Details
FIBA's terms restrict this source. The GDAP developer-portal terms limit API use to 'Authorized Users' (federations, organisers, FIBA partners) and say any broader use 'is not authorised'; the fiba.basketball terms say no portion of the site may be duplicated, redistributed or manipulated. The package owner reviewed both clauses on 2026-10-12, accepted them and approved the full intake, published data releases included. Users who are not themselves authorised by FIBA should check the terms before using the wrappers.
The GDAP subscription key is public (fiba.basketball ships it in every page); the runtime reads it from the live page at run time and never logs it. Officials' contact details and coaches' and officials' dates of birth are dropped from every body.
Id key spaces: competition_id is one per edition (2023 World Cup = 208182) and game_id is global across
competitions (the <gameId> of a game-page URL). team_id is per team per competition (Germany is 279569 at
the 2023 World Cup and 281545 at Paris 2024), while organisation_id is the stable federation or club (64 =
Germany, every year); the game page's T_<id> and the play-by-play oId are organisation ids, not team ids.
The wrapper takes the game id and its competition (comp) and builds the real page URL from GDAP (the competition's marketing name gives the history slug, its schedule gives the two team codes; a competition with an event page is tried at its event URL when the archive URL answers the not-found shell, and the Champions League host last).
Box scores start about 2006; play-by-play with shot x/y about 2012 (OVR events) and 2017-18 (FLS club
competitions). A game with no box score raises wehoop_no_data; a game still live raises wehoop_asset_fetch.
The page request sends a browser User-Agent (sdv-py answers fiba.basketball's HTTP 403 to plain clients with
Chrome TLS; libcurl with a browser User-Agent was served on 2026-10-18).
Shot x/y are image pixels with an unverified scale.
Errors are classed conditions (all inherit wehoop_error): wehoop_no_data when FIBA has nothing (HTTP 404,
or GDAP answers {} / [] for an unknown id, a game page with no box score, a listed game whose teams are
not drawn yet); wehoop_bad_request for HTTP 400 / 422 or a malformed id, season or date; wehoop_asset_fetch
for any other failed fetch or an answer that is not about the request (an error envelope, HTTP 401 after a
key refresh, HTTP 500, a body for another game, competition, team, player, federation, family or season, a
game of another competition than comp, the HTTP 200 not-found shell of a wrong game page, a live game).
Seasons are FIBA's own key, which equals the sdv key: the END year for club competitions, the event year for
national-team events, the target tournament year for qualifiers.
