Lineups

Would there be any possibility of adding Lineups for specific events to the Db? I noticed that the live scores api contains lineups, but it would be nice to receive the lineups for past events in the event lookup api.

Sure I will have a look at it, the data is probably somewhere, it just needs to be exposed.

Initial implementation here:

Let me know if you find any errors. Current it matches on the players name so some may not be found such as Pascal Gross in this example.

Pascal Gross is already on the DB, but it's witten correctly: Pascal Groß (https://www.thesportsdb.com/player/34161400)
Maybe this kind of issues can be solved issuing an "alternate name" for players.

In the data received to the db are player shirt numbers transferred over?

I appreciate they’re present on individual player lookups but wondered if there was any data missing, saving me the time of making multiple api calls 😂

The shirt number doesnt exist as far as I can see in our data other than on the against the player.

Any possibility that we would be able to upload lineups ourselves on the website?

Probably not to be honest as I would like to maintain the structure of the data and writing the interface to keep that clean would be classed as an "interesting challenge"

The importer from XML soccer should run once a day on any events but I can't really speed that up sadly due to their rate limiter.

All the best
