V2 API changes |

 zag  Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Version 2 of the API has been in testing for a few months now and totally free to all. I can confirm that the free version of V2 will end this week before the big soccer leagues and NFL start. There will be a single end point and no API key in the URL any more. The API key will be authenticated using the HTTP header variable 'X_API_KEY'. I'll post full instructions tomorrow. Just wanted to give the heads up if anyone is already using it in production. NOTE: There are no changes to V1 api | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | The endpoint for all Patreon supporters will be: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v2/json And use the Http header "X_API_KEY" with your API key as the text. You can test in postman or HTTPie quite easily but no longer using a web browser.  Change 'xxxxxx' to your API key. | ||

Posts: 346 Joined: 2020 | Just to jump on the back of the earlier I thread I had, it seems like something is still not playing ball server side in regard to CORS. This has been fine until the new V2 endpoints, as a browser (e.g. Chrome) will treat a request with no custom headers as a "simple request". Once headers are added, this then becomes a "complex request" and a preflight request will be made to the server to check whether its allowed to make this request. All my requests from my webapp are getting CORS blocked after adding the header. It seems there may need to be some work on the server side to accept requests from origins other than internal. This works fine using postman/curl etc as these don't have web security layers built in unlike browsers.

 Posts: 1 Joined: 2024 | I use V2 using header(X_API_KEY) to call API but only get response from API: Ex: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v2/json/schedual/next/league/4393 Response: { "Message": "Incorrect API key" } Looking forward to hearing from you soon. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | URL API keys removed from V2 API now. You can only use the main URL with the key in the header. Checking CORS today, but I thought it was already enabled... | ||

Posts: 42 Joined: 2023 | Had success at the weekend using the new v2 livescores API and my new API Key, BUT tonight I noticed that my livescores were broken again. Debug found it to be that my API-KEY had changed! Lucky again, that I don't have to make a new app release in order to fix this, and can do it via AWS, but I need to ensure that this isn't going to unexpectedly change again. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Yes its all complete now. Had to make some changes to API keys for a few users, seems you were the unlucky one sorry! A reminder that V2 is still in beta development phase. But hopefully its nailed down now. smathers | ||

Posts: 1 Joined: 2023 | Hi, I'm a Patreon and I'm trying to migrate to the new X_API_KEY header but i'm getting "Incorrect API key" and my profile doesn't show my API key anymore. I've tried on Postman and within code with both GET & POST but get the same error. Seems like my API key has been deleted? Thanks in advance Tom | ||

Thanks in advance Tom Either pm me on discord or email at [email protected], should be an easy fix if you are a current patreon subscriber. | ||

zag Posts: 3,527 Joined: 2020 | Just a small update to say that the /schedual endpoint has been renamed to /schedule And the header has been renamed from 'X_API_KEY' to 'X-API-KEY' Both should still work, but eventually the old mis-spelling 'schedual' will be removed. X-API-KEY is now recommended, although the underscore way will also work indefinitely. All docs and examples updated. Thanks all again for pointing out these silly errors. V2 going from alpha to beta soon  | ||
