Volleyball point-by-point data guide

Point by point

Every rally of every set in the order played: the score after it, who won it and who served. Enough for side-out and break-point rates, runs and clutch points.

What it covers

For each set, every rally in the order it was played: the score after it, the side that won it and the side that served it. From that come side-out and break-point rates, runs, momentum swings and clutch points. Rallies are on every paid plan.

The endpoints

Every planEvery paid planLive and CompleteArchive and CompleteComplete

Endpoint	What it returns
GET /v1/matches/{id}/points	Every rally of every set: the score after it, who won it and who served
GET /v1/export/points	Every rally of every match between two days in one call (up to 14 days)

How the records link

Rallies hang off a match by its id; detail on the match says whether it has them. Sets are numbered as in sets on the match.

Every rally of a match

One call per match, all sets at once.
