Hudl Statsbomb data supports the internal processes and workflows at clubs and organisations around the world.
One of the major benefits of using our data is the ease at which it can fit into existing systems and infrastructures within data and analysis departments.
Our two main products are the raw event data and our advanced analytics platform. The event data allows for research, analysis, and modelling on a large-scale basis, whilst the analysis platform packages the data into a quickly digestible and visual format.
As an offshoot of the analysis platform, we offer an API that serves the aggregated data displayed therein, allowing its direct integration into the end user's software without the need to download a CSV and import manually. Crucially, this saves analysts time by producing a more efficient workflow -- one of our key aims with all our products.
Not only does this make the process much faster and automated, but it also allows the user to customise and manipulate the metrics as much as desired.
There are a total of four APIs as part of the overall Hudl Statsbomb Aggregated API:
Player Match - provides stats for all players in a given match. This match-by-match data makes it easy to perform post-match analysis with the most detailed and contextual event data available. We know some customers prefer to create their own bespoke match reports rather than use the ones provided in the platform; the API allows them to do that.
Player Season - serves per 90 aggregated data for all players in a league season. These are the same stats that are available in our league-player, squad, and scout pages.
Team Match - provides stats for teams on a per-match basis. As in the player version, this match-by-match data makes it easy to perform post-match analysis with the most detailed and contextual event data available, facilitating customised post-match and opposition scouting reports.
Team Season - supplies aggregated seasonal data for all teams in a league season. Containing the same metrics as those found in the Team Stats page, plus some new ones, these metrics allow the analysis of a team's performance in their relevant competition.
Hudl Statsbomb Director of Football James Yorke said: "The Hudl Statsbomb Aggregated API is a quality-of-life addition that makes our customer’s lives significantly easier, and allows for the interaction between the end-user and the analysis platform to be automated. This means the customer's analysis and reports can be updated at the click of a button, pulling Hudl Statsbomb data directly into their software and platforms to allow quick and easy analysis of their team or players performance."
Customers can access the API through the Data Hub, where documentation detailing the names and definitions of the metrics provided can also be found.
