Using the REST API to query for Injury Effect Simulations#

Method Description Availability
POST /{sport}/v2/injury_impacts NFL

The injury impact api allows you to retrieve current Player Effect results that were generated using the Player Effect API. These are generated for each injured players on a roster and include the Player Effect results for if the player is in and out of the game. The results are provided as a quick way to retrieve the Player Effect results for comparison of an individual player's impact.

Use the event.uuid query parameter to filter to a specific event.

For example, here are the results for an NFL event:

GET https://api.quarter4.io/american-football/v2/injury_impacts?event.uuid=d2656fe4-1c17-4aec-a0b2-a753122de63d

Note

This result is very large so the example is not displayed here.

The result will contain a data array, each entity with an attribute of playerEffectIn and playerEffectOut. These properties contain the list of relevant player props for the players playing in the game.

  • The playerEffectIn attribute contains prediction as if the target player was Playing in the game.
  • The playerEffectOut attribute contains prediction as if the target player was NOT Playing in the game.

You can then use the two result sets to compare how a player's predicted performance is expected to change when the target player is in ou out.

Warning

The Injury Impact API results only deals with a single player at a time and does not include pre-computed results for multiple players. For example it does not include results for if player A & B are out vs if player A & B are in. You can use the Player Effect API to generate more advanced results.
