Get Featured Football Competitions API

Request the popular-league selection as a candidate seed for first-run competition discovery. This GET has no operation parameters. The response and ordering have not been verified. Inspect usable competition identities before rendering shortcuts, and describe the result as a returned selection rather than an independently measured global popularity ranking or a complete league catalogue.

API Features

Parameter-free featured selection Request competition-discovery candidates without knowing a league ID.

Competition shortcut evaluation Validate returned identities before offering first-run navigation links.

Popularity methodology caution Returned order is not evidence of audience size, search volume or global popularity.

Selection-versus-directory distinction A featured set must remain separate from a completeness claim about available competitions.

Frequently asked questions

Does the featured-league request need search text?

No operation parameters are declared. Validate returned competition IDs before creating shortcuts.

Does returned order measure global league popularity?

There is no such evidence. Response order and methodology are unconfirmed, so do not present it as audience or search-volume rankings.

Is an unlisted competition unsupported?

That cannot be concluded. A featured selection is not a complete directory; check league search and other discovery sources, then validate data coverage.
