Custom API Configurations

Custom API Configurations allow you to set up APIs for teams that play in leagues that are not natively supported by the Team Tracker integration. This is particularly useful for soccer, where ESPN has APIs that support over 100 international leagues.

Set league_idto XXX to indicate you are setting up a Custom API Configuration. You can set up a Custom API Configuration with the API or YAML.

The instructions below give more information on how to set up Custom API Configuration.

Determining the correct values for sport_path and league_path when setting up custom API configurations:

Although it may be outdated, the simplest way to determine valid values for sport_path and league_path to is to:

1. Visit the ESPN API Explorer page.
2. Click on the Score and Schedules API section to expand it.
3. Select the desired sportName from the first drop down. Use this value in all lower case as your sport_path.
4. Select the desired leagueName from the second drop down. Use this value in all lower case as your league_path.
