The support forums on ESPN.com recommend using Stack Overflow with the ESPN tag. That's why I'm here.
I'm trying to obtain a list of all NCAA college basketball teams using ESPN's Teams API. I started with this GET request:
http://api.espn.com/v1/sports/basketball/mens-college-basketball/teams?apikey=MY_API_KEY
That gave me a list of teams, but many of them are missing. For example, there is no Nebraska. So then I thought that maybe I need to get a list of teams by conference. So I read this in the documentation:
GROUPS: Allows for filtering by "group" or division, e.g. AL East, NFC South, etc. For group IDs and their corresponding values, make a request to http://developer.espn.com/v1/{resource}/leagues. Not applicable to golf and tennis.
So then I try to make a request to `http://developer.espn.com/v1/basketball/mens-college-basketball/leagues?apikey=MY_API_KEY' and it says the page does not exist.
Is this a bug or user error?
