The API provides a standardized way for developers to interact with the service and retrieve football highlights data. With this API, users can request highlights based on various parameters such as team, country, match, or specific timeframes. The specification defines the endpoints and their corresponding operations, such as retrieving a list of all available highlights, retrieving a specific highlight by its ID, filtering highlights based on specific criteria, and more. The API specification also includes detailed information about the data models used, such as the structure of a highlight object, including properties like title, description, teams involved, players featured, and video URLs. In addition to the basic functionality, the API specification may also include optional features such as pagination for retrieving large result sets, sorting and filtering options, and authentication mechanisms for secure access to the API.
