Matches

Where a match is being broadcast

The channels carrying a match, official broadcast first and then by audience. **This is a live pointer, not a historical record.** The set is replaced in full on every refresh while a match is in progress, and it is emptied when the match ends — a channel URL stops resolving to this match once the broadcast is over, so a finished match returns an empty list rather than dead links. Do not store these rows as a match archive. Streams appear once a match is IN PROGRESS. A scheduled match that has not started returns an empty list even when a broadcast is already announced. `viewers` is the count at `observed_at`, not a live figure, and is `null` when the channel did not report one — which is not the same as zero. `platform` is one of `twitch`, `kick`, `youtube` or `other`; treat it as an open list. `embed_url` is the platform's embeddable player URL and is omitted when the channel has none. An unknown match id returns an empty list.

viewers is the count at observed_at, not a live figure, and is null when the channel did not report one — which is not the same as zero. platform is one of twitch, kick, youtube or other; treat it as an open list. embed_url is the platform's embeddable player URL and is omitted when the channel has none.

An unknown match id returns an empty list.

Authorization

AuthorizationBearer <token>

Primary auth (live). Authorization: Bearer <api-key> — the header takes precedence over the query fallback. The raw key is hashed (SHA-256, hex) and looked up in api.keys.key_hash; the raw value is never stored.

In: header

Path Parameters

game*string

Game slug. cs2 is the only populated title today; an un-onboarded game 404s cleanly.

id*string

Resource identifier — either a UUID or the resource's human-readable slug, scoped to {game}. /v1/cs2/teams/natus-vincere and /v1/cs2/teams/019f23d1-fb5c-7987-b522-47c3a5e72111 address the same row, so you can go straight from a slug you already have without first looking up its id.

Slugs work on teams, players and tournaments. Matches have no slug, so a match id must be a UUID. Either way, an identifier that resolves to nothing returns 404 not_found.
