Venue Stats API

Venue Stats API

The Venue Stats API provides stats for Test, ODI, and T20I cricket grounds. Request individual stats from the list extracted from the Venue List API for fast updates.

Request structure

Here is what you would require to make a successful HTTP REST Venue Stats API call.

Sample Request

TERMINAL
pip install requests
pip install requests
icon copy
get_venue_stats.py
import requests project_key = 'YOUR_PROJ_KEY' token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' venue_key = "c__stadium__mchinnaswamy_stadium__64b76" format = "t20" url = "https://api.sports.roanuz.com/v5/cricket/{}/venue/{}/format/{}".format(project_key, venue_key, format) headers = { 'rs-token': token } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) print(response.json())
import requests

project_key = 'YOUR_PROJ_KEY'
token = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
venue_key = "c__stadium__mchinnaswamy_stadium__64b76"
format = "t20"

url = "https://api.sports.roanuz.com/v5/cricket/{}/venue/{}/format/{}".format(project_key, venue_key, format)
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.

cache.key

Our recommendations on what Key or ID you should use while you cache a response of this API.

cache.expires

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.

cache.max_age

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.

cache.etag

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 Venue Stats 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 information about the current minor version and major version of the API.
