Getting quarter starting lineups

[skowronskid]

I'm posting here because the link to Slack channel doesn't work for me. The question is related to output data from endpoints.

I'm trying to get the starting lineup (player ids) for each period for both teams in regular seasons. Is there an endpoint that would provide such data?

The best source I could find outside of this repository is data from endpoints like: https://stats.nba.com/js/data/leaders/00_daily_lineups_20250314.json.

However, this only includes first-quarter starters, and there’s likely some retention policy in place, so the historical data doesn’t go back more than two seasons or so. Ideally, I’d like to access data as far as the 1996 season.

It's probably a lit of work but the play by play endpoint should get it done for you. I don't know how far back it goes. At the start of each quarter they do sub in and sub out
