Groups / Clubs

What are Groups / Clubs?

Groups / Clubs are organisations that have teams. Teams who participate in broadcasts have a group / club associated to them. Information is stored on the Group / Club level, for example the home venue and team colors. Teams are not saved entities in the system, and are only specified per broadcast.

Site Structure

Groups / Clubs are part of the site structure, and will appear on the site under the “region” (siteItem) they have as a parent. See the example structure below, where Site is the top “region”.

CODE

Site / East / Stockholm / MyClub

In this example, MyClub would appear under Stockholm on the site, as well as any other clubs that have Stockholm as a parent.

How do I create them?

A simple POST or PATCH with only external ids using the /ext endpoints will create a group. Here is a CURL example:

CODE

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.livearenasports.com/group/ext' \
--header 'site-id: BACKOFFICE' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN-HERE>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "siteId": "SIF",
    "externalId": "56195",
    "name": "My Club",
    "shortName": "MCLB",
    "type": "CLUB",
    "logo": {
      "url": "https://example.com/logo.png"
    },
    "secondaryLogo": {
      "url": "https://example.com/logo2.png"
    }
}'

You can also optionally POST to our API using internal ids.
