Sportskeeda API endpoint
Calls Sportskeeda's anonymous frontend taxonomy search across categories, events, teams, players, wiki pages, and wiki tags. The upstream UI always searches all six types; the q phrase is sanitized and capped at 100 characters just like the site.
/sportskeeda/taxonomy-searchQuery parameters:
q (required): search phrase. Sportskeeda's frontend replaces its punctuation set with spaces and truncates the result to 100 characters; this endpoint follows the same behavior.The upstream request searches all six frontend taxonomy groups: category, event, team, player, wiki, and wiki_tag. The frontend fixes addTaxonomyDateFilter=true and isMultiWordSearch=true; these are implementation flags rather than user-selectable filters. The response taxonomy is open-ended: live phrases returned category, event, team, player, wiki, wiki_tag, post_tag, and data_subpage. Sportskeeda returns post_tag and game/simulator data_subpage records in addition to the six requested groups, and this endpoint passes through new response taxonomy names. path_slug is the host-free path accepted by slug-based Sportskeeda endpoints; the upstream slug can be only a final path segment.
Notable response behavior: a valid no-match query returns an empty results array. Upstream HTTP errors, malformed JSON, or records without a taxonomy, title, or Sportskeeda URL return an upstream error.
