Player xG career

A player's numbers season by season (team, games, minutes, goals, npg, assists, shots, key passes, xG, npxG, xA, xGChain, xGBuildup, cards), the same split by position, situation, shot zone and shot type, every match played with its stats, the position averages Understat compares with, and every shot of the career with its xG and pitch position (include_shots=false leaves the shots out).

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

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

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/understat/v1/player?id=8260" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/understat/v1/player",
    params={"id": "8260"},
    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/understat/v1/player");
url.searchParams.set("id", "8260");

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).
