Volleyball API documentation
Every method is a simple GET or POST request to the same URL, with the method name and your API key as parameters. Responses are JSON with success: 1 and a result object or array.
Authentication
Pass your API key in the APIkey parameter of every request. You find it on your account page.
Parameters that accept keys (match_key, league_key, country_key, team_key) take one value or several, separated by commas: league_key=4,176.
Errors & limits
When a request fails the response has error: "1" and a list of messages with a code:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 201 | Required parameter missing (the param field tells which one) |
| 1004 | Wrong or missing API key |
| 1005 | The method is not included in your plan |
| 1006 | Your plan has expired: renew it from your account page |
| - | Daily request limit reached: upgrade your plan or wait until the next day |
Every plan has a daily number of requests. You can follow your consumption on the usage page.
