How to obtain a player's player_id and company_id via API?

💻 Environment/Context

• API
• Teams & players

❓ Issue/Question

• How do I get a player's player_id and company_id using the ScorePlay public API, instead of looking them up manually in the platform?
• Is there ways of accessing a table of all our athletes and their access codes?
• The players request only returns around 100 players when there are a few hundred on the platform

👌 Resolution/Answer

• Set up the request
  • Send every request with your organization's API key in the X-ScorePlay-Api-Key header
    • How to get the API key? 
  • Use the base URL https://media.scoreplay.io/v1
• Find one player
  • Send GET https://media.scoreplay.io/v1/players?query={player_name}
  • Example: GET https://media.scoreplay.io/v1/players?query=bradley barcola
• Get the full list of players
  • Send GET https://media.scoreplay.io/v1/players without the query parameter
  • The response returns 100 players per page by default
  • Add the page parameter to get the next ones, e.g. ?page=2, then ?page=3, until the response comes back empty ([])
  • To change how many players come back per page, add the limit parameter, e.g. ?limit=50&page=2
• Read the IDs in the response
  • ID is the player_id
  • company_id is the company_id

🔖 Notes

• The request needs the API key header, so it doesn't work when pasted into a browser address bar. Use an API tool such as Postman
• To get only the players of one team, add the team_id parameter, e.g. ?team_id=3623
• Full parameter list: developer.scoreplay.io
