Find Broadcasts by County Place ID
For this example we want to find all broadcasts televised in two counties in California during November 2020.
The location.place_id
parameter allows us to filter live sports events by their broadcast locations. For the counties in our example, we will use location.place_id=5368381,5391832
, which are the respective Place IDs for Los Angeles County and San Diego County in California.
These Place IDs were found using the Places API. We provide a CSV file of broadcast counties to download, to make it easier to discover the place_id
for all counties and states in the US.
We can also use the start.*
parameters to filter broadcasts by time. For the time range in our example, we will use start.gte=2020-11-01
and start.lte=2020-11-30
. Using start.tz=America/Los_Angeles
will treat the parameter’s start dates and times in the America/Los_Angeles time zone, otherwise the parameter dates and times will be treated as UTC.
A snippet of the results are shown below:
In this example, the Broadcasts API found 501 broadcasts. The snippet shows one of the broadcasts: an NFL game where 56,6891 people will watch the broadcast.
