List seasons

Basic data packageactivebetacoreAvailable (scoped)

Description

Returns all seasons, with incremental updates by timestamp.

1. First full sync: page through everything with the id parameter.
2. Afterwards: fetch what changed with the time parameter (suggested frequency: once a minute).

Access

Request: GET https://api.sports.csap.ai/api/v1/seasons
Auth: Header X-API-Key: <your key> (Authorization: Bearer <key> also works; ?key= is still accepted but discouraged, because the key ends up in URLs and logs)
External keys: Available (scoped)External keys can call it, but only data inside the open scope is returned.
Rate limits: 3000 per minute · 200000 per day · Set per key (rate_per_min and quota_daily returned by /api/v1/account are authoritative; the numbers above are a trial key's). Beyond them the answer is 429. In addition, heavy requests such as whole-table snapshots and statistics lists without a match id are processed 2 at a time for the whole platform; a request that cannot get a slot receives 429 with Retry-After. Responses do not carry X-RateLimit-* headers for now. See the general guide
