# GET /v2/players/{id}/attributes

Group: Players

A football player’s attribute ratings from the source’s scouting model (0–100): attacking, technical, tactical, defending and creativity — for goalkeepers saves, anticipation, ball distribution, aerial and tactical — now and in the years before, the average of players in his position, his strengths and weaknesses, and the detailed positions he plays.

Plans: Pro + Business only (other plans get 403 endpoint_not_in_plan).

Note: The keys of the other kind are null (a goalkeeper has no attacking rating). history runs current first (yearsAgo 0, 1, 2, …). strengths / weaknesses are a closed set (PlayerCharacteristic) and may be empty.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | yes | our numeric id (positive integer) |

## Response

- `data`: `PlayerAttributes`
- Objects: PlayerAttributes (https://sportsapi.app/markdown/en/reference.md#playerattributes)

## Errors

- 404 no_data — the source does not rate this player (other sports, many lower leagues); 404 not_found — an id we never issued

Plus the common errors (https://sportsapi.app/markdown/en/docs.md#errors).
