Transfermarkt player
A player's profile (birth date and place, nationalities, height, foot, positions, contract until and last renewal, agent, outfitter, current/previous/highest market value, image), club assignments with shirt numbers, full market value history (date, value, club, age) and transfer history (date, season, from and to club with competition, fee, market value at the time, loan/transfer type, pending moves) with totals. Pass include=injuries for the injury history.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
player_idrequired | integer | Transfermarkt player id (from /transfermarkt/v1/search or a profile URL; 433177 = Bukayo Saka). Example: 433177 |
include | injuries | injuries: also return injury_history (season, injury, from and until dates, days out, games missed, clubs affected; the latest injuries listed first). Costs one more upstream request. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/transfermarkt/v1/player?player_id=433177" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/transfermarkt/v1/player",
params={"player_id": "433177"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/transfermarkt/v1/player");
url.searchParams.set("player_id", "433177");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${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).
