Empty match data returned when searching for matches and teams from a specific league

[anandmudgerikar]

I am trying to build a ranking system for my amateur league and running into issues when loading match data for my league.

The api call for getting league info works fine:

request: https://api.opendota.com/api/leagues/16585
response: {'leagueid': 16585, 'ticket': None, 'banner': None, 'tier': 'excluded', 'name': 'AD2L Season 41'}

However, when trying to get matches and teams info for this league, the api returns empty responses.

request: https://api.opendota.com/api/leagues/16585/matches
response: []

request: https://api.opendota.com/api/leagues/16585/teams
response: []

I also checked that this is the case for other leagues, i tried different league ids but all empty.

We only track leagues with tier "premium" or "professional" (otherwise there are too many matches)

Gotcha. Any recommendations for getting this info some other way? I do see that all the league matches are marked with league_id, can I query the matches table directly?

The table will not contain the matches since we only insert if it's a tracked league.

If you have the match IDs, you can still query for individual match data/request parsing via the regular match data endpoints
