Flashscore API endpoint
Flashscore player news API
Returns up to 100 recent headlines about a player, aggregated from news publishers, with publisher, publication time and image. Links point to Flashscore's redirect to the publisher. A player without news returns an empty list. A team id returns not found, use flashscore-team-news for teams.

How this endpoint behaves
Returns up to 100 recent headlines about a player, aggregated by Flashscore from news publishers. This is the player counterpart of /api/v1/flashscore/team-news and is separate from Flashscore's own editorial articles (/api/v1/flashscore/news, /api/v1/flashscore/entity-news).
Query parameters:
id(required): eight-character Flashscore player id. A team id returns 404, and so does an unknown id.
Response fields: player_id, player_name, item_count and items. Each item has id, title, publisher, published_at (Unix seconds) with published_at_iso, an optional image_url and a link on flashscore.com that redirects to the publisher's article (the link is returned, not followed). Article text is not included. A player without headlines (most darts players, young players) returns an empty list. Counts vary a lot: Erling Haaland had 100 headlines and a tennis player ranked 56th had 16.
Example response (shortened):
