Get Football Match Highlight Information API

Request highlight information for a selected event and inspect whether usable post-match media metadata or links are available. Requires eventid. The highlights payload has not been verified, and this operation does not establish live streams, downloadable video or media rights. Inspect returned content, distinguish unavailable highlights from request failures, and verify usage permissions before embedding or caching any media.

Frequently asked questions

Which input is required for highlights?

Required eventid selects the fixture. Obtain it from the match list or match search before requesting highlight information.

Does the response contain a video file or media link?

The representation has not been demonstrated. Inspect actual content instead of promising direct video, a download URL or an embeddable format.

Can I use this endpoint to offer live football streams?

No live-stream capability is established. Highlight references also do not grant download, cache, embed or redistribution rights; verify permissions first.
