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

Group: Players

Where a player was active over one league season (football): his match heatmaps added up — every point with how many samples fell on it — and the matches it covers.

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

Note: x / y are 0–100 like the match heatmap (x along the pitch in his team’s attacking direction). Weight the density by count. Football in covered leagues only.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | yes | our numeric id (positive integer) |
| `league` | query | yes | a league id from /v2/players/{id}/seasons |
| `season` | query | yes | a season id from /v2/leagues/{id}/seasons |

## Response

- `data`: `SeasonHeatmap`
- `meta`: league, season, count (points)
- Objects: SeasonHeatmap (https://sportsapi.app/markdown/en/reference.md#seasonheatmap)

## Errors

- 403 history_not_in_plan — the season ended before your plan’s history
- 404 no_data — the source has no season heatmap for this player, league and season; 404 not_found — season is not one of this league’s seasons
