SofaScore API endpoint

SofaScore league draft picks API

Returns one round of a league draft: each pick with the overall and in-round number, the drafting team, and the drafted prospect (name, position, college or club, top-prospect flag and the player id when SofaScore has one), plus the teams that hold no pick in that round. The `league` enum accepts `nba` (rounds 1 and 2) and `nfl` (rounds 1 to 7); other rounds return 400. Get `year` from the draft endpoint's `draft.year` and `previous_draft.year`; SofaScore keeps only recent drafts, so an older year returns 404. Returns 404 when SofaScore has no picks for that year and round.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

league: required enum. Allowed values: nba, nfl.
year: required. Four-digit draft year, e.g. 2025. Take it from draft.year or previous_draft.year of the draft endpoint.
round: required. Draft round, 1 or 2 for nba and 1 to 7 for nfl. The draft endpoint lists the rounds. Any other round returns 400.

Notable response behavior:

Each pick has pick_in_round, overall_pick, the drafting team, and the prospect (name, position, school_name and school for the college or club, is_top_prospect and, when SofaScore has the player, a player with the player id). teams_without_round_pick lists teams that hold no pick in the round.
SofaScore keeps only recent drafts: the NBA answered for 2019, 2020, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and not for 2018 or earlier years, and the NFL answered for 2025 and 2026 and not for 2020 or 2010 (checked 2026-10-07), so an older year returns 404. Returns 404 as well for a year in the future.
