Volleyball Data

Zero-config access to Dutch volleyball data through the Nevobo API. Covers Eredivisie, Topdivisie, Superdivisie, and the entire Dutch pyramid (6,400+ poules). Pull standings, schedules, results, club info, and federation news without API keys. The CLI approach sidesteps Python import issues, and the competition ID system is well-documented with clear naming patterns. Useful if you're building dashboards or chat interfaces around European volleyball. The error handling guidance is thoughtful: it explicitly tells you which commands don't exist and how to recover from common mistakes like using club names instead of IDs.

Files

Volleyball Data (Nevobo — Dutch Volleyball)

Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.

Setup

Before first use, check if the CLI is available:

which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills

If pip install fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git

The package requires Python 3.10+. If your default Python is older, use a specific version:

python3 --version  # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills

No API keys required. All data comes from the Nevobo (Nederlandse Volleybalbond) open API.

Quick Start

Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:

sports-skills volleyball get_competitions
sports-skills volleyball get_standings --competition_id=nevobo-eredivisie-heren
sports-skills volleyball get_results --competition_id=nevobo-eredivisie-dames
sports-skills volleyball get_schedule --competition_id=nevobo-topdivisie-heren-a
