Use Case:
Embed official clips with the embedUrl of each item to keep users on your match pages after the final whistle. Every clip carries the provider's geo rules in restriction, so check allowedCountries and blockedCountries against your viewer before playing it. Clips are VERIFIED by default; request type=UNVERIFIED only if you can handle user uploads that have no embed url.

7. Name Search and Autocomplete

Scenario:

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Use Case:
Power a search box or autocomplete, then feed the returned id straight into /matches, /team-statistics or /highlights. Omit type to search teams, leagues and players at once - handy for a single global search field.
