Documentation for Developers

Welcome to Digichief's on-line documentation repository for developers. You can use our APIs to access all of our content feeds if you have the appropriate authorization for your API key. You will find all of our content categories along the side navigation bar to the left. Once a main content category is selected, the navigation menu will expand revealing sub-categories for that main category.

You will need an API key before you can access any of our content. This key identifies your account and is required for any API calls. If you do not already have a key, please go to Sign up to setup a trial key.

We have setup a Developer Sandbox for you to develop with for content that is seasonal and not being generated "live" at the current time. For example, if this is May and you want to design the look of your output for NFL, naturally NFL would not be "in season" at that time, so your query would return data from the Sandbox instead of live data. If there is a sandbox for a specific content category, it will be listed in the documentation for the API call format for that particular content category.

API stands for "Application Programming Interface." It defines the kinds of requests (calls) that can be made, how to make them, the data formats that should be used, the conventions to follow, etc.

API trial keys last for 14 days.

An API trial key is content specific and is limited to 1,000 requests.

Yes. If you need a higher number of requests, please contact sales@digichief.com and they will work with you.

Yes. We do not limit any data points on the trial key .
