Use this canonical ID in the team-detail request below. It identifies this team in Big Balls Sports Data, not in another provider's API.

Find the team by name

Set BBS_API_KEY to your own API key. Name search can match aliases; confirm the returned identity before using an ID. For a broader catalogue, follow limit and offset and read pagination.total rather than treating one page as the full list.
