Player box score of a finished game: minutes, shooting, rebounds, assists and the efficiency formulas.
Endpoint: GET https://fibalivestats.dcd.shared.geniussports.com/data/{match_id}/data.json
Rows keyed by (tno, pno), both in-game numbers; pno is not the shirt number and the feed has no global player id (join across games on name, team code and shirt_number). Percentages are numeric 0-100; minutes is the printed mm:ss and seconds_played its seconds.
Arguments
- match_id
Genius match id (
match_idofgenius_schedule(),genius_widget_games()orgenius_competition_games()), e.g. 2902690.- return_parsed
Parse into a tibble (default
TRUE);FALSEreturns the parsed body or page record (a list):data.jsonas served plus_request(the ids asked for), or the sdv-internal-refs capture shape of a page.
Value
A wehoop_data tibble (a zero-row tibble with these columns when Genius answers
an empty valid page), or the raw list when return_parsed = FALSE:
| col_name | type | description |
| match_id | integer | Genius match id of the game. data.json does not carry it: it is the match_id asked for, stamped by the runtime (the global match sequence shared by every Genius customer). |
| tno | integer | Team number within this game: 1 = the team listed first (home on the hosted schedule and widget), 2 = the other, 0 = no team. In-game only: not a team id. |
| pno | integer | Player number within this game, the key of the team's player map; 0 = no player. In-game only: not a person id and not the shirt number. |
| name | character | Display name ('T. Nichols') |
| first_name | character | Given name in the competition's own script and spelling (Greek, Hebrew, Czech, ... as entered) |

| international_first_name | character | Given name in Latin script |
| international_family_name | character | Family name in Latin script (often upper case) |
| scoreboard_name | character | Short display name ('T. Nichols'), in the local script when the org enters one |
| shirt_number | character | Shirt number as a string ('0' and '00' differ) |

| seconds_played | integer | Seconds played parsed from the printed mm:ss text as minutes * 60 + seconds (so '224:60' gives 13500); null when the feed sent an integer, whose unit is unknown. |
| field_goals_made | integer | Field goals the player made in the game (two- and three-pointers together; a count). |
| field_goals_attempted | integer | Field goals the player attempted in the game (two- and three-pointers together; a count). |

In samples eff_1/eff_6/eff_7 often agree (an index-rating style total), eff_3/eff_4 are decimals. Unverified: do not treat any as PIR/EFF without checking against a league site. Absent in the 2014-15 era sample (WBBL 12248), which carries eff_1..eff_6 on players and no team tot_eff_* |
Details
Access. The Genius hosts publish no robots.txt and no terms. CloudFront refuses
datacenter IPs on the LiveStats and hosted hosts: from a server set
options(wehoop.proxy = ...) or the GENIUS_PROXY environment variable to an http(s)
proxy URL (never printed or logged). Requests are spaced at least one second apart
per host; keep crawls slow and incremental. Some league sites (the NZ NBL) forbid AI
crawlers in their own robots.txt, which does not cover these hosts. Unofficial use of a
public source: payloads are not redistributed as release assets.
Org and season. Every competition is an ORG code plus a competition id
(comp_id): genius_competitions() lists an org's competitions with the sdv END-year
season (a START-year org lists 2025-26 as season 2026), genius_match_competition()
maps a game to its competition, and data.json itself names no date, competition or
season. The hosted ORG can differ from the LiveStats ORG of /u/ (NZNBL vs NZN). Match
ids are one global sequence across every Genius customer. data.json carries no global
team or player id: tno (1 or 2) and pno are in-game numbers; only finished games
are read.
Errors (classed conditions, all inheriting wehoop_error): wehoop_no_data when
Genius has nothing for the request (HTTP 404, the S3 AccessDenied 403, an empty 200
from the hosted host, an empty recent-games window, a schedule or widget with no
matches); wehoop_bad_request for HTTP 400 / 422 or a URL that is not a Genius route
(e.g. a non-numeric id); wehoop_asset_fetch when the answer is unknown: the CloudFront
"Request blocked" 403, a rate limit or 5xx, the intermittent HTTP 500 "A website error
has occurred" page (transient = TRUE: retry later), a dead connection, an error
envelope, a cut-off page, an unfinished game, or a body for another match, competition
or ORG.
