What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you reliably query ESPN’s undocumented public APIs to get structured sports data without guesswork, saving time spent trial-and-error over endpoints, slugs, and response formats.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Endpoint discovery across ESPN domains: Supports Site API, Site API v2/v3, Core API v2/v3, CDN, and Now for the right data source depending on the task.
  • Correct sport/league slug usage: Uses a comprehensive league-slug reference (including soccer dot-slugs and rugby numeric IDs) to build URLs that work.
  • Response-shape guidance + gotchas: Provides annotated schema examples and common pitfalls (standings path difference, CDN xhr=1, $ref patterns, date formatting, pagination limits, and rate-limit handling).
  • Fast operational access via helpers: Includes Python and bash CLI fetch scripts to pull common resources like scoreboards, standings, rosters, game summaries, athlete stats, injuries, odds, CDN game packages, and news.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: "Get the NBA standings for the 2025 season using the correct ESPN standings endpoint and return the standings entries."
