Every played game of one LKL season (all pages of the site's results list, merged), newest first.
Endpoint: GET https://lkl.lt/loadResults
Value
A hoopR_data tibble. One row per played game, in the site's order (newest first). season_end_year is the
END year of the season (2026 = 2025-26) and season_id the site's opaque results-season id (from 2016-17 it is the
Genius LiveStats competition id). Teams are given by slug, code and name only (no team id); map a slug to team_id
with lkl_game_info. time is the Lithuanian local tip-off HH:MM. winner_highlighted is the side whose score
the page shows in bold. Played games only; the unplayed schedule is not wrapped. A record without games gives a
zero-row tibble.
Every column below is always present (a zero-row tibble keeps them and their types); an answer
with nothing in it raises hoopR_no_data, as in sportsdataverse-py.
| col_name | type | description |
| season_id | integer | Results season id (key space: lkl.lt championships; LKL 2026-27 = 49436). From 2016-17 it is the Genius LiveStats competition id (leagueId 110). |
| season_end_year | integer | Season END year (2026 = 2025-26), read from the season label 'YYYY-YYYY m. sezonas'. |
| game_id | integer | lkl.lt game id (key space: LKL games; the {gameId} of every route). Not sequential by season before 2018-19; not the Genius matchId. A frame parsed from a bare body has a null game_id when the body does not echo it (the runtime stamps it under _request). |
| date | Date | Game date from the site's Lithuanian day header; checked to fall in the season (Aug 1 - Jul 31). |
| weekday | character | Weekday of the header, translated to English ('sestadienis' -> 'Saturday'). |
| time | character | Tip-off 'HH:MM', Europe/Vilnius. |
| arena | character | Arena name ('Arena dar nezinoma' = arena not yet known, on some 2007-08 games). |
| city | character | City, from 'Arena , City'; null when the venue line has no city (2007-08 'Arena dar nezinoma'). |
| home_slug | character | Home team: Team slug (key space: lkl.lt clubs; the {slug} of https://lkl.lt/komandos/{slug}; one per club, stable across renamings: 'rytas' for Lietuvos Rytas / Rytas). The results and standings rows carry only this; the game page teams_info gives slug + id. |
| home_code | character | Home three-letter team code ('LIE'). |
| home_name | character | Home team name as printed (the logo alt text; the CURRENT club name even on old games: 2007-08 'Rytas'). |
| home_score | integer | Home team points in the game (the final score). |
| away_slug | character | Away team: Team slug (key space: lkl.lt clubs; the {slug} of https://lkl.lt/komandos/{slug}; one per club, stable across renamings: 'rytas' for Lietuvos Rytas / Rytas). The results and standings rows carry only this; the game page teams_info gives slug + id. |
| away_code | character | Away three-letter team code. |
| away_name | character | Away team name as printed. |
| away_score | integer | Away team points in the game (the final score). |
| winner_highlighted | character | Which side's score the page sets in bold: home or away (the winner). |
Details
Unofficial and unsupported: these are the routes lkl.lt's own game page calls (found in its front-end bundle) and its server-rendered pages. The site's robots.txt allows everything and sets no crawl-delay; the runtime still spaces requests at least 1 s apart. The site's terms were not reviewed; check them before you republish the data.
Coverage: game wrappers serve FINISHED games only (an unfinished game raises hoopR_asset_fetch). The box score,
summary, score line, statistics and leaders answer for every season from 1993-94 (before 2024-25 the scoring splits
and lead statistics are 0). Play-by-play and shots exist from 2024-25 only; an earlier finished game raises
hoopR_no_data. From 2016-17 the results season id is also the Genius LiveStats competition id (see the genius
family) which holds play-by-play for older games; lkl.lt game, team and player ids are lkl.lt's own and do not join
Genius ids. The King Mindaugas Cup shares the routes but is not wrapped. Text fields are Lithuanian.
Errors: hoopR_no_data when lkl.lt has nothing for the request (HTTP 404, an unknown game or standings season, a
season the site's selects do not list, a season without played games, a finished game before 2024-25 asked for
play-by-play or shots); hoopR_bad_request for a game id or season that is not an integer, or HTTP 400 / 422;
hoopR_asset_fetch when the fetch failed or the answer is not the one asked for (an unfinished game, a body or page
for another game or season, an error or changed body, a truncated results list). All inherit hoopR_error. Dates
and times are Lithuanian local (Europe/Vilnius) as the site prints them.
