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

Group: Players

A player’s penalties in one league season: scored and taken, and each kick — its fixture, outcome (goal, save, miss, post), where it ended in the goal and its xG (football). Since 2026-11-04.

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

Note: Penalties in play (not shoot-outs), oldest first. goalMouth uses the shot map’s goal-mouth frame. An empty list (counts null) where the source has none.

## Parameters

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| `league` | query | yes | a league id from /v2/players/{id}/seasons |
| `season` | query | yes | a season id from /v2/leagues/{id}/seasons |

## Response

- `data`: `PenaltyHistory`

## Errors

- 403 history_not_in_plan — the season ended before your plan’s history
