Each team's season leaders before a game, by category.
One row per team, metric and rank, like acb_match_leaders but over the season so far; value is a total
or an average depending on the metric.
Endpoint: GET https://api2.acb.com/api/matchdata/Preview/season-leaders
Arguments
- match_id
(required) ACB match id (integer), one global sequence for every competition: legacy ids (seasons up to 2019-20) sit below about 20000 (12559 = the 2005-06 final); ids from 2020-21 start around 100000 (105401 = Barca 89-86 Valencia Basket, Liga 2026-27 round 3). A whole number; a whole double is accepted.
Value
A hoopR_data tibble, one row per record described above; the columns are always these, in this order
(sportsdataverse-py acb_season_leaders):
| col_name | type | description |
| match_id | integer | ACB match id (one global sequence for every competition; legacy ids are below about 20000 up to 2019-20, ids from 2020-21 start around 100000). Taken from the request when the body does not name the game. |
| edition_id | integer | Season id (editionId) = season START year - 1935 (91 = 2026-27). The wrappers take the END year, season. |
| season | integer | Season END year (2027 = 2026-27) = edition_id + 1936: the key the wrappers take. |
| team_side | character | Side of the game the team played: home or away (the feed lists the home team first). |
| team_id | integer | Season-team entry id: one club in one competition edition, NEW every season (Barca = 4467 in Liga 2026-27). Not the club: use club_id to follow a club across seasons. |
| club_id | integer | Stable ACB club id (2 = Barca, 9 = Real Madrid, 13 = Valencia Basket): the same across seasons and sponsor names, and the club_id request argument. |
| team | character | Team name as registered for that season (sponsor names change; the club id does not). |
| team_abbr | character | Three-letter team abbreviation (BAR, RMB, VBC). |
| metric | character | Leader category in snake_case (the API's key, e.g. rating, points, rebounds, assists). |
| rank | integer | Place in the category list, 1 = the leader, in the order the feed lists them. |
| value | double | The player's season value in the category before this game (a total or an average depending on the category). |
| player_id | integer | ACB licence number: the person id everywhere. A player's box-score player.id, his play-by-play and shot playerLicenseId and the playerLicenceId / playerLicense request params hold the same number (all 24 players of match 105401 match). 20209407 = Edy Tavares. Older licences start 2020..., recent ones 3000.... |
| player_name | character | Display (sporting) name ('Edy Tavares') |
| first_name | character | Legal first name(s) |
| last_name | character | Legal last name(s) |
| shirt_number | character | Shirt number, a string (” or null when unknown) |
| game_role | character | Position or staff role, in Spanish: Base (point guard), Escolta (shooting guard), Alero (small forward), Ala-pivot (power forward), Pivot (centre); Entrenador (head coach), Segundo Entrenador / Entrenador Ayudante (assistant coach). Null or ” in many rows |
