This is possible simple by adding "/preview" onto the end URL. This will give you a small 200px version. This will work with JPG images only.

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Hmm that's not right, i will check. Maybe our source has issues. EDIT: Looks like we have huge demand on that API method which isn't surprising as its one of the only free ones on the internet. I think I will make it faster for Patreon subscribers as we cant sustain such huge traffic for a free site. i will have a look for some ideas. | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Hello!! Please help I use this type of cast API data from server to get livescore: @Parcelize data class LiveMatchItem ( val Date : String? = null, val League : String? = null, val Round : String? = null, val HomeTeam : String? = null, val HomeTeam_Id : Int? = null, val AwayTeam : String? = null, val AwayTeam_Id: Int? = null, val Time : String? = null, val HomeGoals : Int? = null, val AwayGoals : Int? = null, val HomeGoalDetails : String? = null, val AwayGoalDetails : String? = null, val HomeLineupGoalkeeper : String = null, val AwayLineupGoalkeeper : String = null, val HomeLineupDefense : String = null, val AwayLineupDefense : String = null, val HomeLineupMidfield : String = null, val AwayLineupMidfield : String = null, val HomeLineupForward : String = null, val AwayLineupForward : String = null, val HomeLineupSubstitutes : String = null, val AwayLineupSubstitutes : String = null, val HomeSubDetails : String = null, val AwaySubDetails : String = null, val Location : String? = null, val Stadium : String? = null, val HomeTeamYellowCardDetails : String = null, val AwayTeamYellowCardDetails : String = null, val HomeTeamRedCardDetails : HomeTeamRedCardDetails, val AwayTeamRedCardDetails : AwayTeamRedCardDetails, val HasBeenRescheduled : Boolean? = null ): Parcelable If the data not NULL/Empty this is no problem but when data is empty/null generate error in my program because the type of null field/data in array is an OBJECT ( {} ) not a STRING anymore!!! Why you not use NULL in value ???? This sample from postman: { "teams": { "Match": [ { "Date": "2019-04-28T07:30:00+00:00", "League": "Chinese Super League", "Round": "7", "HomeTeam": "Tianjin Teda", "HomeTeam_Id": "134646", "AwayTeam": "Shanghai East Asia FC", "AwayTeam_Id": "134640", "Time": "Finished", "HomeGoals": "0", "AwayGoals": "2", "HomeGoalDetails": "22':Andres Vombergar;52':Ondrej Vanek;79':Sylvester Igboun;90':Sylvester Igboun;", "AwayGoalDetails": "16':Eric Cosmin Bicfalvi;", "HomeLineupGoalkeeper": "Aleksandr Belenov; ", "AwayLineupGoalkeeper": "Yaroslav Godzur; ", "HomeLineupDefense": "Ionut Nedelcearu; Alexey Nikitin; Danil Krugovoy; ", "AwayLineupDefense": "Denys Kulakov; Varazdat Haroyan; Sergei Bryzgalov; Mikhail Merkulov; ", "HomeLineupMidfield": "Dmitry Zhivoglyadov; Catalin Carp; Dmitri Sysuev; Bojan Jokic; Ondrej Vanek; Sylvester Igboun; ", "AwayLineupMidfield": "Andrey Egorychev; Roman Yemelyanov; Marco Aratore; Eric Cosmin Bicfalvi; Othman El Kabir; ", "HomeLineupForward": "Andres Vombergar; ", "AwayLineupForward": "Andrey Panyukov; ", "HomeLineupSubstitutes": "Yuriyi Shafinskyi; Timur Akmurzin; Aleksandr Sukhov; Pavel Alikin; Aleksandr Putsko; Azamat Zaseev; Vyacheslav Krotov; Azer Aliev; Igor Bezdenezhnykh; Veroljub Salatic; Olivier Thill; Lovro Bizjak; ", "AwayLineupSubstitutes": "Oleg Baklov; Aleksandr Dantsev; Shamsiddin Shanbiev; Dominik Dinga; Denis Polyakov; Artyom Fidler; Nikolay Dimitrov; Yuri Bavin; Anatoliy Katrich; Pavel Pogrebnyak; ", "HomeSubDetails": "54': out Ondrej Vanek;54': in Olivier Thill;77': out Dmitri Sysuev;77': in Vyacheslav Krotov;88': out Dmitry Zhivoglyadov;88': in Aleksandr Sukhov;", "AwaySubDetails": "55': out Andrey Egorychev;55': in Artyom Fidler;61': out Andrey Panyukov;61': in Denis Polyakov;77': out Marco Aratore;77': in Nikolay Dimitrov;", "Location": "Dynamo Stadium", "Stadium": "Dynamo Stadium", "HomeTeamYellowCardDetails": {}, "AwayTeamYellowCardDetails": {}, "HomeTeamRedCardDetails": {}, "AwayTeamRedCardDetails": "59':Sergei Bryzgalov;" }, PLEASE HELP, THIS MAKE ME CRAZY Sorry about my bad english!!!! | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Thanks for the detailed explanation, I understand the issue but we get our livescores from a 3rd party source that are used by many developers so there must be a way round it on the client side. There is also the danger that I break it for our current users... I will look into modifying the {} to convert to NULL, but I can make no promises, it seems like a little hack to me. | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | I can't seem to find many of the cup competitions in your feed. For instance the English FA Cup, the English League Cup (Carabao Cup) and the Danish Cup (Pokalen), For the FA Cup I tried having a look at Wolverhamptons latest 5 matches, since the last one was the FA Cup final, but it didn't show the match at all | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Yep thats because it only shows the main competition (in this case the premier league). Are you accessing the data from the API? If so what method? If its the front end website then you would just need to browse to the FA cup "league" to see the results. https://www.thesportsdb.com/season.php?l=4482&s=1819 | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | It seems like the max return from a GET on the 'event seasons' endpoint is 1500. When I run this https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json ... 424&s=2019 in Postman I can only get to August 2019. Is there some way around this? | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Oh wow! Looks like there are a lot of events in an MLB season If you are a Patreon subscriber I can up the limit on that API method. It should return up to 2500 events now which I hope is enough. Make sure you use the production key. For info there are 2,007 events in total. Crazy hehe. | ||

zag Posts: 3,515 Joined: 2020 | Sorry no as this would have a large performance impact on this call. You can of course make a second call to lookup the team details though which has all the artwork. | ||

I was trying to avoid doing that because if I wanted to display a full list of events I would need two extra calls for each one of them. Thanks anyways | ||
