The universal game ID field, or gameUID, makes matching the same game from different APIs extremely easy. Regardless of the API, different listed away/home teams, or different listed starting times, the gameUID field will always be the same. See example below:
Type | API | Away team | Home team | Start date | Game UID |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
