Get league by ID

GET https://handball.highlightly.net/leagues/{id} Handball API
GET https://sports.highlightly.net/handball/leagues/{id} All Sports API

Retrieve one league by its id.

Use this to check whether a league you have stored still exists, or whether its information has been updated since you fetched it.

The seasons list comes back with it, so this is also the most direct way to refresh the seasons available for a league you already track, before requesting standings.
