Get BBL / DBBL Team Profile

Club profile: names, code, home page, ticket shop, year joined and honours.

Endpoint: GET https://api.basketball-bundesliga.de/teams/{team_id} (DBBL: the same route on https://api-1.dbbl.scb.world).

Usage

scb_team(team_id, league = "dbbl")

Arguments

team_id: (required) Club id (team_id in scb_season_teams), e.g. 413 (ALBA BERLIN).
league: (default "dbbl", the women's DBBL) League: bbl (men, easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga, api.basketball-bundesliga.de) or dbbl (women, Toyota Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga, api-1.dbbl.scb.world). The two share one API; game ids overlap, so a game is (league, game_id).

Value

A wehoop_data tibble: Club profile: names, code, home page, ticket shop, year joined and honours. An empty valid answer raises wehoop_no_data; the columns are always these, in this order (sdv-py scb_team):

col_name	type	description
league	character	League the row belongs to: `bbl` (men) or `dbbl` (women); BBL and DBBL game ids overlap, so a game is (league, game_id).
team_id	character	Club id, a string; equal to `season_team_id` in every sample. Joins to `scb_team` and `scb_season_teams`.
tlc	character	Three-letter club code.
name_full	character	Full club name as the API lists it today.
name_short	character	Short name (often the city); null on DBBL.
mascot	character	Club mascot name (null when none).
homepage_url	character	Club website address as sent (it can lack the scheme).
ticket_url	character	Ticket shop URL.
year_joined_bbl	integer	Year the club joined the league.
order_id	integer	Display order of the club on the site; null on some clubs.
best_achievements	character	Honours, German free text (Deutscher Meister = German champion, Pokalsieger = cup winner, Vizepokalsieger = cup runner-up).

Details

Unofficial use of a public source: these wrappers read the front-end API of the German Bundesliga sites (easycredit-bbl.de, toyota-dbbl.de), run by SCB; payloads are not redistributed as release assets.
Legal notice: the BBL Impressum forbids storing BBL content (Inhalte) in an information system without BBL's written permission. That is a copyright term, not a robots rule (the API host has no robots.txt). The owner reviewed it and accepted the intake (2026-10-12 ruling); keep requests slow (the runtime waits at least 1 s per host) and raise any published data release with the owner. The DBBL host is the same operator and API; its site notice was not separately reviewed.
Both hosts need two headers: a constant x-api-key and an x-api-secret that rotates. The runtime derives the secret on first use from the key embedded in an easycredit-bbl.de page (reversed, : turned into -) and never logs or returns it. The derivation was reverse-engineered from observed requests and responses and has not been checked against the site's own front-end code; if the site changes how it signs requests, every call fails with wehoop_asset_fetch.
Id key spaces: seasonId is the START year (2025 = 2025-26), so a wrapper's END-year season is sent as season - 1. Teams are keyed by teamId (seasonTeamId equals it in every sample). seasonPlayerId is per player per season and per club (a player traded mid-season has two); realPlayerId is the person. playerId is ambiguous (the seasonPlayerId in box scores, records and /season-players; the person in /transfers). Game ids are strings.
Errors are classed conditions: wehoop_no_data (404, 204, a 400 "not a valid" id, no rows, a box score of a game not yet started), wehoop_bad_request (a bad argument, another 400 / 422) and wehoop_asset_fetch (a refused secret after one re-derive, any other non-2xx, an HTML / non-JSON / error-shaped body, a truncated page, a body for another game, season, club or league, a box score still in play), all inheriting wehoop_error. Wrappers raise; they never return an empty frame.
