We’ll show you three different endpoints that you can work with to get the seasonal statistics and squad data. Afterwards, we’ll show you a basic implementation process to build the team page. Example requests of the English Premier League team Liverpool of the 23/24 season will be shown.
Step 1: Gather the tools
You are going to need the following tools:
-
Sportmonks API token -
Code editor (Visual studio used in examples)
-
Postman (optional)
Squad statistics
To get all players of a squad and squad stats, you can opt to only show the current season, but if you value historical data, then you might as well show past iterations of the squad. It’s common to show all the members of the squad on one page for a nice overview of all their statistics, such as:
Player names
Playtime
Number of appearances in matches
Number of times substituted in or out
Number of goals scored, assists given
Number of cards received
And there are many more options available in the Football API.
Team seasonal statistics
You can have statistics about almost anything in Football. So, it’s up to you to decide what statistics you want to show to your users. At Sportmonks we offer you highly detailed season statistics per team such as:
Win-loss record
Number of attacks, fouls, cards, saves
Clean sheets
Number of goals scored between periods
Ranking and how many points they have
Average time for first goal scored/conceded
Average number of goals per match/win
And much more!
Step 2: The request
The squad by team and season id endpoint requires you to simply fill in the ids of the season and team you want. While the team by id endpoint has you fill in the team id and filter on season id.
Team by ID:
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/teams/8?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&&include=statistics.details&filters=teamStatisticSeasons:21646 toevoegen
Team Squad by Team ID and Season ID
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/squads/seasons/21646/teams/8?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN&include=player;details.type
*Keep in mind that the Squad endpoint provides player statistics, while the Team endpoint provides team statistics.

Step 3: Evaluate the response
We’ll now only show you the output of the GET Team Squad by ID and Season ID endpoint including statistics.
Let’s take a look at Mohammed Salah’s stats for the Premier League. There’s a lot of information about his stats, such as minutes played, times he got substituted in or out, duels won, goals, etc.
Now for the team by id endpoint with the statistics include, this request returns all the season with statistics. Please check out team statistics tutorial to learn how to filter on specific data.
Step 4: Extra’s
To add more to your team page you could add league standings and topscorer standings for the league you prefer.
You can retrieve seasonal standings; we simply have the endpoint: “GET Standings by Season ID.”
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/standings/seasons/{ID}?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN
There is a lot more information regarding their standings that you can opt to use for your application.
You can also add the top scorers’ standings to your page. For that, we have created the ‘topscorers endpoint‘.
https://api.sportmonks.com/v3/football/topscorers/seasons/{ID}?api_token=YOUR_TOKEN
By using these endpoints, you can add more depth to your team page.
