transfermarkt.com API: search_players
transfermarkt.com via Parse · sports
Full-text search for football players by name. Accepts partial or full player names and returns paginated results with 10 players per page. Useful for finding a player's numeric ID which is required by profile, transfers, stats, and market value endpoints. Server handles fuzzy matching — partial strings like 'Mess' will match 'Messi'. Results include basic info: player ID, name, club, position, age, nationality, and market value display string. Results are auto-iterated across pages by the SDK; pass query only. Football player profiles, transfer history, market values, club data, referee info, and search from transfermarkt.com. Fulfilled by Parse from transfermarkt.com.
