PROJ_KEY'
token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
tournament_key = "ausind_2020"
page_key = "2"
url = "https://api.sports.roanuz.com/v5/cricket/{}/tournament/{}/fixtures/{}/".format(project_key,tournament_key,page_key)
headers = {
'rs-token': token
}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())Concepts & Scenarios
We recommend you to go through the following concepts and scenarios and keep them in mind while developing your application. A sound knowledge of these scenarios should help you in maintaining the quality of your app.
HTTP Status
Possible status codes you may receive in response to your requests.
Cache
A cache object accompanies every API response. It comes with a set of recommended values to help you properly cache the data and handle the cache internally.
When you try to cache the responses on say MemCached, Redis or any other cache server, you will usually require a Key and an expire time.
Our recommendations on what Key or ID you should use while you cache a response of this API.
Our recommendations on how long you can cache a particular response.
An interesting thing to note here is that the recommended expire time is not going to be the same under all situations. Our intelligent caching mechanism dynamically decides the best expire time analysing various parameters.
The cache object also provides you with a max_age and the ETag values, which lets you implement the ETag HTTP caching mechanism. To implement HTTP Caching with this API, refer here.
Our recommended period of time up to which you can consider the data to be fresh. It gives you a heads up on when you should be checking for updates in the data.
Etag is an identifier for a specific version of a response. To know more, refer here.
The time period specified in max_age will be lesser than that in the expires object. To sum it up, the cache.expires object tells you how long you can cache the data while the cache.max_age object tells you when you should check for updates.

Response Schema
The schema as per which the data is sent by the Tournament Fixtures API is explained below. We constantly work on improving our API system, and in some cases, safely introduce new attributes to provide interesting and useful features. To give you a heads up regarding such updates, every successful API response will contain a schema object. It gives the information about the current minor version and major version of the API.
