nba — CDN (espn.com page data)

4 endpoints on sdv.nba. Each is exposed under a camelCase canonical name and a snake_case alias (py/R parity), accepts snake_case or camelCase params, and returns raw ESPN JSON by default ({ parsed: true } for tidy rows).

espnNbaCdnBoxscore

NBA — cdn boxscore (ESPN cdn.espn.com (espn.com page data)).

Endpoint URL: GET https://cdn.espn.com/core/nba/boxscore?xhr=1

gameId	game_id	no	query parameter

—	section	no	with parsed, return one named sub-frame (e.g. boxscore, plays, winprobability) instead of all

Returns: raw ESPN Dict by default. With { parsed: true } the page's gamepackageJSON (a Site v2 summary) goes through the summary dispatcher, which returns an object of 21 sub-frames keyed by section ({ parsed: true, section: '<name>' } for one); see ESPN parsed returns.

await sdv.nba.espnNbaCdnBoxscore({});
