}About the sky.com API
The Sky Sports API exposes 8 endpoints covering football news, transfer window updates, and match fixtures from Sky Sports. Use get_football_news for paginated headlines across all football coverage, get_article_detail to retrieve full body text, author, and images for any article, or get_football_scores_fixtures to pull match results grouped by competition for any given date.
News and Article Endpoints
Four endpoints handle article listings: get_football_news returns general football coverage, get_premier_league_news scopes to Premier League content, get_team_news accepts a team_slug parameter (e.g. arsenal, liverpool, manchester-city) for club-specific feeds, and get_competition_news accepts a competition_slug (e.g. premier-league, fa-cup, championship). All four return the same shape: a paginated array of article objects with headline, url, summary, image_url, date, and tag, plus a has_more boolean for walking subsequent pages. To retrieve full content, pass any article url to get_article_detail, which returns the complete body text, ISO 8601 date, author (or null), a headline, summary, and an images array with per-image url and caption.
Transfer Centre Endpoints
get_transfer_news pulls live bulletins from the Transfer Centre feed in reverse chronological order. Each bulletin carries an id, title, author, created_at timestamp, content_html, and summary. Pagination uses a cursor model — pass the next_cursor integer from one response as the cursor parameter in the next call to load older bulletins; a null next_cursor indicates the end of the feed. get_transfer_done_deals returns confirmed deals from the current transfer window, with each deal object containing a club and either a structured deal field or a raw content string, plus the source article's headline.
Scores and Fixtures
get_football_scores_fixtures accepts an optional date parameter in YYYY-MM-DD format (defaults to today UTC) and returns all matches for that day grouped by competition. Each match object includes id, competition, home_team, away_team, home_score, away_score, time, and status. This covers multiple competitions in a single response, making it straightforward to build daily fixture displays or scan results across leagues without multiple requests.
