Flashscore API endpoint
Flashscore Entity News API
Returns the article ids of Flashscore's own news layout for one entity: the featured article plus the 25 most recent ones, grouped in the sections Flashscore shows. The layout has no pagination. Resolve the ids with flashscore-news-article (metadata) or flashscore-news-article-body (full text). Teams and players share one layout type. A tournament is a tournament template id (the competition id in event lists); a sport is one of the SPORT entity ids listed by flashscore-news-categories. An id with no news layout returns not found.

How this endpoint behaves
Returns the article ids in Flashscore's own news layout for one entity, as shown on the entity's News tab: the featured article plus the 25 most recent ones, grouped in the sections Flashscore shows. The layout has no pagination parameters. Resolve the ids with /api/v1/flashscore/news-article (metadata) or /api/v1/flashscore/news-article-body (full text). The editorial sections of the News home are covered by /api/v1/flashscore/news instead, and publisher headlines about a team or player by /api/v1/flashscore/team-news and /api/v1/flashscore/player-news.
Query parameters:

Forteamandplayera team or player id; fortournamenta tournament template id (theidof thecompetitionblock in team, player and score feeds, for exampledYlOSQODfor the Premier League); forsportone of the SPORT entity ids listed by/api/v1/flashscore/news-categories(entity_typeSPORT):football=SW9D1eZo,tennis=Mg9H0Flh,darts=naYhNOaA,snooker=4K05MrFG,golf=EkWXj6U9,road-cycling=8nQ2VTTL,badminton=txYPhSac,handball=EcZwBi3N,hockey=IL2QbgJ4,basketball=zcDLaZ3b,cricket=QTNHA4p4,rugby-union=SrC4LDIT,athletics=0QIlt8pi,baseball=8bP2bXmH,rugby-league=f3GcHO7j,motorsport=nypUMTq3,aussie-rules=GCHgI4hp.
Invalid type values and sport ids outside that list return 400 before any upstream request. An id with no news layout, or an id used with the wrong type, returns 404.
Response fields: type, id, entity (entity_id, entity_type PARTICIPANT, TOURNAMENT_TEMPLATE or SPORT, label, slug), title (the page title), article_count (distinct article ids) and sections. Each section has title, section_type (MOST_RECENT, or TOPPED for sections Flashscore pins by hand, which can be empty), article_count and article_ids. Football, basketball and other sport layouts also list pinned sections such as Football Tracker; a tournament or team layout usually has a one-article lead section and a More ... News section with 25 articles.
