Boston Bruins API team ID

NHL · ice_hockey · BOS

Build with Boston Bruins data

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.

971c1d5b-b749-4117-9a7a-79cfa842f1ec

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.

curl 'https://api.bigballsdata.com/v1/teams?sport=ice_hockey&league=nhl&name=Boston+Bruins&limit=2' -H "x-api-key: $BBS_API_KEY"
