Volleyball API / matches

Get match by ID

GET https://volleyball.highlightly.net/matches/{id} Volleyball API
GET https://sports.highlightly.net/volleyball/matches/{id} All Sports API

Retrieve detailed information for one match.

Detail
Everything on the list route, plus three blocks

The match id comes from matches.

This route returns everything the list route does, and adds venue, forecast and predictions.

Venue and forecast

venue names the city, the venue name, the country and its capacity, which is a string. forecast carries a status such as cloudy and a temperature already formatted with its unit, as in 11.97°C.

Predictions

predictions splits into prematch and live, and each is a list rather than a single entry.

Every prediction carries its type, the modelType that produced it, a generatedAt timestamp, a readable description and the probabilities behind it. Those are percentage strings in home and away, plus an optional draw.
