NBL Rosetta Next Matches

Source: R/nbl_rosetta.R
nbl_rosetta_next_matches.Rd

Each team's next matches: opponent, venue and start time.

Endpoint: GET https://prod.rosetta.nbl.com.au/get/next/matches/for/teams/in/{org}/{season}

Usage

nbl_rosetta_next_matches(season, org = "wnbl")

Arguments

season

(integer required): Season END year (2026 = 2025-26). The runtime maps it to Rosetta's year: the START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99, the calendar year for NBL1 and the NBL / WNBL winter seasons up to 1998. END 1998 and 1999 both read Rosetta year 1998, which holds two seasons; the matches frame keeps the one asked for.

org

(character default "wnbl", the women's WNBL): Organisation: nbl (men's NBL), wnbl (women's) or nbl1 (the second tier, men's and women's conferences). One of "nbl", "wnbl", "nbl1".

Value

A wehoop_data tibble (one row per team and upcoming match):

col_nametypedescription
orgcharacterOrganisation the row belongs to: nbl, wnbl or nbl1. From the row's competition, else from the request.
rosetta_team_idcharacterRosetta's own id (UUID v4; v5 on NBL1) of the team; routes that take this entity accept it as well as the DataCore id.
team_namecharacterName of the team as Rosetta spells it, e.g. Perth Wildcats.
team_codecharacterTeam code, e.g. PER (the {team_code} path value)
divisioncharacterUnobserved in samples (null in every capture); type and meaning unverified.
conferencecharacterUnobserved in samples (null in every capture); type and meaning unverified.
match_slugcharacterURL slug of the upcoming match, e.g. sydney-kings-v-nz-breakers-men-14-10-2026.
match_titlecharacterTitle of the upcoming match, e.g. Sydney Kings v NZ Breakers men 14-10-2026.
start_time_datetimecharacterStart of the upcoming match, UTC, ISO 8601 text without an offset.
is_homelogicalTrue when the row's team is the home team of the upcoming match.
opponent_namecharacterName of the opponent in the upcoming match.
venuecharacterName of the venue (arena) of the upcoming match.
match_idcharacterDataCore fixture id of the match (UUID v1): the {match_id} route key and fixtureId in play-by-play. Join on it.
rosetta_match_idcharacterRosetta's match RECORD id (UUID v4) as carried by box-score and play-by-play rows; no route accepts it. Join on match_id.
rosetta_opponent_idcharacterRosetta's own id (UUID v4; v5 on NBL1) of the opponent; routes that take this entity accept it as well as the DataCore id.
season_end_yearintegersdv season key: the END year of the season (2026 = 2025-26), derived from season_year (a START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99, a calendar year for NBL1 and the 1979-1997 winter seasons; year 1998 is split on the start date). Where the body carries no year it is the season asked for.

Columns the body adds beyond these follow, in body order (sdv-py keeps them too).

Details

  • Unofficial: the JSON proxy behind nbl.com.au (not an API the NBL documents or supports). The terms of use were not reviewed; payloads are not redistributed as release assets.

  • Gated by a referer, not a key: every request carries Origin / Referer set to nbl.com.au (the runtime sends them); without them the host answers 403 MISSING_API_KEY, which is raised as wehoop_asset_fetch.

  • Fills a hole in ESPN: ESPN's nbl feed has box scores but no plays for the 2025-26 NBL season (the stats provider changed from Genius Sports to Sportradar DataCore that year). nbl_rosetta_match_pbp has the full event log with shot x/y for 2025-26 and, in the same shape, back to 2011-12 (WNBL about 2014-15). Matches from 1979 have box scores only.

  • One host serves three organisations; pass org='nbl' (default), 'wnbl' or 'nbl1'. NBL1 is the second tier (men's and women's conferences, calendar-year seasons).

  • Season = the END year (2026 = 2025-26) everywhere. Rosetta's own year is the START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99 and a calendar year for NBL1 and the 1979-1997 winter seasons; the runtime maps it. Year 1998 holds two seasons (calendar 1998 and 1998-99).

  • Ids: <entity>id columns are DataCore ids (UUID v1; join on them), rosetta<entity>_id Rosetta's own. match_id is the DataCore fixture id every match route is keyed on.

  • Unknown ids, orgs and types answer 200 with no rows (wehoop_no_data). Rosetta caches a body per path and serves it whatever the query string, so a page cut by someone else's limit is refused (wehoop_asset_fetch); retry after the cache entry expires.

Errors: wehoop_no_data when Rosetta answers 404 or no rows (an unknown match, team, player or season id, an org or season type with nothing, or no season in progress); wehoop_asset_fetch for the 403 gate body, a stub or error envelope, a page cut by Rosetta's path cache, a body for another org, season or entity than the one asked for, or any other failed fetch; wehoop_bad_request for an unknown org / season_type, a malformed id, or HTTP 400 / 422.
