Get Phoenix Suns scores in code

The events endpoint returns the whole NBA scoreboard, so keep the games where either team id is 21.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/21"

# This team's games in the current scoreboard (filter by team id 21)
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $RSA_API_KEY" "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/events" \
  | jq '.data[] | select(.homeTeam.id == "21" or .awayTeam.id == "21") | {name, date, status: .status.detail, home: .homeTeam.score, away: .awayTeam.score}'

const TEAM_ID = "21"; // Phoenix Suns
const res = await fetch("https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/events", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.RSA_API_KEY}` }
});
const { data } = await res.json();
const games = data.filter((e) => e.homeTeam.id === TEAM_ID || e.awayTeam.id === TEAM_ID);
for (const g of games) {
  console.log(g.shortName, g.status.detail, `${g.awayTeam.score}-${g.homeTeam.score}`);
}

import os, requests

TEAM_ID = "21"  # Phoenix Suns
res = requests.get(
    "https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/events",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['RSA_API_KEY']}"},
    timeout=10,
)
for g in res.json()["data"]:
    if TEAM_ID in (g["homeTeam"]["id"], g["awayTeam"]["id"]):
        print(g["shortName"], g["status"]["detail"], g["awayTeam"]["score"], g["homeTeam"]["score"])

Using the Realtime Sports MCP server (https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/mcp), call get_schedule with sport "basketball" and league "nba" for the next 14 days and list the Phoenix Suns games (team id 21) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

More endpoints for this team: /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/21/roster, /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/injuries?team=21, /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/news?team=21. Step-by-step builds: guides.

FAQ

How do I get live Phoenix Suns scores in JSON?

Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "21". The live endpoint returns the score, period, clock and status for games in progress. Data is aggregated from public sources and is typically 20-30 seconds behind live play (about 1 second after our source). There is no SLA.

Is there a free Phoenix Suns API?

Yes. The Free plan of Realtime Sports API is $0 with 1,000 calls in the first 30 days, then 125 calls per month, no card. The same key covers every NBA team and the other leagues.

What is the Phoenix Suns team id?

"21" in league "nba" (sport "basketball"). Use it with /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/21 for team details and /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/21/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.

When is the next Phoenix Suns game?

Phoenix Suns visit Portland Trail Blazers on Wed, Oct 21, 10:00 PM ET at Moda Center. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.

Does the API include Phoenix Suns betting odds?

Not reliably. Preseason or off-season when checked; no odds were returned for the games available. The odds endpoint returns data: null when a game has no odds.

Can I get Phoenix Suns score alerts pushed to me?

Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "nba", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "21" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
