Endpoint Playground

Try the SofaScore search by entity type API

Searches SofaScore for one entity type and returns up to 20 ranked results per page: `events` (matches), `teams`, `players` (with team and position), `managers`, `referees`, `venues` (with city and capacity) and `unique_tournaments` (competitions with category). Page with the zero-based `page`; an empty page means there are no further results. The optional `sport` filter (any key listed by sofascore/sports, such as `football`, `basketball`, `tennis` or `mma`) narrows `teams`, `players`, `managers` and `unique_tournaments`, and is rejected for `events`, `referees` and `venues`, which ignore it. Use the returned ids with the matching endpoints (team, player, manager, venue, tournament-seasons, event).

SofaScore search by entity type

Response behavior

- Every result has `type` (`event`, `team`, `player`, `manager`, `referee`, `venue` or `unique_tournament`), `id`, `name`, `slug` and `score`, SofaScore's relevance score (results are ordered by it). Other fields are set only for the types that have them: - team: `short_name`, `name_code`, `sport`, `country`, `gender`, `national`, `user_count`. - player: `short_name`, `position`, `jersey_number`, `team`, `country`, `retired`, `deceased`. - manager: `sport`, `country`, `deceased`. referee: `sport`, `country`. - venue: `city`, `country`, `capacity`. - unique_tournament: `category_id`, `category_name`, `sport`, `gender`. - event: `event`, the same match summary the event lists use (teams, status, score, tournament, start time), and `sport`. - There is no total or next-page flag: a full page holds up to 20 results, and an empty `results` list means there are no matches or the page is past the last one (a page far past the end returns an empty list, not an error). A query that matches nothing is a normal 200. - `type` is validated here. SofaScore does not reject an unknown search path (it answered 200 with unrelated players), so an unsupported `type` returns 400. `sport` is validated for the same reason, because SofaScore ignores an unknown sport and returns unfiltered results. - `sport` filters `teams`, `players`, `managers` and `unique_tournaments` upstream (for example `sport=futsal` returns only futsal clubs). SofaScore ignores it for `events`, `referees` and `venues`, so passing it for those types returns 400 rather than looking like a filter. - A negative `page` and an empty `q` are rejected with 400 before any upstream request. Example response (shortened): ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "type": "players", "query": "haaland", "sport": "football", "page": 0, "count": 10, "source_url": "https://api.sofascore.com/api/v1/search/players?q=haaland&sport=football", "fetched_at": "2026-10-07T14:00:00Z", "results": [ { "type": "player", "id": 839956, "name": "Erling Haaland", "slug": "erling-haaland", "score": 127450.195, "short_name": "E.
