1 credit / call sports try it in the playground →

The current injury report for a league or one team: player, position, jersey, team, status (out, questionable, day-to-day ...), report date, injury type, location, side and detail, expected return date, fantasy status, the latest short and long news comment and its source. Filter by team_id or status.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

name	type	description
`league`required	string	League slug: nfl, college-football, nba, wnba, mens-college-basketball, womens-college-basketball, mlb, nhl, soccer competitions (eng.1 Premier League, esp.1 LaLiga, uefa.champions ...), f1, pga, atp, ufc. Other ESPN leagues work with `sport`. Example: `nfl`
`sport`	football \| basketball \| baseball \| hockey \| soccer \| racing \| golf \| tennis \| mma \| lacrosse \| volleyball \| rugby \| field-hockey \| water-polo \| australian-football \| rugby-league \| cricket \| boxing	Only needed for a league not listed under `league` (it is inferred for those).
`team_id`	string	Team id or abbreviation from `/espn/v1/teams` (22 or ari = Arizona Cardinals). Omit for every team in the league. Example: `ari`
`status`	string	Keep only players whose status contains this text, for example out, questionable, doubtful, day-to-day, injured-reserve. Example: `out`

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/espn/v1/injuries?league=nfl" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/espn/v1/injuries",
    params={"league": "nfl"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/espn/v1/injuries");
url.searchParams.set("league", "nfl");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
