broadcast_status
Find broadcasts by broadcast status. Multiple values are accepted as a comma-separated list.
Possible values:
scheduled

Find broadcasts by their physical event’s category.
Possible values:

event.event_id
Find broadcasts by their physical event’s unique identifier. Multiple values are accepted as a comma-separated list. Events in the Broadcasts API have the same identifiers as those in the Events API
E.g. ?event.event_id=svbfg9xT4YSVUeeAKp
event.entity_id
Find broadcasts by their entity's unique identifier. Multiple values are accepted as a comma-separated list. Entities in the Broadcasts API have the same identifiers as those in the Events API.
This parameter can be used to filter broadcasts by team, e.g. ?event.entity_id=GduZL2z24phJQni4ktERGw to retrieve the Los Angeles Lakers broadcasts, or by venue, e.g. ?event.entity_id=qSpch2mYLDa4iygkMdMPYu to retrieve the broadcasts related to a physical game happening at the STAPLES center.
E.g. ?event.entity_id=GduZL2z24phJQni4ktERGw
event.label
Find broadcasts by their physical event’s labels. Multiple values are accepted as a comma-separated list.
Where multiple labels are provided, broadcasts which match any of the labels are returned.
Please note that all event labels are lowercase and that the search is case sensitive.
E.g. ?event.label=nfl,nba
first_seen
Find broadcasts by the time they were seen for the first time. Supported suffixes are:
gt: greater than.
gte: greater than or equal to.
lt: less than.
lte: less than or equal to.
tz: time zone of the first_seen times uses a TZ Database name. Default is UTC.
The format of first_seen times for this parameter is YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss
E.g. ?first_seen.gte=2020-11-30
limit
The maximum number of results to return per page.
The default limit is 10. The maximum limit is 500.
E.g. ?limit=50
location.place_id
Find broadcasts by their location's place_id. Multiple values are accepted as a comma-separated list.
Places in the Broadcasts API have the same identifiers as those in the Places API.
All broadcast location places are counties, but this parameter accepts other types of places in the hierarchy. See Places for different place types.
If the place_id of a county is specified, broadcasts in that county will be returned.
If the place_id of a state (region) is specified, broadcasts in all the counties within that state will be returned. US states have the place type region.E.g. If you specify location.place_id=5332921 (California), results will contain broadcasts for all counties in California.
For places below the county level, broadcasts in the county that the place belongs to will be returned. E.g. If you specify location.place_id=5327684 (Berkeley), results will contain broadcasts for Alameda County; Berkeley is located within Alameda County. Some places below county level do not belong to a county, in this case, you can try using the location.origin param.
A CSV file of broadcast counties is available. It contains the place_id and name of all counties and states in the US.
E.g. ?location.place_id=5391997,5128594,5379524,5129915
location.origin
Find broadcasts in the county for the provided geopoint (a latitude and longitude coordinate). The format of the geopoint is {latitude},{longitude}.
The Broadcasts API returns broadcasts at the county level. When you specify a geopoint using location.origin the API returns broadcasts for the county the specified geopoint is within.
If you specify a geopoint within Los Angeles County then broadcasts for Los Angeles County will be returned.
E.g. ?location.origin=40.730610,-73.935242
