This REST API provides structured access to National Rugby League (NRL) data, designed for developers, analysts, and enthusiasts who want to build tools, explore statistics, or integrate rugby league insights into their applications. Since the NRL does not offer a public API for data ingestion, this project fills a critical gap—offering a reliable, maintainable, and domain-aligned interface to query match results, player stats, team information, and seasonal data.
The National Rugby League (NRL) does not currently offer a public API for data ingestion. This presents a challenge for developers, analysts, and fans who want to build tools, conduct research, or simply explore NRL data in a structured and reliable way. This project aims to fill that gap by providing a clean, maintainable, and domain-aligned REST API that makes NRL data accessible to anyone who needs it.
Whether you're building fan-facing apps, analytics dashboards, or internal tooling, this API offers a consistent and intuitive way to interact with match results, player stats, team rosters, and season schedules.
Onboarding Ease: The API is designed with contributors in mind. From concise table names to documented relationships and reusable templates, every architectural decision supports fast, confident onboarding. New developers should be able to understand the domain model and contribute meaningfully within hours, not days.
Maintainability & Extensibility: Built with separation of concerns, modular naming conventions, and clear identity anchors, the API is future-proofed for evolving league formats, rule changes, and new data sources. Whether you're adding a new stat type or refactoring a legacy endpoint, the structure supports safe, scalable growth.
By treating schema design as a communicative craft and automation as a contributor ally, this API aims to be more than just a data pipe—it’s a foundation for collaborative, transparent rugby league software development.
