Playoff bracket of a season: one row per series (quarter-finals, semi-finals, finals).
Endpoint: GET https://api.basketball-bundesliga.de/seasons/{season}/playoff-tree (DBBL: the same route on
https://api-1.dbbl.scb.world).
Arguments
- season
(required) Season END year (2026 = 2025-26, the sdv key). Sent to the API as its START-year seasonId (season - 1).
- league
(default
"bbl") League:bbl(men, easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga, api.basketball-bundesliga.de) ordbbl(women, Toyota Damen-Basketball-Bundesliga, api-1.dbbl.scb.world). The two share one API; game ids overlap, so a game is (league, game_id).
