Sports Metadata Wraps the free [TheSportsDB](https://www.thesportsdb.com) API for team logos, player photos, and stadium info. No API key, no signup. Quick Start Python SDK: CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any metadata command, verify: Team names use the full official name — especially for NBA (e.g., "Los Angeles Lakers" , not "Lakers" ). For get team logo , the sport parameter defaults to "Soccer" . Pass sport="Basketball" , "American Football" , "Baseball" , "Ice Hockey" , "Motorsport" , or "Cricket" when the team is not a soccer team — otherwise the lookup falls back to "first result regardless of sport," which may return the wrong team. Player searches use just the player name (e.g., "Messi" , "LeBron James" , "Tiger Woods" ). Coverage Teams (logos, banners, stadium info): Soccer: 100+ leagues worldwide (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, MLS, and many more) NFL (American Football) NBA (Basketball) — requires full team names MLB (Baseball) NHL (Ice Hockey) F1 (Motorsport) Cricket (IPL, international) Players (photos, bios): All team sports above Tennis (ATP/WTA players) Golf (PGA/LPGA players) Not covered: MMA/UFC, Rugby, Esports, Boxing. Commands Command Required Optional Description get team logo team name sport Team logo / badge URL get team info team name Full team info: stadium, description, social links, banner get player photo player name Player photo URL search teams query Fuzzy search for teams across sports search players query Fuzzy search for players across sports Workflows Enrich a Standings Response 1. Call the sport specific skill (e.g., football get season standings ) for the standings table. 2. For each team in the standings, call get team logo team name=<name to attach a badge URL. 3. Render the standings with logos alongside team names. Build a Team Profile Page 1. Call get team info team name="<name " for stadium, description, founding year, social links. 2. The same response includes badge and banner URLs — no second call needed. Resolve an Ambiguous Team Name 1. Call search teams query="<partial name " to disambiguate. 2. Use the exact name field from the result for follow up get team info calls. Examples Example 1: Get a Premier League team logo User says: "What does the Arsenal logo look like?" Actions: 1. Call get team logo(team name="Arsenal") — sport defaults to "Soccer", which is correct here. Result: Logo URL, sport, league, and country. Example 2: NBA team — full name required User says: "Get the Lakers logo" Actions: 1. Call get team logo(team name="Los Angeles Lakers", sport="Basketball") — both the full name AND the sport filter are needed. Result: Lakers badge from the NBA branch of TheSportsDB. Example 3: Player photo User says: "Show me a photo of Messi" Actions: 1. Call get player photo(player name="Messi") . Result: Player photo URL, sport, team, and nationality. Example 4: Disambiguate "Manchester" User says: "Find me Manchester teams" Actions: 1. Call search teams(query="Manchester") . Result: List of teams matching "Manchester" — Manchester United, Manchester City, etc. — each with sport, league, and country. Commands that DO NOT exist — never call these ~~ get stadium info ~~ — does not exist. Stadium info is included in get team info . ~~ get league logo ~~ — does not exist. Use get team logo for team badges only. ~~ get player stats ~~ — does not exist on this skill. TheSportsDB metadata does not include stats; use the sport specific skill (e.g., football get player profile , nba get player stats ). ~~ search leagues ~~ — does not exist. If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist. Troubleshooting Error: get team logo returns the wrong team Cause: A short or ambiguous team name (e.g., "Lakers", "Arsenal") matched a different sport first Solution: Pass an explicit sport parameter and use the team's full official name Error: get player photo returns null / empty Cause: Player not in TheSportsDB, or the name spelling differs (e.g., "Cristiano Ronaldo" vs "Ronaldo") Solution: Use search players query=<partial first to find the canonical spelling, then retry Error: Logo URL works but the image is low resolution Cause: TheSportsDB returns the badge as is from contributors Solution: This is an upstream limitation. Most badges are 200×200 or larger; very small icons indicate a low quality submission. No workaround.
