Endpoint: <code>/wp-json/sportspress/v2/players</code>

Most fields support multiple contexts (<code>view</code>, <code>edit</code>, <code>embed</code>), controlling visibility and modification permissions across different API access scenarios.

Players created via the REST API may not appear automatically in player lists. This is a known gap documented in the support forum. After creating a player via API, verify that the player is assigned to the correct team in the WordPress admin, and that the player list is configured to include players from that team.

POST /wp-json/sportspress/v2/players
Content-Type: application/json{
  "title": "John Smith",
  "status": "publish",
  "number": 10,
  "nationalities": ["eng"],
  "current_teams": [10],
  "leagues": [5],
  "seasons": [3],
  "positions": [7]
}

PUT /wp-json/sportspress/v2/players/55
Content-Type: application/json{
  "metrics": {
    "height": "180",
    "weight": "75"
  }
}

Note: Updating player metrics via REST API requires SportsPress Pro 2.7.3 or later.

GET /wp-json/sportspress/v2/players?leagues=5&amp;seasons=3

Player list endpoint filtering was added in SportsPress Pro 2.5.5.
