 Posts: 13 Joined: 2021 | Hi, I've just found this project and it looks great. I'm building a little site using the API tutorial but have hit an issue finding WWE. The sport category is Fighting, and WWE's location is listed as "Worldwide" on it's page on this site, but when I visit the following URL I don't see WWE in the JSON? https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/search_all_leagues.php?c=Worldwide&s=Fighting Seems to work well for a lot of other sports Ive checked so not sure why this one is different. Also, similiar to the Fighting page on this website is it possible to fetch the Featured Leagues through the API? Currently I'm setting the default on my page to just show 'Worldwide', then asking the user to select their country, but some sports are showing only defunct results, e.g.: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/search_all_leagues.php?c=Worldwide&s=American%20Football Many Thanks Will | ||

I have noticed that if I leave out the Worldwide parameter then the API returns a lot more wrestling leagues like NJPW, however WWE still isn't amongst them. I guess I'm wondering if something is configured differently in the backend for certain leagues which prevents them showing up? Also, is it possible to get a list of all countries specific to a sport through the API? So instead of getting a list of all countries, I'd just want a list of countries where Ice Hockey is played for example. Many thanks again. | ||
