Additional informations

I have two questions regarding additional data: Is it possible to add information about the referee's name and country of origin for live matches? I know that football-data.org already provides such data.Is there a way to include information about the current head coach of a club? Right now, we can fetch club details and the squad list, but the information about who is managing the team is missing. Thanks in advance!

Resolution: The API already exposes referee, home_coach, and away_coach fields on GET /api/events/. These were already in the serializer but not documented. Added them to the docs table under Match Officials.

Hi Artonis,

Thanks for the suggestions!

1. Referee data — We don't currently include referee info in the API responses, but it's something we can look into adding. We'll put it on the roadmap.

2. Head coach — Same situation, we don't have manager/coach data at the moment. It's a good idea though and we'll consider it for a future update.

Both are noted and we'll update this ticket when either becomes available.

Hi Artonis!

Thanks for the follow-up on these two suggestions — and glad to see your previous tickets got sorted out!

Both referee data and head coach/manager info are now on our roadmap. Here's a quick status update:

1. Referee data — We're exploring adding referee name and nationality to match responses (both live and finished). No ETA yet, but it's being considered.

2. Head coach — We'd likely surface this within the /teams/ endpoint as an additional field alongside the squad list. Also under consideration.

We'll update you here once either of these moves forward. In the meantime, there's no workaround available directly through our API for these fields.

Appreciate the suggestions — they help us prioritize what matters most to users! 🙌

This has been implemented! The referee, home_coach, and away_coach fields are now available on GET /api/events/ and documented in the API docs. Thank you for your feedback!
