Posted on July 05, 2020
Share the sample code using the interface call of iSports Api Sports Data www.isportsapi.com. This API endpoint returns the lineups of the specified match. If some matches have no lineups or no specific formations, then the player position will return 0.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;
public class SportDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set url parameter
String url = "http://api.isportsapi.com/sport/football/lineups?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&matchId=ID";
// Call iSport Api to get data in json format
String charset = "UTF-8";
String jsonResult = get(url, charset);
System.out.println(jsonResult);
}
/**
* @param url
* @param charset
* @return return json string
*/
public static String get(String url, String charset) {
BufferedReader reader = null;
String result = null;
StringBuffer sbf = new StringBuffer();
String userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/29.0.1547.66 Safari/537.36";
try {
URL newUrl = new URL(url);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)newUrl.openConnection();
connection.setRequestMethod("GET");
connection.setReadTimeout(30000);
connection.setConnectTimeout(30000);
connection.setRequestProperty("User-agent", userAgent);
connection.connect();
InputStream is = connection.getInputStream();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, charset));
String strRead = null;
while ((strRead = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sbf.append(strRead);
sbf.append("\r\n");
}
reader.close();
result = sbf.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
}
