Every field-goal attempt of a finished game (2025-26 onward) with its court position.
Endpoint: GET https://miniappapi.tbf.org.tr/webapi-service/api/Match/shot-chart
Arguments
- match_id
Required. TBF game id (integer), e.g. 346279; match_id in
tbf_schedule(). One global sequence across leagues and seasons. Only a finished game is served.
Value
A wehoop_data tibble. One row per attempt. x and y are percentages of a horizontal full court.
Every column below is always present (a zero-row tibble keeps them and their types); an answer
with nothing in it raises wehoop_no_data, as in sdv-py.
| col_name | type | description |
| match_id | integer | TBF game id (key space: TBF games, ONE global sequence across leagues and seasons: 62552 in 2006-07, 346279 in 2026-27). The match_id argument of every game wrapper; the routes echo it as a string or null, the runtime stamps the integer asked for. |
| period | integer | Period number of the attempt: 1-4; overtime numbering is unverified. |
| period_type | integer | Period type code: 1 = regulation, 2 = overtime (from the app code; no overtime game in the samples). |
| side | character | Side of the shooting team (isHome). |
| shot_player_id | integer | Shooter id in the SHOT-CHART key space, which is NOT the TBF person id of the box score (Quentin Peterson = 2814324 here, 501076 as a TBF person): join shots to box rows on player_name + jersey_number + side. |
| player_name | character | Player name as TBF prints it for that route (title case, Turkish letters kept). |
| jersey_number | character | Shirt number as a string, so '0' and '00' stay distinct. |
| x | integer | Court x position: integer percent (0-100) of the LENGTH of a horizontal full court from the LEFT baseline (baskets near 5 and 95); teams change ends at half-time. Metres (x / 100 x 28) are an inference. |
| y | integer | Court y position: integer percent (0-100) of the court WIDTH from the BOTTOM sideline (baskets near 50), verified from the app's drawing code (top = 100 - y). Metres (y / 100 x 15) are an inference. |
| made | logical | True when the attempt was made (isSucceed). |
Details
Official TBF app API, unofficial for SportsDataverse: the backend of the Turkish Basketball Federation's mobile app (miniappapi.tbf.org.tr), which serves BSL, TBL, KBSL and the other TBF leagues. It needs no key; robots.txt answers 404 on the host, and the runtime spaces requests at least 1 s apart. SportsDataverse has not ruled on TBF's terms, so payloads are not redistributed as release assets. The vendor's origin hosts (nikayazilim.com) serve the same data without Cloudflare but are deliberately not used, redirects are never followed, and www.tbf.org.tr's interactive Turnstile is neither used nor automated.
Coverage: season and competition are parameters (bsl Basketbol Super Ligi, back to 1966-67 in the league
list; tbl second tier; kbsl women, both from 2015-16). Game wrappers serve FINISHED games only (an
unfinished game raises wehoop_asset_fetch). Box scores exist from 2006-07 (no starters flagged that
season); play-by-play and shots from 2025-26 only, an earlier finished game raises wehoop_no_data. Every
game carries a Genius LiveStats id (genius_id, joins the genius family) from 2018-19 on some seasons
and on every game of 2025-26 and later. Birth dates, contact details, photos and logos are dropped. Names
and category labels are Turkish; the column descriptions give the English gloss.
Errors: wehoop_no_data when TBF has nothing for the request (HTTP 404, an unknown game or player, a season
the league list lacks, an empty list, a finished game before 2025-26 asked for play-by-play or shots);
wehoop_bad_request for an invalid argument or HTTP 400 / 422; wehoop_asset_fetch when the fetch failed or
the answer is not the one asked for (an unfinished game, a body for another game, season, league or team,
an error envelope, a redirect, a partial page or a changed capped list). All inherit wehoop_error.
Timestamps are Turkey local time (Europe/Istanbul).
